What came out of this report was that only 5% of the variations we tested actually outperformed the market. This includes finding out exactly which indicators worked and which didn't. Let's not mess around here, we backtested 17.34 million trades and afterwards it took us nearly 2 months just to summarize the data into the most significant pieces. But if we had to narrow down just the top 5 things you'll learn, here they are: 1) The Specific Indicators that Outperformed the SPY Benchmark 5 Things "SIGNALS" Reveals About Technical Analysis You Need to Knowįirst off there are way more than just 5 things you'll learn from reading this backtesting report. And for that reason, I knew almost a year and a half ago when we started this project that it had to be bigger, and better than anything else out there right now.Ĭonfidently I can say that NOBODY has done the backtesting research that our team did with as much depth and detail. Heck, I would have laughed at myself too.
You'd probably laugh in my face and tell me that whatever came out of that report was just dumb luck. Honestly now how confident would you have been if I said to you, " We tested 5 stocks for 3 years and 200 trades and this is what we discovered." Or more importantly, reliable for people like you to use in the future. It took us quite a long time, and I ended up hiring some additional full-time help, but after nearly 12 months of non-stop backtesting, we had a huge database of more than 17.34 million individual stock trades that we tracked and analyzed.Īnd while the 17.34 million trades part just sounds really cool, the point of doing so much research was to gather enough data points to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that our research was correct. We selected 223 stocks and analyzed their performance using 17 different technical indicators with more than 1,400 test variations for the past 20 years (from 1995-2015).
