$50k by trade 100, tired after that. Some issues: If I could do this live for 11 years (i.e. corresponding to 100 * 40 days)? Probably not. Heck, just B&H last 11 years would do as well or better. My selection criteria are heavily overfit on low vol regime of US equity markets created by QE. Also, I wonder if the site owners are using the results of this as machine learning inputs.
I think I'm easily beating long only. In my previous test, it took 750 long-only trades to get to 5 million whereas with my "selective" long/short, it takes about 321 trades to get to 10. I'm almost tempted to develop a notebook for this for my own use.
if it's compounded then 60k/year is invalid... you don't get it in the initial years. so 85 years - NDX 12.5% annual - $222m SPY 9% annual - $15m Dalio bullet proof 6% - $1.4m bank cd 3% - $123k
at first I wrote down some 'conclusion' comments.... but we don't have the full picture here about something like survivorship bias...
I calculated 85 years but that's really 85 investment years for $10K. If you have $100K that gets reduced to 10 years because you can have more than one trade on at a time. Can't compound more than one QQQ at a time! There is a lot of hand waving in this which is why I simply try to beat long only in # of rounds, which I've done.
