Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Hi S. Interesting points. I need to be clear in that I am referring to random entries with diversified trend following systems. If you refer back to this post you will see how diversification tends to dampen the impact of whipsaws through ...

Hear hear Mr Speaker. Been there and done that. Lost lots of weight though when deep in drawdown land so there was some good to it. My wife would disagree of course :-)

Hehehe. That's what I like to see. Spirit and determination. I used to be a Martingale addict.....in fact I am not sure I have fully recovered. I now have to dabble with boring stuff here in purgatory.

Hi D Definitely mate. The examples of random entries in diversified trend following programs are simply used to indicate that the entry is far less important than the exit with these styles....but it does not conclude that some form of filter might ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

I must admit I am a big fan of volatility based trailing and position sizing methods. With divergent market conditions when the ***** hits the fan, things move very fast and furious. Volatility based methods really assist risk management in ...

Hi tzamo. I hope all is well mate :-) There is another Blog post of his which looks deeper into this mystery. In this post he compared random entries with trailing stops, random entries with random exits, random entries with profit targets, MA ...

Hi AM. Great to hear from you. :-) I have had a bit of luck finding diversified solutions in FX using a vast array of divergent systems that seldom trade individually and restrict opportunities to 'extreme' price moves. Here is an EA example that is ...

Here is a 21 year test undertaken by Jez Liberty on a portfolio of currencies and futures using a random entry condition of flipping a coin for short or long with a trailing stop condition and occasional re-balancing. Pretty good overall results. ...

50% win ratio, 1:1 sl tp, and random entries

You can be a trend trader but not a diversified trend trader. For example you can trade a single market with a trend following system that cuts losses short and lets profits run....but you are unlikely to achieve long term success as the trending ...

You caught me on a bad day. I like big words :-)

50% win ratio, 1:1 sl tp, and random entries

Yes I was quite surprised considering your average loss was -$4.31 with an average win of $1.86 which is negative skew. Your floating P/L at -$5,223.20 represents a current drawdown of 5.10% on your equity which is not represented in your equity ...

Interesting approach S. Provided that you can manage risk, preserve your capital and can tolerate long-winded drawdowns then you can stay in the game a very long time with methods such as these and slowly build the bank. :-)
