This the count of trades and whipsaws of each backtest.
Trades is the number of buys plus sells.
A whipsaw is when the next week after a sell signal is a buy signal.

GTT has the effect of staying IN more of the time and greatly reducing the number of trades. As you would expect with a system which sometimes disallows a sell signal.
