Very nice stats sbaxman! I try following - take only months with
positive return (close/close[22]>1) and with negative last
trading day (close/close[1]<1) I run this backtest on SPY since
inception (1995) and result is quite good.
Sorry Sbaxman - I didn't provide complete setup yesterday:
buy at close of the last day of the positive month
(close>close[22]) and today close<today open. Exit at the
close of next trading day. Average yearly return is
2.54% with only -2.79% draw down and only 2 years with
negative return (since 1995). Number of winners:77 average win:0.9%
max consecutive winner 13. Number of losers:22 average loss:-0.57%
max consecutive loser 3. If you interested I can send you
report for this setup in html.

One more improvement - witch nearly double all relevant parameters (profit factor, inverse drawdown...) - instead close/close[1]<1 I use close/open<1.
