Working system averaging 10 percent per month

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by EvelKnievel, Feb 24, 2009.

  1. So I know people with actual accounts that have been averaging 10 percent returns per month after performance fees and commissions with an automated trading system that is working. You can see it in action. You can get actual records. This isn't a scam because it is a managed account with limited trading access only. It looks to have minimal DD and crazy returns. I was hoping there were some Elite Traders who might want to take a closer look...but I guess they think I am pulling their leg. Not sure what to say, guess I'll look elsewhere.

  2. You know people? WTF do you need us? Give your friends some capital to piggyback on their accounts. Problem solved.

  3. Just thought maybe someone familiar with automated trading might be able to duplicate this thing and do some tests...not sure what I was thinking. F me :)

  4. Under some constraints and with some informations some things can be done.
    Suppose you can get the equity curve and you know they only trade Forex then I think you could replicate their strategy if it's not high frequency trading. Hedge fund indices can be replicated in some ways and I think it would be possible to do the same. I can be wrong on that.
    If you have acces to the actual trades then it would be more easyer to try to get the actual parameters used in the model.
    But all that would require a fat amount of coding and a shit load of processing time. Not an easy task, if feasible.

  5. Umm, proof? You willl reimburse the person all these "performance fees" if it blows up? People should sign up with an anonymous thread starter?

  6. Proof, of course there is proof. Re-imbursement if it blows up? Possibly, we could ask - it is a hedging strategy that is designed to protect capital...it just happens to make money. It appears to me unlikely to blow up but someone better able to determine this might need to look at it closer. Anonymous? Looks to me like everyone on this forum is anonymous, sorry I am new. Don't hate the guy that just wants to see what the automated trading people think about an automated trading program that appears to be working well - guess I need to realize I am dealing with the typical IT type here. Feel free to flame.

  7. Go straight to the gravy: where to find info about your system/etc? R U from poland?

    why you use a word when you address drawdown, but numbers when it comes to the reward. you are precise on one side (the hook), and not precise on the other.

    PS: my advice to you is just to be straight with the guys here. they will cut in pieces very fast. You ain't seen them angry, or have not taken the other side of their trades. people in here live on the pockets of others, keep that in mind.

  8. Got to love how many of you speak like you are the voice of reason, the ultimate experience.

    Provided infinite liquidity it's very possible, what is not possible is infinite liquidity.

  9. Hedging strategy? Let me guess, one of those hedging systems in which you're simultaneously long and short the same underlying, correct? If not that, then it's likely some sort of mean-reversion method.

    In any event, you're taking "hedging" out of context. If I sell futures against my long index deltas, it's a hedge... if I sell futures as a speculation, it's not a hedge. If it's a simultaneous long/short Euro system then the developers should be euthanized.

  10. You all know more than me that is why I am here. The strategy does involve going long and short and then somehow cost averaging the bad side. I appreciate the last comment because I am simply trying to find out what they aren't telling me about this system, but they act like there is minimal risk so I'd still love someone to help me expose or duplicate this thing.
