Handle123, Angrytrader thank you for your comments. its all very useful.

That's a lot of positions. How many trades per day or week. Are trading costs a factor? yes, costs are a factor. if i could do this with bigger account, returns would improve for this reason alone, if nothing else. its hard for me to answer "how many trades" because what happens is that I...

Thank you, Mr Muppet. Thats one thing I wanted to know. If 20-30% is industry expectation then my current results, in the middle of a raging bull, are not necessarily some weird anomaly. I am a little less scared now. It also makes me wonder: if 20-30% is a quant industry standard then what...

> Then just go ahead and rake in the dough well, I am, for the moment. i came here to check my bearings because the temptation to go full hog (i.e levergae 5x) is huge (and scary). i want someone to please rain in on my parade-- but please with good criticism, not a remark that my mother...

Mr Muppet 1) thank you. makes me feel (for a moment) that maybe i have not gone completely gaga in my old age senility (58). you're the boss! can i send you my gf? she's cute :) 2) what i am reporting is not a backtest result. it is a trading result from april 2, 2021 through November 12...

> Longtrader I used to have high libido. then i discovered medication. :)

deaddog i cant say if my backtest had any negative months because i did not run it as a backtest of a portfolio (maybe i should, Im just a newbie, should i? i just assumed that if you get every trade right, then portfolio will follow?). so... i ran it as a backtest of so many trades, without...

traider it is entirely possible that i am not calculating Sharpe correctly. would you like to help me with that? is there some way we can text directly? also, i just learned there was something called Sortino. Not from qlaid (or whatever his handle sez), 'koz of course his job is to haze...

I dont know guys... I was NOT looking for sniping. I already know from my wife that i am mentally retarded, I hardly need you to help me with that insight. Does anyone have anything useful to say?

> You report that your average holding time is 13 days and you average 33 open positions, and trade long only. i am not very leveraged. in fact, most days i am not even 100% invested

This is a Grasshoper test, yes? Did you see the part where I showed how the program did during the recent correction? On another note... is it a test of a good trading program that the manager of the program is not allowed to read newspapers to learn about a rapidly spreading epidemic in China...

well, manual trader guys who have only ever worked for their own account just may not know the jargon im a pharmacologist by education and a advertising exec by experience. i am not a quant, or a mathematician, or a GS graduate. i have come here to learn something. do you want to help?

sorry. but true. i was not in the market from December 2007 until January 2009. i come from EM debt background, i am good at sitting on my hands. I also went to cash in January 2020 because I read Chinese and could see the news. if this is incredible, then I am really worried. if maximum...

Zortauk 1) you dont tell us much about what you do beyond "since covid" and "illiquid", so how can we to know? though, those two words may be your clue: liquidity in bullshit stocks really jumped after covid, yes? 2) your trading seems to be earnings related. there is a ORH ("outside...
