Adam, I do not understand your remark. . . Why would anyone be reluctant to post a Dry Run Investment Portfolio of SPY?

Maybe I have not made it clear enough at the start that this portfolio is an exercise for an investment using optimised parameters based on historical prices to get the parameters set by some "technical" means instead of purely on the basis of "gut feelings" or just arbitrarily. The idea is that it must be more likely to be right than picking the parameters by casting a die.

Anyway, experiments always have some redeeming qualities for the learning effects they can provide and are therefore worth showing them, even if it is how not to set the starting parameters for a Vortex AIM Program. . . may be it gives me a bit of a start on write the next book I have in mind:

"How not to make a Million Dollars in the Stock Market Automatically".
