I currently only have about 1000 strategies. But ultimately I want to balance up the portfolio. So say about 15 pairs + gold + oil and maybe 4-5 indexes. So 20+ instruments with say 300 strategies each. For now I’m focusing on forex. How do you follow all those results???? That’s the question alright…. I currently use a combination of FX Blue and MT4 tracker. I find MT4 tracker good as it gives a graphical representation of the trades which is hard to see sometimes with just the stats. It also allows to filter just the last n trades which allows me to see a longer term and short term graph of the trades. I have no affiliation with the program. I have decided to go to the next level with my analysis. I have just hired a programmer to create an end to end system for me. It will send all the demo mt4 data to an Mysql database to sort it. Then to excel where i can set the parameters of the top performing strategies that i want to trade then back to the database to a trade copy program that will send it to a live account. Still in the early stages and a long way to go. For me it’s all about sample size. I want as many strategies as possible to choose from and then narrow it down to the top performers on a short and long term basis. Multiply that over a good number of different assets and hopefully attain a reasonable smooth equity curve with minimal drawdown. I had my first one on one with Petko the other day and it really helped me put the final pieces together. I highly recommend these one on one sessions to anyone who wants to “put it all together”. I realise I still have a way to go…… I have been trading off and on for over 20 years and feel that finally things might be starting to come together with the final piece being the algo trading techniques that Petko teaches here……..
How is your trading going Andi. I followed your posts closely when I first joined up as it looked like you were starting to put it together….
