EdgeWare FastBreak Standard Version 6.5 - Manual (Page 12)

ommend you keep the old version of FastBreak on your computer until you verify your
systems haven’t changed. Here are just a few reasons why strategies my give different
results with the new version:
 In previous versions of Standard FastBreak if a stop was hit, but the fund hitting the
stop was still the top ranked fund, the detail file would show the fund being sold and
then repurchased. New logic always checks to determine if the fund being purchased
was the one just sold. If that is the case the sell is negated.
 We removed the Adaptive Moving Average as a stop option. This was done because
we never found the AMA to be a particularly effective stop option and we wanted to
make room on the Stops tab for a much more effective new option called BOSS.
 Change in the logic for the Rate of Return Sell stop. We now check a candidate fund
prior to purchase for this stop to verify that it exceeds the stop parameters specified.
