If you have a better way than me to test this system please do. I am not computer savvy enough to do anything but old fashioned pencil and paper type work though I have graduated to a calculator and entering the results into an excel program.

your figures do not match with 2SMA on daily chart signal

This was not done using a 2SMA but a 1SMA, though the results would be very close to the same as there are a couple of days at the most days that would call for a different signal. I went this way as per the post that started this discussion and clamed the 54,000% plus return. Is simply if day today closes higher than yesterday one would go long for tomorrow and if today closes lower than yesterday one would be short tomorrow.

From 05/11 your figures...showing negative results when It should be showing positive

I don't understand your saying that my chart shows negative results for 5/11. On 5/10 the system was -17.13% on 5/11 -15.06% 5/12 -13.04% that is positive results.

On other short dates when there should be profit it is showing losses e.g. 6/6 to 6/13 period.

From 6/6 to 6/13 it went from -13.12% to -8.72%, a 4.4% gain.

Perhaps the way I did the formatting is the problem. I am self taught and it all makes sense to me but I would not be surprised to find my method is not the generally accepted way to format or present.
