* This strategy has been applied to the stock history of the 100 current (constituent stocks commencing March 9, 2012) members of the S&P 100 Index. It does not replicate this strategy on the historical components of the index. The strategy will make adjustments for changes in the components of the index, however, existing portfolio positions of stocks that are removed from the index remain as portfolio holdings until the sell signal is triggered.
The money management rules for the portfolio are as follows:
Exposure to each position is limited to $10,000.
Transaction costs are factored into the cost of purchases and the net proceeds of sales at 1% in and 1% out, or 2% commission on a round trip.
Applying this very simple trading system on the Stock Trends 40-year historical data of current components of the S&P 100 index generates the following results:
