This is a simple concept; however, there are many questions an investor could ask. It was
these questions that lead to developing FastBreak. The following list has a few of the
questions FastBreak allows the user to run historical analysis on:
What if the buy ranking period is different from the sell ranking period?
What if the fund has a minimum holding period to avoid transaction fees?
What if a strategy has a stop loss, even if there is a transaction fee?
What if more than one fund is held?
What if there is a change in the point a fund drops in the ranked list before it is sold, i.e.
top 50%, 30%, 20%....?
What has been the historical maximum draw down for a strategy?
What are the Ulcer Index and Ulcer Performance Index for a strategy?
What happens to the historical performance if funds are added or removed from a trading
family?
What if I want to add a fund or stock into my strategy using the FastTrack FNU file for-
mat?
What if I use a market timing signal in my strategy?
Warning, back testing is no guarantee of future results, but it can provide
very useful information when developing trading systems.
