Hello dear traders and analysts! What do you think about trading of portfolio ratios? Is there any sense in comparison to spread trading or long/short portfolios. Each time I make an order a capital parity is preserved automatically. Example - DJI-"top" stocks vice DJI index: [HD+UNH+...]/DJI...

I have made optimization for 2009-2014 and displayed portfolio equity corresponding to this structure of weights. 2014-2015 is forward test.

I appreciate your comments. Thanks. There are 12 assets in the basket: 6 Long/6 Short. Portfolio structure has not been updated since 2009 - the same assets (the same weights). Weights are optimized over 2009-2014.

Thanks for your reply. Nobody is perfect :) Though this portfolio is beta neutral, it's perfomance depends on underlying index volatility. Low volatility (like in 2013) decreases spread between long and short parts of portfolio. The only way out - to invest in several markets. Transaction costs...

It is still paper trading. However we are starting the actual program in December. Thanks.

Thanks:) It's a sample beta neutral portfolio of our new online investment service "Portfolio Spread". It will be released in December.

Dear colleagues! What do you think about this portfolio of Long/Short positions in the DAX universe (Cumulated returns of spread)? Average annual return: 20%. Maximum historical drawdown is 13%. Stationarity optimization + Fractal filter + CAPM optimization. Is it attractive for possible...
