This is the first professional "Open Source" strategy available on internet i guess. ! (Note : Softwares like Linux and Android are Open Source...free to the world)
In an efficient market (like the US equities one) the best that any systematic strategy hopes to achieve is 50% success rate. I can suggest a simpler one that can compete with any other strategy out in the open: -Flip a coin - heads, go long - tails, go short
Good one, But I'm being serious, back in the day (decades ago) I wrote a market simulator using GBM and prevalent realized volatility values to simulate 1 minute intraday moves. Then I applied my complex algorithm (coin toss) with a few more parameters (like closing and stop criteria) and I watched my system achieve returns in excess of 40% some simulated days, other days I got like 120% return! Of course over a full 1000 simulated days run, I was at break even But I always wondered if you could do something like that, get a few series of winners and then retire
Any industry needs continuous research for a sustained growth. So is intraday trading. My current study says : 1. Morning session in intraday is defining moments 2. Multi-sector Index is comparably more predictable 3. Entering within initial volatility and within 40 minutes is safest bet 4. Open target is more effective 5. Filtering intraday noises is essential Thats why i say this strategy is probably the best of its class!
Just do basic back testing and/or simulation, and I'm pretty sure that in a sufficient long period this thing will give you 50% success rate like any all of the other systematic approaches out there. There is no edge in price prediction, it is a sad but true reality of efficient markets
This is not a plain systematic approach. There is some intuition, insights, research and common sense blended in this strategy.
