Our trading with C51 has finished

4 months ago, we published this article. Using our system, C51, we scored some shares in the Nasdaq to create a long-short bet equally weighted. Just to remember:

* LONG: USMO, ARLP, RGLD, CELL
* SHORT: UVSP, PACR, ASBC, ISIS

We close the trades today, after 4 months. Let's see how we have done:

Long leg: +5.1%
Short leg: +1.1% (despite ISIS soaring)

So, total +6.2% in just 4 months. Some of you may wonder why 4 months. After some testing, we have decided that after 4 months, the movement based on weekly and daily data can develop almost completely. Pure stats. Of course, there are better ways of exiting our positions, but sometimes simplicity is really worth it.
