Some stocks and funds are coded NLT=No Longer Traded or IND-TBD on the performances summary tables. This happens when companies merge and/or go out of business. The report card and historical record do not adjust performance based on changes in stocks and funds tracked. It reflects actual signals at the time they were made. Sometimes symbols become inactive for a period and then are allowed to resume trading. If the company or fund discontinues operations, it will be replaced. A buy/sell or sell/buy signal is immediately triggered when a new security is added to the tracking list. That is why you see some signaling that appear out of model. This is necessary to maintain historical performance and report card integrity.
