This week we’ve looked at two strategies that have shown good testing going back to the 1980s.
Does that matter?
That depends on the trader.
But remember, the reason that index funders are so blindly loyal is because the data they’ve seen goes back many decades.
We can take the same mentality and put it into our system trading.
If our testing goes back forty years, we can feel confident during the drawdowns.
In our first two Newsletters, we looked at Daily systems on Sugar (SB) and Orange Juice (OJ). Why those? Because only a handful of instruments have data going back that far.
Today, we’re going to put those two together.
But we’re going to add one more.
We’re going to add the 120-minute Gold strategy we talked about recently.
Two is fine for a portfolio, but my testing has shown that three is an excellent base number. Two is okay. Three seems to be a lot better in many cases.
And we’ll only go back to the early 2000s because that data is more reliable and also because Gold only goes back that far.
Here’s the portfolio of 3 using Portfolio Architect on a sample $20k account since 2001:
It shows a 1200% gain, which beats the market by a very wide margin.
Here are the Annual Returns:
A few small losing years, but an index fund would do worse.
Last, here’s the Report:
Even with costs built-in, we see a nice profit factor and profit amount. The win rate is not very high, but that’s what trend following produces.
All in all, it’s a combination that could hypothetically destroy the market and it has data going back multiple decades.
Talk to you soon.
