    hey, I'm wondering... the charts and performance data you are showing. Is that your whole IB account? or just your systematic strategies? because you are saying profits from stocks & hedges....
    nice job anyway and gl in the markets

    ok, thanks. but there's no long-only equities exposure in it? I remember you said somewhere that is hedged out.

  4. Yes it's hedged out, but no hedge is perfect.

    Thx. Have you checked your correlation to the MSCI world or some kind of global equities portfolio...?

    If it's low. How can I invest in you ?

  6. Yes it's low (about 0.1)

    I don't accept outside investment.

  7. What do you suspect this system is doing...numbers look pretty good.

  8. Pick your favourite answer;

    - I have no idea based on the information available
    - There is insufficient history to say whether it is any good or not
    - performance is hypothetical not real
    - the numbers I can see indicate this is probably a strategy with a large amount of hidden risk ('negative gamma')

    It looks like a mean reversion system. Lots of small wins and a few very large losses. I've seen lots of stochastic/RSI/oscillator/BBand overbought/oversold systems with stats like this in rangebound markets, then the equity curve falls off a cliff in a strong trend.

  10. yep.. I've been running tests on multi year data.. even when things look good not many can withstand the drawdowns of some systems that show promise. I have strong belief that algorithmic trading is changing the long term behavior of markets.
