I'd like to add to my last posting. Using a random number generator, or some
other selection method, select a group of 5 to 10 stocks from the list and
run your system on them. repeat this with another selection from the list.
This will at least tell you if your system has any promise.
I think you need to add more to your idea for it to be a viable methodology.
You are assuming that the market will be up one year after you make a
purchase.

test only *one* security. I have to test all 499 securities by hand. Can
this be done automatically? What am I missing?

highest relative strength (e.g. formula above) and sell them one year later,
when I want to buy the new strongest securities from that (hopefully
increased) money.
