A couple of days back, I demonstrated the outcome on 10 Stocks (all ASX200 stocks) where a buy and hold strategy took place and then compared this approach against applying stop-losses. A quick recap: The buy and hold strategy resulted just on 11% in losses compared to the stop-loss approach which resulted in 7% in gains (excluding any franking credits and dividends).

This week I want to go one step further and apply Market Timing in addition to stop-losses. Market Timing is the key! The best way for me to relay the updated BackTesting applying further money management rules is via a video.

In the video I go through:

* The 10 stock list that applied a buy and hold strategy per last week
* BackTesting using stop-losses and no Market Timing per last week
* BackTesting using different Market Timing and risk money management rules for 3 different BackTests

In summary, the results ended up as follows:

* -10.84% for the buy, hold approach. No Market Timing and no risk money management
* 7.30% for the 10 stocks purchased where just stop-losses are used
* 18.49% applying stop-losses and the Confirmed Calls. Long only strategy.
* 18.92% applying stop-losses and the Primary Wave. Long only strategy.
* 36.72% applying stop-losses and a RT Kicker Combo. Long and Shorting strategy applied.

The highest performing BackTest entailed a very interesting finding for the 10 stocks looked at. I won’t spoil the surprise, have a look at the video to find out more!
