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.
