Results from "weekly" system - Entry in May, exit in follwoing March. Universe of stocks was the ASX200 from 1998 to July 2005. System was developed on the ASX100 stocks, but appears to work on other stock universes. Drawdown is not brilliant at 15%, but for a lazy system it certainly shows promise. I used IO and AmiBroker to determine the system criteria as shown in the IO status "swarm" shown below.

I trade longer term mechanical trading systems exclusively on the ASX. I rarely look at daily charts and the systems are built using weekly timeframes. The information in this site is based on actual trades in real portfolios. I don't trade using margin or any sort of leverage. I mainly use Amibroker for system testing and trade monitoring. I am not selling anything. This is just a journal to record where I have been and, just maybe, where I am going.

THis IO test shows an optimization on, of all things, buy and sell months. The buy month selected is May and the sell month is the following march. A 42 week ROC above 36 is a selection criteria, along with turnover. Exit trigger is either the month of March, or ROC below -23. Not suggesting that this is tradeable, it's just inspired by Dogs Of the Dow type strategies.

MBL gave a "quick" 3 week trade for the super fund. Profit exits are pretty rare with this system. They trigger due to a rapid upward price move.

4 positions versus 10 positions
The 2 charts above are monte carlo simulations of a system that I have been working on. The 10 position position sizing gives better results in terms of drawdown than the the 4 positions only test.
