GOLD, VIX and OVERNIGHT TRADING

August 2, 2017

I have been asked many times by traders and institutional investors how a portfolio of my 3 trading methodologies would have performed during the years:

Nighly PatternsBacktesting VixGold Trading Gold 

To exploit Shannon’s Demon effect at better, we should keep portfolio’s allocation equal after each trade. This is somewhat time consuming on a daily basis, that’s why I thought to reallocate monthly the portfolio of strategies. I went back to April 2009, as far as vix etps inception.

Here are the monthly returns without reinvesting profits:

THREE

Maximum portfolio drawdown is limited to -12,42% !

The equity curve is one of the most solid I’ve ever seen:

THREE EQUITY

Compounding returns once a month, below is the equity curve:

THREE COMPOUNDED

1 $ invested at the beginning of every month would have grown to more than 3500 dollars in about 8 years! Here it is, a portfolio of strategies to compound with an extremely low monthly drawdown of only -12,42% and a double digit CAGR of about 187%. This is more than a system, this is how I really trade!

Best regards,

    • Well Nathan, firstly you don’t need any software or data. Just a broker with low commission.
      Then apart from the negative year of 2015 you would have earned always more than 3 times the website fee trading only 1 contract.
      The worst year was 2016 with $2325 of profit trading 1 contract, minus 665 euro you get about $1500 of profit on that contract
      (depending on euro/dollar cross).
