@xarlor,

I made the changes you asked for except I don't have an all stocks no ETFs symbol list in Edgerater so I just ran it on my all stocks list.(6979 stocks and etfs)

Since it was a short list of results due to your 200M volume parameter change.
I've included the trade list output further below.

Well, that was a fail on my part. My zero key must have gotten stuck because I certainly didn't mean 200 million but 2 million in volume. Sorry!

@xarlor,

I had thought you probably meant $2M but when I double checked and saw the commas in the right places I changed my mind...

Below is the backtest with it changed back to $2m.

Yikes. Well I guess that answers that. I'm going to have to learn Edgewater so I can tweak the rules. Thank you again for indulging my curiosity, nibor.

@xarlor,

Backtest was doing great until middle of Feb 2020 with a total equity of around $600K then the Covid decline took place with many signals for entry as stocks began to fall fast and then continued falling for days before eventually recovering enough to have a RSI(2) level >70.

As an example of just one backtest trading date; if you run your filter on 26 Feb 2020 and then look at the chart of UAL you'll see an example of what happened to hundreds of stocks in the backtest. UAL ended up with a loss of -50.4% and it was one of the medium size losses. The backtest had 70 trades enter on the 26th and around 50 were losers.

The other reason the backtest got hammered is because of large size of the equity and the entry requirement rule of using just 2% of available equity resulting in many, many trades required to keep that $600K in the market.

I'm willing to do a couple of tweak backtests if you'd like since I already have the basic entry and exit scripts written.

Okay, it's actually comforting knowing the strategy was doing great up until a Black Swan event.

Looking at UAL and going off what you said, seems a simple check is in order. If you're willing to take this further, let's just add a very basic uptrend indicator as a go/no-go entry:

low > ma(200)

P.S. - How did the strategy end with negative equity? No margin was to be used and trades only taken with available capital. The worst the strategy should theoretically end at is $0.

You are on the right track here and the RSI 2 is a great oversold/overbought indicator.
You are getting several important pieces of data when running the scan:
First is total number of returns, if the overall market is oversold you would expect a very large number of returns.
If it is a small amount of returns, the individual stock has an issue or could be issues in a sector, you may not want to take the trade automatically.

You could use relative strength greater than the SPX, I think it is important to limit your overall list to the market leaders (for bullish) it needs to be in an uptrend- example ( Close > 100sma) (slope of 100SMA > 0).
You should use a better entry, SF only has eod data for testing try close > close 1 day ago.
Exit could be Close < Close 1 day ago.

This is basically buy the dip or sell the rip, when you add in support and resistance you can get a real nice entry.

@xarlor,

Good question, as I've never seen negative equity before either on any of my backtests run in Edgerater Pro nor Edgerater PRO 2020.

Perhaps, he undid some toggle when he updated the program this year, or when he added the Batch backtesting options.

I've sent him your question.

I'll probably run the go/no go backtest change sometime during today's Magic game.
