What

First and foremost, this is an unproven method of choosing when to enter and exit a position. Since back-testing is used to produce the models future results may not reflect or produce expected returns.

Unreliable Data From Yahoo.

I use Yahoo's financial quote server to get the historical data used for the models.    There are some very large gaps of data in the Yahoo database.  For instance take a look at the ETF EEM there is almost a month of data missing from the middle of Dec '13 through the middle of Jan '14.

I will not be posting updates until Yahoo has corrected its database or until I find a more reliable source of historical data.
