Can't really help with back testing as it's not my expertise. However there are things and pitfalls to look out for such as splits, mergers, take overs, bankruptcies and de-listings that may or may not be included that could skew your results in your favor especially if any de-listed bankrupt companies are not included in the back test results. I have struggled to look up stocks that have been de-listed as google or any other searches are very limited and only shows up currently trading stocks or stocks that are gone more recently. A good resource I found to look up stocks that have lost all shareholder money due to going bankrupt is by searching on website:https://www.delisted.com.auHowever your results mentioned earlier is interesting to me. I actually find it difficult to find small cap gems in recent years compared to say 15 to 20 years ago.We ASF'ers post potential breakouts and breakouts in the following threads regularly and I believe they can be traded with a profitable edge in the exact way you have described with proper discipline. That is by trend following winners with a trailing stop and cut the ones that fall back without excuses...Potential Breakout Alerts!Outstanding Breakout Alerts!I think the stocks we generally cover on these threads have the qualities that could be suitable to trend trading as there is usually good liquidity and good price action. We should take care to post only quality charts and leave out any illiquid choppy stocks and penny barcode stocks such as these...[ATTACH=full]128911[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]128912[/ATTACH]I also post a majority small cap portfolio based on company research and discretionary stock analysis in the Speculative Stock Portfoliowhich unfortunately cannot be back-tested as it's not based on breakouts or any other technical signal.
