The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Can somebody figure out how to backtest this with GTR1?

gtr1 uses SIP fields, and so is not quite the same as the version using VL fields. But the SIP screen backtest has a slightly higher CAGR compared to the benchmarks, with about the same GSD.

gtr1.net: GTR1 Backtester - LargeCapCash_Div_20200524_mungofitch

step0: [Security Type; lag=1 days] == 0,10,11,12,18,30,31,48
step1: [Mkt Days Since Security Opened; lag=1 days] >= 1265
step2: [MktCap] Top 1700
step3: [Div] > 0
step4: [ROE] Top 30%
step5: [CashLessLTDebt] Top 45
step6: [CashLessLTDebt] Top 40; Cash When Fewer
Holding period = 42 mkt days
Hold while passing step5
Frictional loss of 0.4% applied to all sales (closing long/opening short)
Equally weight new positions, fully rebalancing all liquid positions to equal weight every 6 holding periods
