Hi spike,

with tweaks this great, you might as well reset the system. Perhaps something else comes up after these tweaks, and you need to re-tweak big time. No problem; reset the system again. Perhaps you are still in the system building phase? And you need a life beside this test and your own thread, so the top 5 looks OK to me. And you might think about excluding thinly traded stocks, because I don't think one would be able to get a good entry there, the way you set things up.

Regards,

Karel

Hi Karel. Thanks. Yes, I do need a life This is a time consuming thing with so many stocks and charts, so 5 stocks and the filtering will lower the workload significantly.

Ya, absolutely still in the system building phase S2s aren't standing up too well with Mr. Market's picks obviously, but if I had more time I'd follow it for a longer period of time - a few days isn't going to be accurate, and I do think that this system has potential. I suspect as you commented, the stops are too tight. And great point about thin stocks. Not very kind on stops in most cases.

Anyway, the winners today are helping the system's ego

I'll terminate the system as of now, and start the new system as of now.

Karel,
I should probably start a new thread, since future content is not going to be "Swing trading the Mr. Market portfolio" as the thread name suggests. Or is it possible to change the thread title to "Swing trading Mr.Market's latest Top Five"?

Hi spike,

Just start a new thread. This one will sink down out of sight when it is no longer active.

Karel
