Backtesting: Mystical End Of Month
Author: vk
This strategy is based on the idea by Norman Fosback from the 1970's: the stock market is generally bullish at the beginning and end of each month. It buys X market days before the end of the month and sells Y market days after the start of the following month.
I publish it with the QLD, it works on mostly all US index ETFs. (that what I tested) Try it yourself. I usee 99% of the portfolio value.
While I was doing it, I discovered something really interesting...
I reduce the position size here on the website to 95%.
