 I just want to make sure I am understanding the performance test properly.
 I build filters to find me good 2-3 day Swing trades.
 
 I trade stocks with daily range over 2.5%.
 I typically set Stoploss at 1% - 2% but honesly, I wait to enter to limit my downside on given trade.
 
 IF I had stoploss of 1.5%;  I would have: Using 1 Day trade:
 
 For Next..Overall   Adv #	 Adv %   Dec # Dec %
 1 days	5.26%	30	12.34%	27	-2.41%
 2 days	3.14%	21	17.07%	35	-5.04%
 3 days	3.97%	24	17.66%	34	-5.69%
 4 days	2.92%	25	16.34%	33	-7.24%
 
 
 - 30 trades with 12.34% gains. (30 x 12%= 360% gains)
 - 27 trades with loss avg of 1.5% due to my Stoploss. (27 trades x 1.5% Loss due to stoploss - 41% Loss)
 
 So statistically,  My Filter is good.  I have 360/41= 8.8x Win ration on this filer  (Theoretically)
 
 Is this correct interpretation of the report?
 
 Below is the Filter:
 
 Show stocks where shares outstanding is below 20%
 and close is between 2 and 50
 Average Day Range(5) Above 2.5%
 volume is above 100000
 Close above EMA(18)
 Close above EMA(9)
 
 Sort Column 5 descending
 add column RSI(2)
 add column RSI(14)
 add column Momentum(12)
 
 
 
 Momentum(12) above Momentum(12) 2 day ago
 RSI(14) above RSI(14) 1 day ago
 MACD Histogram(12,26,9) above MACD Histogram(12,26,9) 1 day ago
 
 draw MACD Histogram(12,26,9)
 draw RSI(2)
 draw RSI(14)
 draw Momentum(12)
