Basic Rotational Assistance. Back testing and ranking.

[AlexStylianou]

Hi all, 

Have very basic questions but it would mean a lot. 

Am about to start to build a basic Rotational system before I start the mentoring so I can utilise the 6 months for more difficult questions. (took a break)

Monte Carlo is not used for Rotational as we are ranking. Should I only focus on Walkforward and backtest? Not sure why my optimze is not working either. I put Index Symbol”,”$S&P 500 in the code then I put SPX or S&P 500 in the parameters and it won’t let me optimize. I tried both just in case it was one or the other. Backtest seems fine. I did click Pad and Align in the Analysis settings as I know this is for Rotational. 

Lastly in a rotational system we rank the weakest or strongest. In the Monthly template, where is this ranking part? I am confused on how we rank in general. 

-Alex.

Hi Alex,

I think the code that you are looking for for the index is $SPX.

In the monthly template your “rank” is currently the first line in the entry and exit section. The rank is how you define the strongest stocks.

I am trying to work on a rotational system at the moment too (just very time poor).

Can’t help you with the rest sorry.

Thanks Ben Appreciate it. Will have a try again tomorrow.
