Re: [amibroker] Backtesting question for TC2000 users

Here's a quote I was just reading this morning from a presentation to be made here in Houston..... What causes price movements?  
Market 31%
Sector 49%
Stock  20%    
from Benjamin King University of Chicago - a reference to King's study  http://ezinearticles.com/?Swim-With-the-Current&id=151456 
 
The sector relative strength/rotation strategy worked very successfully with mutual funds, say the Fidelity Selects, in years past but I've not seen as much success with this approach lately in Profunds sectors nor with stocks.  If fact a better strategy with Ultra Profunds is to take the approach of buying the funds that are beaten down.

That sounds logical, but consider....  In many cases, (I've seen a bunch
of 'em)  there are situations where there are very strong stock price up
movements, in sectors where the overall price movement is down.  Lots of
times, these are stocks that are VERY strong. 

I like the old saw..  rising tides,......lift all boats..   but I'm not
willing to overlook the airplanes.
