Instrument Public Age Filter

 

 

This filter only exists as a Buy Filter. It allows you to select instruments which have been publicly traded within a certain period.

For example, stocks fresh out of the IPO tend to have a stronger rally and greater profit potential, not just because the hype surrounding the launch but also the growth spurt of a new company (but this isn't always the case). Older stocks on the other hand, have a consistent and more predictable performance for longer term trading.

This filter can't be applied if you have but one instrument in the strategy's Portfolio.
