How long is your average holding period Glen?
December 21, 2023 at 2:01 am #115920GlenPeakeParticipantHey Julian,
Average holding time is 2-3 days….. my exit is the same across all MR systems i.e. C > C[1]…

Launched my LeTour Swing System on the US markets this month. In a nutshell, the same approach as the ASX Swing System.
The story of the portfolio for the year was $AZS.au, without it, my yearly return is likely in the red.
Best returning stocks to be holding in the ASX for 2023 was:

December 30, 2023 at 3:33 am #115924TerryDunneParticipantOK, I think I’ve just seen the best 2023 performance of the Mentor group right there, congratulations!
Given my struggles with US MR, I look at your results with serious envy…without giving away your secret sauce, any suggestions for an Aussie battler?
Nice job Glen!
December 30, 2023 at 4:21 am #108667GlenPeakeParticipantThanks for the Congratz Terry, much appreciated….It’s been a tough 2 years for all us systematic traders.
In terms of MR systems and ‘secret sauce’….. I think the only secret sauce is the ability to ‘stomach’ some pretty long & extended drawdown periods and some ‘less then ideal’ Max Drawdown during some extended ‘out of sync’ periods with the market….. combined with the ability to stick with the system.
Nick was recently quoted in an article, where he mentioned:
“It takes a very special psychological fortitude to cope with a career where losing money is an integral part of success.”I like this quote….. and have concluded that, maybe I have some of that ‘special psychological fortitude’, combined with a bit of resilience…. or I’m just ‘concussed’ from the ‘face slaps’ the market dishes out from time to time.
Here are some other stats in terms of MAX drawdown for each MR system:
MaxDD experienced in Live Trading for each MR system. (Most systems exceeded the historical backtested MaxDD)…..additionally, the DD has occurred in the last 12-24months (where most systematic MR traders have also struggled….which in turn has validated that my systems aren’t necessarily broken if everyone is struggling etc)
MR#1 -41%
MR#2 -36%
MR#3 -45%
MR#4 -57%
MR#5 -67%So, some pretty big numbers there, which is not ideal….and a bumpy ride…etc….. and high amount of volatility….. But, it seems to work out OK in the long run…when the systems sync up with the market.
NOTE: MR#4 & MR#5…. they trade in the “ALL” stocks universe (small caps etc…which is an area of the market which has struggled considerably these past 2 years, which goes part of the way of explaining the deep drawdown) and I’ve only allocated a very small % of capital allocated to these 2 systems….so I can keep pulling the trigger as the DD only represents a very small % of total account etc….
If you want further details…. then just DM me on the RealTest forum @ “LeTourTrader” or via Twitter etc…
December 30, 2023 at 5:05 am #115925TerryDunneParticipantThanks for the explanation, which is interesting – and a little bit frightening!
I’ll reach out on RT!
December 30, 2023 at 3:46 pm #115926ScottMcNabMemberVery impressive to have that conviction/fortitude
January 4, 2024 at 10:01 am #108668ScottBiltonMemberProper nice return Glen! Sometimes all it takes is 1 trade in a trend following system. As Ed Seykota said “one good trend pays for them all”, them being all the previous losses taken.

$AZS left the portfolio on the back of the Scheme offer @ $3.70… have re-balanced these proceeds into the WTT positions…. so should start to see some movement in the % again…
https://x.com/LeTourTrader/status/1786336732314829068The ASX LSS system performance primarily came from the move in $CU6. Limited number of trades this month as the Index Filter has been RED
A nice catch on $VUL here:
https://x.com/LeTourTrader/status/1791683365382259033Similar story in US LSS system, Limited number of trades in the earlier part of month as Index Filter has been RED. Was up 2-3% a couple of days ago, but got caught in the sell down these past 2 days.
A nice analysis of my trade in $ARM here:
https://x.com/LeTourTrader/status/1795680525669282116A nice trade in $AMC
https://x.com/LeTourTrader/status/1790613496826306815MR system performance…. fairly consistent across the board. Traded $GME multiple times on the LONG side, for a NET Positive result.
The pick of the MR trades in $GME here:
