I believe this will yield bogus results unless you set the minimum holding days to 1.

Tennek,
I like your new exit strategy. It has promise. Here are the results I found. They are percentage gain using the equity summary with money management set at 2 max trades per day/3 max held/2 max selected stocks

11-12: 68%
10-11: 53%
9-10: 309%
8-9: 350%
7-8: 132%
6-7: 11%
5-6: 86%
4-5: 173%
3-4: 580%
2-3: 497%

However, by taking out the 10% profit stop it did better in 7 out of 10 years including the 3 most recent years:

11-12: 121%
10-11: 156%
9-10: 404%
8-9: 113%
7-8: 62%
6-7: 21%
5-6: 111%
4-5: 187%
3-4: 544%
2-3: 1858%


Excellent system, but it still doesn't outperform the results for the system I posted earlier in this thread (however my earlier results were from backtesting two months off of this current backtest). My older system outperformed this one in 6 out of 10 years, and it was a significant difference in those years.

I do like the idea of exiting off of a descending RSI - I think there is some potential there.

Nice contribution!

TB

Tombrown - How big did the drawdowns get once you removed the 10% profit stop?

Thanks!

I didn't save the backtests so I would have to run them again. But honestly I don't see why people are concerned with drawdowns. Sure if you are trading your entire account on one stock using this method then drawdown might be a concern. But I'm trading no more than one sixth of my account in any one stock and the big losers are offset by the winners.

Money management-Even if you are only trading 1/6 of your account/trade (which is actually quite high) you will crash and burn with no stop loss.

A filter that wins 75% of time will lose 5 or 6 in row given enough trades. With no stop loss ,half your account can and will be wiped out during a losing streak and you will have a losing streak no matter how good your filter is.

Hello,

With that filter you can fall with the stock 40/50% until the day you sale it back.
And at next day you suddenly discover you're out with a profit of 15%.
And if you had a stoploss most cases you would lose.

Stoploss its not formula to win and A filter that wins 75% too because most of time is can make for you 1%-5% for most trades with bad performance.
And with filter that wins 48% most trade will give you 25-50% for 1/3 of your trade you will get out with more money then filter with 75% win.


Warm Regards,
LA

In 10 years this system has never had 6 50% losers in a row. Nothing even remotely resembling that. A stop loss however would kill you by a thousand paper cuts.

I pulled the trigger on OPHC, LEAP & EGLE when the filter (the one on top of page 8 I believe) returned these stocks on May 2nd.

Getting quite nervous with my holdings, but especialy OPHC even though I only used a third of my account to test this filter out.

To be continued....
