Hey guys I just found about this about a day ago and I am super excited to be playing around with this stuff! I want to I guess kinda contribute so I was wondering if anyone had ever used this site? =>http://www.backtest.org/<= It's sorta like this but with a lot more limitations in execution and whatnot. That being said, it has a huge amount of other data like P/E, etc. I was fooling around with it(it's how I found this place) and I think I've made a algorithm of sorts, that if it could be adapted to this, could be very profitable. => http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.backtest.org%2F8912i1000000c15st25th12SS(EG5_AT)(SOS_KitchenSink)(PIH_CSO_safe)(LOWPE_ZLTDA)(LOWPE_ZLTD)(YLDEARNYEAR2)(DIVIDEND_GROWTH)(Fundamentals)(SomeMoJoeSafe)(PEG-Minimalist)10l6&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEnUA831KoqdbeWtDYVuOy3eK1-tA <= Has anyone else come up with similar results?
That site is interesting. However I find it incredibly opaque. How do you know what any of the codes mean?
I thought the same thing... Heh. It took me ages to find it but I eventually found this =>http://www.backtest.org/vlfields.html <= It shows you what all the fields mean sort of(I still don't understand what Price stability and a lot of stuff means) There's also this: =>http://www.backtest.org/screens.html<= It shows you what all the screens use to arrive at their conclusions.
