Subject : Macro + Micro with Inactivity and MOC and REU

Post #44500

I got thinking that with RTM strategies, we are really looking at a short time horizon. I wondered if there was an optimal time horizon per strategy that if the position didn't move, we should close the trade. To achieve this, I added an Inactivity condition to each trade plan and used the Strategy Wizard to step through each strategy, testing each Inactivity period from 2 to 22 step 2. From there I tested the period before and after the period that had the highest ratio for Avg Ann ROI/Profit Standard Deviation. I use this ratio because for me it is an assessment of the distribution -- the tighter the Std, the more predictable it is and the less inherent risk.

Next, as I was catching up on my forum reading, I saw that Steve Luerman had done some nice work by changing the strategies to use Market on Close for entry/exit and used the Reuse Intraday funds. I also believe he used the Simulation Setting to Increase Trade Size vs Increase Number of Trades.

Combining the 2 concepts of Inactivity and MOC, I came up with the following results:



Note that these results include commissions.

Of interest, if you don't reuse the Intraday Funds, the ranking of the methods:
1) Inactivity + MOC
2) Inactivity
3) MOC
4) Base (my interpretation of Mark H's original Macro + Micro posting)
5) ATM Macro & Micro from the Nirvana distribution

Activating the reuse of Intraday Funds flip flops the #2 and #3. The results were also lower, but this shows that combining the ideas is adative.



At 1.23x leverage and no commissions, the Inactivity + MOC method produces: Avg Ann ROI / Avg Ann MDD = 85.0% / 12.4% = 6.85




For those interested in the Periods of Inactivity used in each strategy:
CRT-3: 2
NSP-41: 9
RTM7a: 4
T3-S3: 4
XLS-19 V2: 4
X-MFI: 7
X-ULT: 9

Finally, one more pic. For those of you that wonder what an account would look like that starts with $10,000 over the 15 year period, with commissions and no intraday reuse of funds...



Large images attached for those wanting higher resolution.

Curious what setting you used for the minimum gain under the inactivity stop? It defaults to 10 ATRs which is ridiculously high. I'm thinking more like 2-3% but wondering what you used

I left those as default. The Period was the only value I changed. I am running a test with Strategy Wizard 4 to see if there are better settings for the combination of the periods, min gain, and ATR. But that will take awhile.

Great idea, jpb....

I'm looking forward to using Strategy Wizard 4 too - it looks like another great improvement from N.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Please provide a link to the SW 4 information. I never got a flyer or even an email about it.

No worries. Scott set me up with SW4 and also the email link. Seems that there are many sort of random times when random users don't get email announcements. I hope that N improves this. Thanks, Scott!

Jim and all:

This automatically comes up with my name but I would think you could modify it for yourself:

FWIW - to get settings for the inactivity stop in each strategy what i did was run a full BT/FT then take the trading results under file-print reports-perf summary and look at the ave bars in trade - say it's 3 - and use that in the stop. For min gain I looked at the ave PPT for the strat and used that. separate settings for long and short if the strategy trades both

Too many strategies/settings involved to SW each one and this seemed like a good start.

Open to better ideas!

Good suggestion. That may narrow my search.

I've been running SW since the original post but each run has over 11,000 combinations. I have 7 virtual machine clones running, but it will take years for it to finish. I was hoping that by the time I get 500 iterations using the Fast algorithm that I might have a small cluster forming that I could use to focus the search.
