What do you do if you stop-gain out of a stock, but it remains on the screen the next month?

For this test I just took the list of tickers every four weeks, so if a stock was still on the list it was "reused".

Did you backtest this on GTR1

No, I'm not any good with GTR1, so it was done by hand.

Is there a "mound of toast" involved?

Since it was done by hand, I only tested the one (relatively low) profit latch. Consider it a proof of concept or extension of concept, if you will.
