November Performance Report – Solid Returns Year To Date

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET

We have a number of trading strategies available on Marwood Research and we have been tracking their performance throughout the year.

Following you will find year-to-date performance of a selection of our trading strategies. Please note that these are all end-of-day, low maintenance strategies. They require very little work and investment of time and can be used as part of a diversified portfolio.

Also note that the results shown are backtested returns (not live trades) out of sample and we have applied transaction costs of $0.01 per share.

Simple MA Crossover

This is one of our oldest and simplest strategies but it continues to perform well. No margin is used here. MAR = 3.10.

Unusual Volume

Unusual Volume holds trades for one week. Fair to say it is a bit temperamental and can be vastly improved with human discretion but it remains profitable. MAR = 2.66.

ETF Pullbacks

This is a classic system. It typically keeps up with buy and hold during bull markets with much tighter drawdowns in bad periods. MAR = 10.44.

Flexible Strategies

It should be said that our strategies are flexible and can be implemented in different ways such as:

  • Combining the systems together to increase returns and reduce drawdowns
  • Including human discretion into the selection process ( i.e. using the system as a profitable start point)
  • Incorporating the systems into a more traditional buy-hold portfolio
  • Using our systems on different markets (for example, Simple MA Crossover shows backtest returns of 638% this year trading bitcoin).
