Kedew...XLK settings.

Here is one set of parameters with the first buy in the late July dip. I picked this time frame, because the previous price action was downtrending strongly, and more recent price actions suggests less downward pressure on the stock. I chose not to use 'only' positive data, because I am not convinced the markets are out of the woods yet, and I wanted to include some of the less favorable price action. Picking 7/1/02 as a start date for the optimization provided a more moderate view going forward, and showed a more 'sideways' bias. Doesn't mean I am correct...I just wanted to share MY reasoning.

During the selected time frame, the price action of XLK triggered some early buys and sells using XDEV, which is why it is hard to get a great return from it.
