A full back-test report — profit factor, net profit, drawdown, win rate and trade statistics — is included with your purchase. The test instrument is the S&P 500 index itself, so no commissions or slippage are modeled; trading a real vehicle (SPY, VOO, or an index fund) incurs normal transaction costs. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
The logic behind the edge.
The Long-Term Stock Trend strategy is built for retirement-style portfolios that want the long-term upside of the market without sitting through its worst drawdowns. By default it stays invested to capture extended bull trends; when its bear-market indicator triggers, it moves entirely to cash, then re-enters once the downturn has run its course. Trading only a couple of times a year, it is designed for ETF, index-fund and 401(k) accounts, and its simple variables can be pointed at the index of your choice.
- Stays invested in the broad market by default, riding long bull-market trends.
- Shifts entirely to cash when its bear-market indicator fires, side-stepping major drawdowns.
- Re-enters once the downtrend has run its course — typically only a couple of decisions a year.
Every strategy in the RelaxedTrader store is back-tested across a minimum of 10 years of historical market data before a line of code is sold. If it doesn't hold up under rigorous testing, it doesn't make it to the store. How transaction costs are treated in this particular back-test is spelled out in the performance note above.
You receive the complete, fully-annotated EasyLanguage source code — no black boxes, no compiled files. You can read every line, understand every decision, and modify it as your knowledge grows.
