Long RXT @2.396-oversold

This one is one I'm excited about after crunching the numbers. I haven't traded it before but it has produced some eye watering paper numbers in backtesting.

Usual setup - oversold and keep adding until it isn't. Sell each lot as it becomes both overbought and profitable.

Here are the numbers from the last year:

28-3* (the 3 are from the last 3 trading days that are still open)

AVERAGE return per lot: +12.7%
MEDIAN return per lot: +11.1%
Total 12M return: 3.94x lot size

Max lots held at any point: 5
Avg. hold period per lot: 9.4 trading days
Median hold (half the time it's less than this): 6 trading days

This is the one that is mind boggling...% return/lot/day held: +1.34%

That number is a HUGE number. Most GOOD ones are between .5% and .9%

That's every dollar traded making an average of 1.3% per day. That's the average from all 31 trades, including the 3 that are underwater at this point.

BTW, The blue line on the chart represents an average gain from the initial trade level. I'll keep posting updates as I add to the position or sell.

As always, if you trade on my ideas, that's on you. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

TBH, the entire position should have been closed at 2.40 on Aug 13th (I did that for real). Since I messed up here and didn't report that, I'll play it like I still have the 2.396 and the 2.2991 lot and I'll add one to that at 2.11. Sorry gang, I don't know what I was thinking. If history is any indication, it'll work out anyway.
Trade closed manually
oversold, so I would have closed the last 3 lots today. gains of 5.6%, 10.0% and 19.9% for each.
