Attached is a chart which was on our website until it was removed in compliance with Canadian securities law. Disclaimer: The sole purpose of this backtest is to show why we believe that StockStalker's scoring system is better-than-random. It is not intended to suggest any type of recommended use. The bars on this chart show the median change in the price of stocks following their exhibition of certain scores. The percentages include both buy and sell candidates. The price change of sell candidates is negated for the purpose of inclusion in this chart.
Marketsurfer, for the duration of your trial you may want to record instances of stocks scoring 12 and 13 to compare them to this backtest. Also, please consider that to value StockStalker merely for its scoring system is to greatly underestimate the utility of congruent projections. Projections are however qualitative and thus-far unbacktested.
thanks for the information. impressive performance---- you need to change your corporate residency to avoid those draconian regulations. best, surfer
