Yeah i got a few ASX stocks, nothing like that though! Good work, would have been nice. That was tested on the R1000

Did anyone trading a MR in the US manage to catch the massive jump in oil stocks last month? All my systems show a 30%+ gain in one day..

Merry Christmas everyone, have a profitable and trending new year.

I was beginning to worry there was something wrong with me but I checked and I have PRU too. I’m happy now

Really didn’t need it when i’m already in one of, if not the worst DD of testing/trading. Will see what happens lol

Don’t think that’s right i just ran a test on 2015. I had 278 trades with max 20 positions

AB exposure = 7.59%

Your formula = 5.56%

So i don’t know..

I had one trade today, ran a backtest today with 20 pos at 5%

Exposure = 2.54%

20 pos at 10%

exposure = 5.1%

[TrentRothall]

Exposure confuses me…

It isn’t as simple as 17% of the time you have a position on is it?

or is it

on average 17% of your capital will be invested at any one time?

Anyone else holding DCN.asx? currently in a halt

Didn’t end well,was holding a position in both portfolios and was up around 15% so it was looking good, just what i need on my way out of DD. Then after the halt was lifted ended up around a 13% loss, when it gapped below my sell LMT order and i had to sell at market!

Could’ve been worse i guess…

[TrentRothall]

If you are only ave 5 or so trades by the looks, wouldn’t you be better off relaxing the parameters to increase frequency? Sure you might miss some but you might be better off??

[TrentRothall]

Another easy way would just be on a vps like a lot of us are doing anyway

[TrentRothall]

Another way of trading the MOC you be to use 4:1 leverage in the way Brent explained else where. Eg allocate say 25k to be used for the MOC but trade it as though it’s 100k (total for 20 pos) that way you will always be involved in the market.

You would have to calculate total risk based on the allocated $$ for those two systems.

Everyday of the week.

All the mums and dads would be dumping it on the open. Big opening gap followed by 12.3% rally.. heard it here first… lol

[TrentRothall]

I’m not trading a MOC system Brent but have had similar situations occur on the ASX. Price has traded at or below my limit order but there isn’t enough liquidity to get a fill.Only happened a few times and had little effect. I find more often that i get a fill in iB where price trades exactly at my LMT but it doessn’t show in AB because the data hasn’t shown the price at that level. They often end up being good trades

[TrentRothall]

oooo that is a shocker, wouldn’t be real nice with 4:1 leverage. These things happen though…

[TrentRothall]

Would you be able to test this though?
