Can I use Pikker for Mutual Funds?
Yes! Any type of security for which you can obtain end-of-day (EOD) data will work in Pikker. When we refer to “securities”, this includes any stocks, mutual funds, indices, ETFs, or any other financial instrument that is traded on the open markets, and for which you can obtain pricing data. You could even load futures, commodities, or options data, although using this type of data with conventional indicators would be rather tricky. One of the more successful strategies for working with mutual fund data is to load a family of funds representing a variety of market sectors. You can easily create a system to follow the “Sector Rotation,” by always being in the top sector fund (or funds) according to some indicator.
