Hi DrBob,

This is very interesting, and there are some details I wanted to clarify:

(1) What do you do if you stop-gain out of a stock, but it remains on the screen the next month? Do you reinvest in it, or keep it in the "stopped out" pile until something else replaces it?

(2) Did you backtest this on GTR1, and if so, how did you do so (or if anyone else can help me do this on GTR1, I'd love to try).

(3) Is there a "mound of toast" involved? Did you seek out which stop-gain level maximized returns or minimized drawdowns or any other interesting metric to optimize.

There are a few screens I would like to try this with, to see if they might add some value.

Thanks, Gabriel
