Computational Notes

Here is an example of how the calculator works. Assume the return limit in percent is set at 100 for AAPL. This means the calculator will count all returns greater than or equal to 100 percent. Because AAPL prices begin in 1999, the calculator computes the returns for all possible buy and sell combinations from 1999 through the current month and year. It counts the number of returns that qualify (greater than or equal to 100%) and finally it computes the percentage of all returns that qualify for the period (total number of qualifying returns / total number of returns). It then does the same computations for the 1998 buy and sell combinations and continues doing these same computations year by year including the current year.
