There really doesn't seem to be enouth information to see what you are getting at? Take AMD for example. It seems you picked an entry point in the past that moved up after a 52 week low so why not pick November 1990 ($2.19) instead? Anyone can look at historic data and choose a good entry point so what is special about your method/ More detail would be useful. How do you use trial and error to pick an entry point in the future? I don't mean to critize what you have presented but I am having a hard time trying to determine what you are saying.
Hi Ocroft, Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of choosing when to have entered a particular stock in the past.
This is a game that vendors of trading software use to show how their method will make wealth, they choose stocks and time periods when the method works great and it's all in the past. When you know what a stock has done in the past it's easy to make a method that works in the past.
Hi Ocroft. My AMD program goes back to Oct 2005 at 21.58, it peaked to 40.57 then dropped to 2.4 and now it sits at just over 8. My timing was bad but it could have been worse. Trying to AIM this strains all methods to prevent an investment disaster.
