I had a good profit in January but lost a lot of it and I gradually sold off some funds with the 20-50 MACD and 50-day Williams %R system (which I am still using for selling off funds), but there weren't any up-rising funds to buy when using that system for buying. So I changed to buying high-quality, hopefully long-lasting funds.
I got to thinking if it's extreme 20-50 MACD strength I want to buy, I ought to have a way of screening for it.
