Nutrition Strategy 01

Below I’ve listed what, currently, I try to eat on a daily basis. This, is not, of course, everything I eat nor do I eat everything on the list every day. But these are the foods I try to stick to as my primary fuel for life and for longevity. Here, I have to say that the less I eat the better I tend to feel as a general rule. Continue reading

Holy Grail Testing 20251211

The formula is:

Sum(Abs(Abs(((3 * FAVGC7.0 – 2 * AVGC7.0))>((3 * FAVGC7.1 – 2 * AVGC7.1)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC14.0 – 2 * AVGC14.0))>((3 * FAVGC14.1 – 2 * AVGC14.1)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC20.0 – 2 * AVGC20.0))>((3 * FAVGC20.1 – 2 * AVGC20.1)))++Abs(((3 * FAVGC30.0 – 2 * AVGC30.0))>((3 * FAVGC30.1 – 2 * AVGC30.1)))>=2and Abs(((3 * FAVGC7.1 – 2 * AVGC7.1))>((3 * FAVGC7.2 – 2 * AVGC7.2)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC14.1 – 2 * AVGC14.1))>((3 * FAVGC14.2 – 2 * AVGC14.2)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC20.1 – 2 * AVGC20.1))>((3 * FAVGC20.2 – 2 * AVGC20.2)))++Abs(((3 * FAVGC30.1 – 2 * AVGC30.1))>((3 * FAVGC30.2 – 2 * AVGC30.2)))>=2)* (c-c1)/c1*100,250)-Sum(Abs(Abs(((3 * FAVGC7.0 – 2 * AVGC7.0))>((3 * FAVGC7.1 – 2 * AVGC7.1)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC14.0 – 2 * AVGC14.0))>((3 * FAVGC14.1 – 2 * AVGC14.1)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC20.0 – 2 * AVGC20.0))>((3 * FAVGC20.1 – 2 * AVGC20.1)))++Abs(((3 * FAVGC30.0 – 2 * AVGC30.0))>((3 * FAVGC30.1 – 2 * AVGC30.1)))<2and Abs(((3 * FAVGC7.1 – 2 * AVGC7.1))>((3 * FAVGC7.2 – 2 * AVGC7.2)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC14.1 – 2 * AVGC14.1))>((3 * FAVGC14.2 – 2 * AVGC14.2)))+Abs(((3 * FAVGC20.1 – 2 * AVGC20.1))>((3 * FAVGC20.2 – 2 * AVGC20.2)))++Abs(((3 * FAVGC30.1 – 2 * AVGC30.1))>((3 * FAVGC30.2 – 2 * AVGC30.2)))>=2)* (c-c1)/c1*100,250)

 

Stock Market Notes 20250918

The Buy/Sell formula is:

(C-C1)/C1*100 + (C1-C2)/C2*100 + (C2-C3)/C3*100 + (C3-C4)/C4*100 + (C4-C5)/C5*100 + (C5-C6)/C6*100 + (C6-C7)/C7*100 + (C7-C8)/C8*100 + (C8-C9)/C9*100 + (C9-C10)/C10*100 + (C10-C11)/C11*100

If the previous day is negative and the current day is positive you BUY at open and if the previous day is positive and the current day is negative you sell at open. Pretty simple. I will be writing code to validate the data results.
