Omitted Strategies (Repost)

I have spent part of the last couple of weeks looking at the behavior of ALL the strategies being run simultaneously, and performance peaks when we have fewer than all the strategies in play.  The impact is that if we take recent history (last 3 months as a proxy example), and scan for every equity peak within the last 3 months using all combinations of strategies, some strategies perform poorly in the last 3 months OR too much money is deployed, preventing better trades (in hindsight) from being taken.  

Much of this seems to be market conditions -- if we are in a solid uptrend we are okay; if we are horizontal the strategies experience major losses.

Given this, the best performing strategies over the past three months are the following:
  • 3d High Low
  • %B
  • RSI 25
  • MDD
  • R3
Hence, the system is currently using these 5 strategies as the go-forward scan; TPS and RSI 10/6 are both omitted.

I will continue to use these 5 positions until the account becomes flat.

1-Year Rolling Performance

Historical, rolling, annualized 3-month performance from the 3-month backscan is as follows.  The numbers will be different than previous blog entries because this is a ROLLING snapshot -- the period shown below is 12/23/2016 to 3/22/2017.  This 3-month lookback is a change from previous reporting and I am changing the process to be more accurate of "strategies in play".  Roughly multiply the values by 4 to get an annual value (dollars and trades only; the other percentage metrics are accurate for the time period and need no multiplication).
