Report:

So this trend is obviously not a winner.It shows that over the time frame selected, the results are negative. Even though the previous trend for all of the selected stocks is up over all three time periods, there is no guarantee that money will be made.  Additioanlly, it can be seen that the changing of percentages ranging from 1% to 10% has little or no impact on teh average return, minimum or maximu returns and end % gain/loss.

Overall, we have successfully discovered a way not to make money on the stock market.
