“I thought [BackTesting
Report] was well written, well organized, logical, insightful,
well researched and the clear graphics helped to make it easy to
understand [the] major points.” – |
From the desk of Jackie Ann
Patterson, BackTesting Report Editor 
To Anyone Who Wants to Make Money in the Stock Market-
Imagine that you own a major
-league sports team….As a team owner, you’re about to draft new players. How might you decide which player to pick? Would you judge them by whether they're easy on the eyes? If they get good write-ups in the press? Or their fan mail? Or would you look at their actual record?
If you want a winning team, you'd better pick players that have done well in the past, and avoid those that lost more than they won. What’s more, as a team owner, you figure out the strengths and weaknesses of your team members and how to field them in just the right way for maximum advantage.
The same goes for stock market strategies. You definitely want to avoid ones with poor track records. There’s no reason to think that a strategy or indicator that hasn’t worked in the past will suddenly make
good profits. But when you do find one that looks promising, you'll want to find out how best to put it to use.Like the sports team owner, you know that just because a player or strategy has a great track record, it doesn’t mean it will win every time.
In fact, the potential for loss is always present. However, by factoring in the hard data of a long-term track record, you may have a better chance of success, and gain some peace of mind that you have thoroughly investigated the odds.Backtesting Can Help You Avoid Losing Strategies
Back testing means applying a set of buy/sell rules to historical price data. It’s not without limitations, but backtesting aids you in quickly getting to know a technical indicator or other objective decision-making strategy. It helps you weed out losing strategies and focus on strategies with the best profit potential.
Backtesting isn't perfect. Simulation never models the world exactly. But I'd rather fly in an airplane that's been shaken out in a simulator, and I like my market strategies well tested, thank you.

“Jackie, You
do seem to have come pretty much to the same conclusions that our
research staff has. Most of what you see [in
other publications] regarding MACD |
Successful money managers like Gerald Appel employ a staff of researchers to test out their market strategy ideas. Of course major research goes on at hedge funds and big investment firms. These people are your competitors in the market. They know exactly how their strategy performed in the past, and can trade confidently in the future. If you can't say the same, you may need to level the playing field to succeed.
It is for this very reason that many experienced traders, money managers, and private investors know they ought to back test their strategies. And yet, somehow, just never get around to it. Why is that? Likely, its because...
Backtesting On Your Own is Hard Work
!The truth is that backtesting is tedious, meticulous work. I can tell you first hand the problems you face when you actually back test a strategy. You need the time and expertise to:
If you back test on any meaningful scale for a long-term strategy, you shell out thousands of dollars for:
- Powerful computers, disk drives
- Extensive stock data including delisted tickers
And all of this time, expense, and headache applies -- even if you just use the free backtesting engine provided by your broker! When you step up to an independent backtesting engine, you're looking at yet another expense that can run into hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

“The reports are well written, easy to understand and nicely laid out.” – David McClellan, Software Engineer, Private Trader |
Backtesting Report Tests The Strategies For You
Now there's an easier way. Instead of doing all that work, and instead of flying blind in a crazy market, you could be armed with a concise report showing you what worked, what didn't and how to avoid mistakes even experts make.
I've literally spent hundreds of hours of computer time in a professional-quality backtesting environment, verifying popular strategies and indicators. That generated enough data to create its own challenges. A lot of thinking went editing and graphing the results to highlight the most meaningful segments. The end-result is yours when you read BackTesting Report.

Three Types of People Can Benefit From Reports - Which Group Are You In?
Different people have different inclinations and there is no one best way to make money in the market. Some experts say that the best way is the way that fits you.
Taking it step-by-step in backtesting allows me to test each buy strategy with different selling strategies. That allows you to choose among various strategies that align with your financial goals, temperament, and tolerance for risk. Each report is divided into sections with results specifically geared to:
Active Investors: An active investor manages his/her positions and holds stocks for about a year. Typically, this investor trades the long side of the market. They may put more effort into entry strategies to decide when to buy than deciding when to sell. Few active investors practice selling short. A successful active investor catches a trend, rides it even through rough patches, and exits rather than give all profits back on an opposing trend.
Position Traders: A position trader seeks intermediate-term opportunities. To be successful, a position trader gets in on a burst of action -- perhaps one leg of a longer-running trend -- and gets out before the action fades.
Swing Traders: A Swing Trader capitalizes on short-term price movements. A swing trader will hold overnight, possibly for several days, which distinguishes swing trading from day-trading. However, a swing trader rarely rides the long-term trend. Instead a swing trader is ready with a quick exit the moment the trade goes the other way. Given the shorter time span, swing traders need entry and exit strategies that pounce on the opportunities to get in, capture profits, and get out.
Regardless
of their style, everyone who benefits from BackTesting Report has one thing in
common: They all take action they believe will lead to better
results.
“I am very impressed with the
thoroughness of this tremendous volume of high quality work. Before
trading a system, you should get an idea of its win percentage and expected
return so the risk parameters can be set appropriately and conservatively.
I really liked [BackTesting Report’s] baseline approach which gives you
an idea of what that particular market and period favored so one isn’t lulled
into trading a mediocre strategy because the testing was done in a perfectly
matched period. I look forward to seeing your next pass.” Unique Market Baseline
Technique Shows You Which Strategies Don't Pull Their Own Weight
Let me tell you a story...at the 2008 San Francisco Money Show, I talked with some traders who bought a particular piece of software at a price of over $5000. One gave a glowing recommendation based on swing trading with it for a couple years. Several months later, at a local training event, I ran into one of the same guys.
I asked about trading with that fancy software, and he acknowledged a rough year. "It just needs the market to go up," he said.
The moral of the story is that if you don't want to be sucked into a strategy that only works when the market goes up, you need to know what the market was doing when the strategy's performance was measured. For example, a strategy that won 60% of the time may sound good until you learn that buying indiscriminately brought a 65% win rate during that same time. On the other hand, a strategy that hypothetically returns 1% might actually be excellent, if it is being tested over a time when the market went down 9%.
That's why BackTesting Report compares each test strategy to a common baseline strategy. To be effective, both runs need to be on the same stocks over the same time periods. BackTesting Report also uses three different time periods with three different market climates. When you get a chance to see how an indicator performed in different conditions, you have a much better idea where it fits in your own strategy.

This issue back tests a simple strategy to give you a baseline for the markets. I'm giving this one away free because once you read this report and grasp the value of a baseline measurement, you'll want to compare every indicator to the baseline as you decide on a strategy to fit your style.

“I enjoyed your well thought out articles. There sure is a lot of mis- and dis-information out there. The typical neophyte will try every strategy he or she comes across to see what really works. It’s good that you’ve taken the trouble to wade through and evaluate it in a meaningful and comprehensive manner. You’ve taken the legwork and, more importantly, the guesswork out of the process.” – Gary Winters, Electrical Engineer, Private Trader, Driving Force at IncaTrades.com |
At this point, you're probably wondering:
If Backtesting Report is so useful, Jackie, why would you sell it at all?
Why not just quietly trade from it to make a fortune?
The reason I'm selling BackTesting Report is partly because I made too many of the mistakes that could have been prevented by reading BackTesting Report.
Mistake 1: Initially, trading an untested strategy.
Mistake 2: Lacking the confidence in a strategy to trade through all the losses and hang in until the wins came around. Instead, taking the losses and moving on to another strategy before winning at the first...and then losing at the second.
Mistake 3: Backtesting, but not comparing results to a baseline which meant thinking a strategy is hot when its not.
Mistake 4: Not backtesting entries and exits separately.
Mistake 5: Spending too much time doing my own back test.
The other deeper reason that I'm offering these reports to you is because I'm at a point in my life with free time, computer skills, and a thirst for knowledge that impels me to uncover the secrets of trading by backtesting. Sharing the results is my chance to give something back and at the same time, become a better trader myself.
Since I'm choosing BackTesting Report as my vehicle for self expression, I want it to be good and I'm not holding anything back. Some of my trader friends advised me not to publish the real strategies that I use, but I don't think that's fair.
Another question you might be asking yourself:
Do I need expensive tools like TradeStation® to benefit from BackTesting Report?
No, you don't need expensive tools, although you may choose to use them. All the runs were done on professional tools like TradeStation and StockFinder®, but the results are presented in easy-to-read graphs. They're delivered in PDF files, readable on most computers. Each report includes instructions for applying the strategies tested, often using tools freely available on the web.
One thing you might be wondering deep down:
Will BackTesting Report help me find the Holy Grail of trading?
I believe the Holy Grail is inside -- inside you that is! Backtesting Report gives you the behind-the-scenes data you need to either take confidence in your methods or find new ones. It helps you be informed to make the right decisions, whether it’s buying a stock, setting a stop loss, or taking profits.
A final question:
If everyone reads BackTesting Report and
knows which trading strategy is the best,
will it still work with everyone trading it?
The honest truth is that I don't really know. For that reason, I'm only offering BackTesting Report in limited edition packages. The current offers are subject to change at any time.
What?? Say that again...
That's right, these reports and software might not be available if you wait and come back tomorrow. Don't get left out when you need to get this information for your trading today!

You Can't Afford Not To Have BackTesting Report
Serious traders limit their risk. A reasonable estimate is 1% of account size risked per trade. For example, say you have a $25,000 account (and $25,000 is about the very minimum size to begin trading). If you risk 1% per trade, that's $250, considering risk as the dollar amount lost if your stop loss is hit.
Active Investors with risk control don't put more than 6% of their account in any one stock.
Think about how much you risk each time you jump into a stock. So if, even just once, BackTesting Report helps you avoid a loss, that's worth at least $250 and probably more for larger accounts and more active investors.
When you also consider the time and effort it would take you to meaningfully backtest your strategies, $250 seems like a bargain indeed.
But I'm prepared to make you a much better offer! With a regular price of $47 per research report, I think you'll agree that BackTesting Report is a sweet deal. And with the package prices, it just gets better:
