The Next Candidate For My Portfolio

May 29, 2024

This week we’re talking about a new portfolio I want to take live.

I want something that doesn’t daytrade and can be left in the market for years to come.

The idea is that this portfolio is like an index fund, only exponentially better.

In the last Newsletter, we looked at the first candidate, and it was a breakout system on the Nasdaq E-Mini. Today, we’ll look at its friend, the S&P 500 E-Mini.

While logic would dictate that these two are identical and it would be stupid to put two correlated systems in one portfolio, I’ve found that the NQ and the ES are not that identical. They can look quite different sometimes.

So let’s take a look at the ES version.

Here are the details:

30M S&P 500 E-Mini Band Breakout (ES.D)

• Long Only Entry: When price closes above the Upper Band (Length 100, st dev 1.1), enter at Open of next bar.
• Target: $1000 per contract
• Stop: $700 per contract

We can already see huge differences. The ES version has way more trades because the standard deviation is much lower and the targets are very different.

Here are a bunch of recent trades:

And the Curve on a sample $20k account:

It’s definitely not as good as the Nasdaq system but they might work well together.

In our next Newsletter, we’ll add two more candidates and see how the whole portfolio stacks up.

Talk to you soon.
