    IWM 6.51%
    XLU 0.91%
    Difference -5.60%
    Cumulative -5.60%

    Part 2, with Billy's pivot help:
    IWM -2.21%
    XLK 0.00% (i.e. the trade never hit the stop loss and remained active)
    Difference 2.21%
    Cumulative -3.39%

    Part 3, with Billy's pivot help:
    IWM -1.79%
    XLK 1.31%
    Difference 3.10%
    Cumulative -0.29%

    Part 4, with Billy's pivot help:
    IWM -2.11%
    XLK 0.00% (i.e. the trade never hit the stop loss and remained active)
    Difference 2.11%
    Cumulative 1.82%

    Part 5, with Billy's pivot help:
    IWM -2.39%
    XLK -2.00%
    Difference 0.39%
    Cumulative 2.21%

    Part 6, with Billy's pivot help:
    IWM -2.93%
    XLK -0.20%
    Difference 2.73%
    Cumulative 4.94%

    Pivot only cumulative (Part 2-5) 10.54%

    The cumulative difference of all trades is now 4.94% in favor of sector selection.

    The cumulative difference of all pivot trades (2-6) is now 10.54% in favor of sector selection.

    The difference is starting to become statistically significant -- but this was in a-typical Robot conditions (i.e. a drawdown). We still need to see how it performs in typical conditions, and in short positions as well.
