    I built an excel spreadsheet that has certain macros for the backtest. The output comes on in the cells. It took a lot of work but i think its better than the other ones since its dynamic. I can backtest any set of return streams (up to 6) in less than 2 minutes of inserting the returns in the sheet

    I was underweight BRL vs my ideal basket allocation due the uncertainties involving the election (an effective short). I'm likely to close it today because of the stabbing of one of the leading candidates, Bolsonaro. Now I think that he will either win the election or he will die (and other...

    Tks, he is correct. Dalio loaded in stuff like TLT in his retail all-weather to try to mimic leverage. I dont to a lot of reading on AA these days because I find most articles quite bad. Most use that portfolio analyzer website to backtest things but that only goes back to 1970. This creates a...

    I found his returns in this paper http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.611.5044&rep=rep1&type=pdf and decided to have a little fun calculating his trading statistics. These are all monthly inflation adjusted returns since 1990 Now wonder he was called "the jewish T-Bill"...

    Yes. I learned about it from that book. Tony says Dalio gave him that allocation after he insisted, its like a retail version of the All-Weather stuff. That allocation also is quite similar to the best ones (in terms of risk adjusted returns) from my backtests. I consider that my benchmark, I...

    Ray Dalio's portfolio YTD return: Although I haven't calculated (as it takes several hours to separate my short-term trading from macro/investing results) my guesstimate is that my performance is similar (anywhere between -1% to +1%). So I far I have gotten it right to avoid bonds in the...

    I have been using the site https://www.tradervue.com/ to track and do some data analytics on my short-term trading and its been great. I'm using more for my day and swing trading but I can see this been very useful for all kinds of traders. I made some interesting discoveries there (the vast...

    But as far as the stock market goes, a lot of the Trump disruption has been beneficial. A big tax cut, deregulation, economic stimulus by the rise in the fiscal deficit, etc. Furthermore, if anything I'm finding the opposite from the rule of law/strength of institutions side. So far he hasn't...

    % winning trades, avg profit, avg win, avg loss stats at IB. Is there a way to see this?

    Very cool, I was able to check additional stats. I still miss the fact that I dont have "win trade %" "avg win" "avg loss'. And it would be AWESOME if IB or another service had profitability per hour of the day. I want to see how my mid day trading is doing
