Maybe we should refer to them as “White Swans”…??? ;-) I hope to use OT to get more data on volatility around earnings, but I’m involved with another project concerning Limit Orders at the moment. Reflecting on it, what I like about this portfolio is that because of its diversity and small trade sizes I don’t find myself getting overly concerned about any particular set of trades. I figure the statistical behavior should assert itself over time. Could be interesting given World Affairs / Politics for the next few months, though. BTW - looks like you got a few extra bucks on those 3 trades getting out on Friday. Nice. My testing data doesn’t support early exits overall, but maybe doing it on Fridays would be a good thing to check out…??? Mark |
