Fred i use it as a tool to confirm if my ranking formula is
profitable.
If i get 20 buy signals on a day , which ticker do i select,
so i test different ranking formulas, with my buy and sell
conditions,from the ami exploration and then test if it was
profitable in excel.
If the results were good i will then know which ticker to select
from my exploration, for the next days trade, if multiple buys had
occured,
by choosing the ticker with the highest ranking value.
If i trade more than 1 ticker, i would also select the second
highest ranking.
I have had profit results much higher than $1000,000,000, in 1
sheet, but
i dont expect to get this result in real life as i would not be able
to place that amount in 1 trade.
So if i see a result as above, i would assume that the highest rank
of my buy and sell conditions,would be a good choice for the next
trade signal.
Peter.
