RSI(2) has tested well for me on Portfolio123.com weekly rebalancing (using opening prices following the weekend)... For example, using the DJIA stocks gives a CAGR of 21.6% from 1999 to today, versus 6.1% for B&H on SPY. Average holding is 3.7 stocks with 64% turnover. The only rules I used...

Have you looked at AAII's Stock Investor Pro database? It has a lot of data you can play with. For more advanced and point-in-time screening and backtesting, I'd recommend Portfolio123.com.

Why reinvent the wheel? It's in the free TA-Lib EXCEL add-in: http://ta-lib.org/index.html Just download the ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip file from their site and look for the XLL file in the EXCEL directory of the ZIP file.

Do you use add-ons with FireFox? There have been a few complaints about CPU bumps from people using the Folders4Gmail GreaseMonkey script. For example: "I have tried the new version now on two different computers. Both are Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.5, Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1. In both...
