About this strategy

This is a low frequency, long/short, absolute return focused, systemic model that takes exposure to the China H Shares Index (HSCEI) via the MCH mini futures. Though highly complex in its development it is simple to follow in execution and management for live trading since it only trades at the open and/or close of the equity market and usually only a few times per week.

The maximum position size taken by the system is restricted to 9 lots which has a value of approx USD 110k. Therefore with the recommended minimum account size of USD 37k the system could trade with a maximum 3X leverage. Note that it doesn't often reach this maximum and over the long run the average leverage will be closer to 1.5 X.

Most metrics rate a straight line equity curve very favourably. My belief is that straight lines are likely to be masking hidden risk and the idea of a risky market paying someone in a straight line doesn't jibe with me philosophically. In contrast my proprietary performance metric, which is used in the final leg of the model building process, doesn't penalise volatility in the common Sharpe/Sortino manner. The outcome is a trading model that subjects its trader to a considerable amount of pain rather than attempting to avoid it. You should expect 30% drawdowns to occur.

Note there are no backtests available because any monkey can produce a straight line backtest.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
