Is there a book or place where I can find every known strategy?

I want to backtest experiment many different types of trading strategies, new or old. Any place or book i can find such information?

 

Prolly The Library of Congress.

Got, at least, the next 50 years to waste?

 

There is no book that gives all the thousand strategies.

I asked Chatgpt to give me at least a thousand strategies.
It gives me 195 strategies.

You can go buy all the trading books from Amazon.com and
read the books from the Library of Congress.
There are about a thousand new and old trading books.


99% of the trading Books are written by professional writers.
You should be asking where are the books written by professional
traders.

Good Luck with back testing.

 

You don't need books for this. Thought about asking AI?

 

This one was the most comprehensive I read:

Trading Systems and Methods (Wiley Trading) 6th Edition
by Perry J. Kaufman

https://a.co/d/b8YbnEP

 

it's too generative and derives it's self from current trading strategies that are all too over used

 

In these books there are complete codes in Easylanguage of various Trading Systems and they also teach how to create, optimize and test Trading Systems:



- The Ultimate Trading Guide (John R. Hill, George Pruitt, Lundy Hill)

- Trading Systems that Work (Thomas Stridsman)

- Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation (1st and 2nd edition) - (George Pruitt, John R. Hill)

- Trading System and Methods (Perry Kaufman)

- Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures (John Ehlers)

- Trading Systems - A New Approach To System Development (Urban Jaekle and Emilio Tomasini)

- Trend Following Systems (George Pruitt)

- Trading Systems, Secrets of the Masters (Joe Krutsinger)

- Rocket Science for Traders (John Ehlers)

- Beating the Financial Futures Market (Art Collins)

- Design, Testing, and Optimization of Trading Systems (Robert Pardo)

 

I agree with you 100 percent. Many make the mistake of trying to find knowledge in such books. But in the end, after six months - 2 years, there is theory, but no practice.

 

Surely there are only two strategies? -
buy because price has been rising
and
buy because price has been falling.
