2016-11-07 to 2026-11-06, 100,000 DKK to 265,968 DKK, after 84,117 DKK in trading costs. On average 10.0 stocks held; the portfolio is turned over 43.2 times a year.
How it works
Every week, keep liquid stocks above their 200-day moving average, and buy the ten with the lowest 14-day RSI, the most oversold.
The idea
Short-term moves tend to partly reverse, and buying dips within an uptrend avoids catching falling knives in stocks that are breaking down. Weekly trading makes costs matter more.
