Subject: [amibroker] Swing Trading -
Strategy Performance
Would like to get a poll of sorts ... for
expected swing trading performance. Maybe there is some information that can
help everyone regardless of specific system used.
Primarily interested in the potential of a
system, any pitfalls / difficulties in implementing it after simulation
studies were completed...
What would make good statistical
info:
1. Backtest performance
2. Real performance / Any special considerations
in implementing
3. Money management - scaling in/out, stops, risk
level...
4. Any issues and concerns
My intent / desire is NOT to delve into
anyone's specific system as such, so if you feel it is
appropriate to describe your system, please keep it at a high
level.
I have toyed with several systems, including
Relative strength, combination of standard indicators (MACD, Stochastics and
CCI) with preliinary backtest results of 20% per year, +/- a little, but
have not really traded based on any system as such, certainly not with any
consistancy.... so no track record.
I have not succesfully integrated market
environment in backtests yet. My next step.
My hope is that I can make about 5% to 10% per
month using trades of 3 days to 2 weeks. I have been known to be too
optimistic ... at times ...
Appreciate any feedback
