6 Month Return - Best Test Stock

Hello All,

I'm looking to create an algorithm to give me the highest possible return over a 6 month period with an initial investment of $10k. Does anyone know a good stock to test this on, i.e. one that has risen and fallen in equal amounts over a 6 month period.

Thanks.

Tom

Hello Tom,

What do you mean by "risen and fallen in equal amounts"? You should be able to write a screen using set_universe. Presumably, you are looking for a stock whose price was flat over the last 6 months? Or something else?
