The S&P/TSX 60 Bullish Crossover Portfolio trading strategy:
BUY a component stock of the S&P/TSX 60 index when:
tagged with a “Bullish Crossover”  indicator
SELL a stock when:
tagged with a “Bearish Crossover”  indicator
 

 
* This strategy has been applied to the stock history of the 60 current (constituent stocks since March 9, 2012) members of the S&P/TSX 60 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 S&P/TSX 60 index, however, existing portfolio positions of stocks removed from the index remain as 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 27-year historical data of current components of the S&P/TSX 60 index generates the following results:
 
 
The two-decade trading record has produced positive relative returns, although the 2008 market collapse hit the portfolio trading strategy hard. The annualized return on average capital invested is 14%, compared to the 5.8% average annual return of the benchmark TSX/S&P Composite index over the same period.
