Automated Back-Tests 5 and 6:

[NOTE to Programmer: Take code from tests 2 and 4 and rewrite using the 50-day ma for Test 5 and then the 200-day ma for Test 6].

===========================================
ROOM FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN THE FOLLOWING AREA ON TESTS 5 AND 6:

[NOTE to programmer: the following bit of code would be inserted when you're holding position because price is above the 50-day ma in Test 5 and above the 200-day in Test 6.]

IF 50-day ma is angled upward 20+ degrees
AND
IF price breaks below 50-day ma by < 2%
HOLD
OR
IF price breaks below 50-day ma by > 2%
SELL.

[NOTE to programmer: the above fragment can be written and tested on Test 6 but changing all numbers to reflect the 2000-day ma.]

[NOTE to programmer: Because this is a suggested fragment as an area for continuous improvement, the angle of the line (+20 degrees) and the percentage break of the line (< 2 percent) are variable and should be tested with a variety of numbers and combinations to discover the ideal angles and percentage breaks to maximize gains and minimize losses.]
