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)

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.

RoC Layout ImageCreated a new layout called RoC. It’s all about Rate of Change. It’s impressive. I also ran into a website I like called https://portfolioslab.com/ and I think that it deserves further attention and a one-month trial membership that can be had for $19. It might be worth spending a month studying it simply to help me learn more about portfolio management.
