The core idea here is also used in my Pangolin-Z system over at Collective2, but improved upon quite significantly such that the profit seen over the last five years is higher, as is the percent of trades profitable and the Sharpe Ratio.

Kevin_in_GA 4,599 posts msg #113159 - Ignore Kevin_in_GA	5/6/2013 5:11:58 PM It still works well - here is a backtest (5 positions max) since 1/2/2013: There were 55 total stocks entered. Of those, 50 or 90.91% were complete and 5 or 9.09% were open. Of the 50 completed trades, 35 trades or 70.00% resulted in a net gain. Your average net change for completed trades was: 0.86%. The average draw down of your approach was: -2.67%. The average max profit of your approach was: 2.54% The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 2.17 Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 40.45%, the ROI of ^SPX was: 35.76%. Equity Summary Starting Account Value: $100,000.00 Fees per trade: $8.95 Ending Account Value: $109,240.19. Cash: $-0.03 Market value of holdings at end: $109,240.22 (paid: $107,379.02) Realized gain/loss: $7,871.24 ($157.42 per trade.) Total Commissions Paid: $939.75 Unrealized gain/loss: $1,861.20. But here is the modified version (Pangolin Z): There were 58 total stocks entered. Of those, 53 or 91.38% were complete and 5 or 8.62% were open. Of the 53 completed trades, 40 trades or 75.47% resulted in a net gain. Your average net change for completed trades was: 1.86%. The average draw down of your approach was: -2.56%. The average max profit of your approach was: 2.56% The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 4.16 Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 82.74%, the ROI of ^SPX was: 35.76%. Equity Summary Starting Account Value: $100,000.00 Fees per trade: $8.95 Ending Account Value: $120,819.16. Cash: $0.22 Market value of holdings at end: $120,818.94 (paid: $120,316.46) Realized gain/loss: $20,835.78 ($393.13 per trade.) Total Commissions Paid: $993.45 Unrealized gain/loss: $502.48 More then 2.5 times the profit, higher win %, and much better Reward/Risk ratio.
fortyfour 189 posts msg #113161 - Ignore fortyfour modified	5/6/2013 5:55:51 PM Kevin, Does Pangolin Z drawdown more in the same drawdown periods as your original. Maybe you already answered that with " higher Sharpe ratio too" but just want to be sure. Thanks.
Kevin_in_GA 4,599 posts msg #113194 - Ignore Kevin_in_GA	5/7/2013 10:24:37 PM Original Z-score system - Performance for period 1/2/2007 through 4/1/2013 Max Drawdown - 17.15% Sharpe Ratio - 0.9103 Pangolin Z - Performance for period 1/2/2007 through 4/1/2013 Max Drawdown - 11.77% Sharpe Ratio - 1.748 This period encompasses the severe 50+% drawdown seen in the S&P500.

When you optimize this system, specifically what was the in-sample and out-of-sample data time frames used? I�m potential subscriber and I'm trying to understand curve fit risk. Thanks, tomm1111

Thanks, tomm1111 ++++++++++++ 1. The in-sample data was 1/1/2008 until 12/31/2012 (or thereabouts). The goal was to include a period of protracted drawdown into the design - this is especially important for a long-only system like Pangolin Z. No out-of-sample data was used. I started trading it live on C2 on 3/26/2013, and so far it is up 17%. I would suggest looking at www.statisticalinvesting.com to see the backtest data and results.

tonyctl 7 posts msg #114907 - Ignore tonyctl	8/16/2013 3:57:11 AM New to SF here and would like to know when I am backtesting this system and have Max. trades per day set to 2, will the backtest automatically select the first 2 stocks with the lowest Z scores to purchase? Also, does max. trades per day mean max number of purchases in one day or combined buy and sell orders?
