Yes, but does it hold up?

Recent weeks have been anything but usual on the markets with big drops and big come-backs. So you may be wondering, how does our methodology, our observations of crowd behaviour hold up?

Well, not bad at all, not bad at all. Just as a rough test, we ran the algo - indiscriminately, takingevery signal over with market orders over 4.5 months - 24/7 with two contracts (one with a target, the other with a trailing stop, default settings, same as in many other tests we have published). See the results below.

Bottom line, you want to trade with a methodology that is robust. Robust meaning, it performs well in good times, and not break down in bad times, bull markets or bear markets or sideways markets, or anything in between.

See the results below, they speak for themselves. Our method is rock solid. Make it your own and put it to good use!

Ants vs humans

While the world is contemplating the actions of golfers and penguins, here’s another fascinating example of crowd behaviour.

We’ll leave the deep work to the scientists, the point for us is: crowd behaviour generates patterns that can be described with mathematics, and based on which projections can be formulated. Same with crowds on financial markets, and this is what our trading algorithms are based on.
