What are all the published trading strategies out there? For example, turtle trading rules. Welcome to share in this post if you know any of these strategies even if you have no idea about it works or not.
We can never know the results of a strategy without an audit for several years. In the absence of that, all we can do is think for ourselves if the principles behind it make any sense. http://www.jltrader.com/strategy/
It's not "published" per se, but Jack Hershey lost 30% in the first week of a trading competition on usenet. Does that count? I think he spoke a bit about the workings.
A trader who follows strategies needs at least three to be effective and efficient. 1 intraday strategy (SCT) to take full offer of leveraged trading at market capacity. Excess capital above capacity is swept weekly to 2. (performance is doubling every 1 to 3 days of RTH.) 2. Position trading (PVT) high EPS and RS stocks at a stream capacity of 100K shares per stream of 12 streams. (doubling of capital is 7 trades of 4 to 8 days duration each). 4 streams are added to until 12 streams are reached, the sweeping is done weekly into item 3. 3. stock Sector Rotation (SSR) Where sector leaders are tracked and laggers are traded where a cycle is 4 1/2 weeks. Approximately 179 sectors are monitored to assess the rising and falling sectors. Rising sectors are the focus near the top sectors. There is no upper limit of capacity in this strategy. Most top sector performance is 250 % per year for at least a three year interval. (see top 15 in IBD) Trading strategies are only one half of the trading partnership; the market half. Potential traders cannot affect any strategies in the first place if they are ignorant , unskilled and have no viable experience. Three stages of effort have to be accomplished to become knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced. 1. A person has to know how to learn. Not knowing how to learn prevents a person from building his inference, the major resource used in perception. 2. a person has to know how the mind works. The spectrum of knowledge is assembled from conscious and unconscious perception being merged during sleep. Extraneous beliefs and myths totally stunt this merger process in an irreversible manner. 3. a person has to follow a set of organized drills to gain experience in the system of operation of the markets. This drilling is the learning process to build the spectrum of the mind. Anyone interested in all of the above spends a lot of time reading what other post. Thus, the above becomes a way to winnow out the chaff from the salient. It is easy to judge a poster's knowledge and skills and just where he is blocked in the learning, the building the mind and understanding the system of operation of the markets. Most people resemble a carpenter's apprentice who keeps repeating learning the first year of apprenticeship over and over. anyone has the opportunity to trade. almost no one learns, builds their minds or figures out how the market operates. Kantor, the former politition (sp), has just joined the FI's ranks. Lets watch his learning, mind building and experience. Obviously he will make money but not by trading.
What was published was the net loss at the end of the competition (many weeks duration). There were thirteen participants and all quit early on. There was no way to withdraw for anyone under the limited rules of trading. As may be read from the cited poster; he does not have his facts straight as compared to the actual record. His post is a myth at this point.
