Monday's Outcomes

I made five trades, all of them shares in small lots.

The tables below reflect a split in my Stochastic-RSI tactic. I was looking only at those around the low 20-line of the indicator (abbreviated as "rsi-20" in the tactic column). I'll now be looking at those near the high 80 line (abreviated rsi-80).

The idea behind the change is the observation that when the indicator goes high, it often stays there for awhile, with the price rising while the indicator is high.

I entered three positions:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
ICFI	5	10/3/2016		44.61						rsi-20
ITRI	4	10/3/2016		56.01						rsi-20
KS	10	10/3/2016		19.12						rsi-20

I exited two positions:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
COLB	6	9/30/2016	10/3/2016	32.53	32.41	-0.12	-0.37%	-45%	3	rsi-20
MOMO	9	9/20/2016	10/3/2016	23.14	22.03	-1.11	-5.04%	-141%	13	rsi-20
