System Description

The system developer writes:

SYSTEM BACKGROUND:
This system was originally conceived in 2007 as part of a lengthy interview process with a prominent bank in an effort to demonstrate system performance and highlight my own credentials and trading expertise. Despite its success it was no longer required from May 2008 and was thereafter used to track signals from Broadsword Macro and other discretionary trades. Whilst still maintaining a 30% annualized return it subsequently suffered it's worst drawdown of 50% by end March 2009, the maximum dd tolerated for system purposes, and therefore will no longer be actively traded or represent any system going forward.

Important limitations about performance statistics on this page (back to top)
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
If you are interested in the technical details of how we determine hypothetical trade prices, you may read this technical description.
