We have this backtesting rule of only trading 1 signal/stock/per day for 2 main reasons:

1. We don't want the success of a strategy to be dependent on crazy in and out schemes. "Get in here. Ok, get out now. And get back in here". Great on paper - not so great in practice. We keep it real.

2. (Real reason) You know how fast we give you the OM results across all the stocks that met your pattern/strategy, you may not know just how much computing power is required to do so (alot). The first improvement we made to the OddsMaker (based on great suggestions like yours) was to expand the backtest range from 15 days to 30.

There will come a day to further improve the OddsMaker. These suggestions are good ones that I will add to the list.

Many thanks!
