Crunching the numbers with the setting sun

We could be watching the beautiful summer sunset on the Great Lakes or we could be running some quantitative tests. But then again, who says we can’t be doing both?

See yet another confirmation that our claims about

  • our methodology,

  • the way we engage with the markets,

  • the way we identify exploitable patterns in crowd behaviour

are backed by rock-solid data. So why not stop and have a real good look at the numbers below?

Backtesting/optimization, US index futures, 4.5 years of data, 13,000+ trades, commissions included

Highlights:

  • 4.5 years, 13,000+ trades: meaningful sample size

  • commissions included

  • market orders means some slippage has been included

  • accuracy above 60% for all four markets (!)

  • managable drawdown

  • profit factor firmly above 1.00 on all four markets

  • max. consecutive losers: 12 (a mathematical reality we looked at so many times on these pages)
