Reversal Day Strategy – Backtest and Overview (Bullish Reversal-Market Turnaround) In this post, we will discuss the idea of a reversal day strategy, its potential causes, and the significance of identifying these signals in the stock market. We backtest the following trading rules: * Today's low is lower than yesterday's low * Today's close is higher than yesterday's close * The five-day RSI must be lower than 35 The last trading rule (RSI) indicates that the trend has been negative over the last few days. The trading rules above are just one example of how you can define a reversal day. There are, of course, unlimited ways you can define such a turnaround. The equity curve if we exit after one day looks like the image shown below. Can the strategy be improved or made different?

Larry Connors’ 3 Day High/Low Method Trading Strategy (Is It Still Effective?) In this article, we backtest Larry Connors‘ 3 day high/low Method/Strategy. How has the strategy performed since it was revealed in his book in 2009? The 3 day high/low method/strategy performed well in Connors’ book, and it still works pretty well today 12 years later. The basic principle of the strategy is to but when an ETF has made lower highs and lower lows for three consecutive days. In plain English, the strategy is like this: - Today’s close must be higher than the 200-day moving average. - Today’s close must be lower than the 5-day moving average. - Two days ago both the high and low were lower than the day before. - Yesterday the high and low were lower than the day before. - Today the high and low are lower than yesterday. - If conditions 1-5 are true, then buy today at the close. - Exit at the close when the close is above the 5-day moving average. The most-traded ETF, the S&P 500 (SPY), has the equity curve shown below. Can the strategy be improved or made different?

Larry Connors’ Multiple Days Up And Multiple Days Down - Trading Strategies Analysis Chapter 6 of Larry Connors‘ High Probability Trading contains a trading strategy called Multiple Days Up (MDU) And Multiple Days Down (MDD). The book was published in 2009, the trading tests were done until 31st of December 2008, and it’s time to test and check how the strategy has performed since then. In this strategy, we look to buy when an ETF has dropped 4 out of the last 5 trading days. The trading rules are like this: * The close is above the 200-day moving average. * The close must be below the 5-day moving average. * The ETF must have dropped at least 4 days out of the last 5 trading days. * If 1-3 above is true, then enter at the close. * Sell on the close when the ETF closes above its 5-day moving average. * No stop-loss.

Turtle Trading Strategies: Rules, Statistics, and Backtests — Does It Still Work? Yes, the turtle trading strategy still works today. It is a trend-following strategy, so it works in markets with clear trends. While the original strategy, which is based on identifying breakouts, still works reasonably well, traders have modified the turtle trading rules by using technical indicators for trend identification. The technique may not be as profitable as in the 1980s, but traders can still use it to earn good returns, as indicated by the Barclay CTA index and successful hedge funds, like Swedish Lynx, for example. Turtle Trading strategy backtest 1: Close higher than 6 months ago (momentum) * If the close is higher than 6 months ago, buy and hold the position for one month. * If the close is lower than the close 6 months ago, sell and stay out for the coming month. * Rinse and repeat monthly. The equity curve looks like the image shown below. Can the strategy be improved or made different?

Donchian Channels Trading Strategy – Trading Guide and Effectiveness (Backtest Commodities And S&P 500) The Donchian Channels (or bands) are formed by two bands: an upper band based on the high of the last N bars, and one lower band based on the low of the last N bars. Donchian Channels work well as a trend following indicator for commodities and currencies, but not for stocks. However, we turned the Donchian Channels upside down and made the Donchian Channels work as a mean reversion indicator for stocks. Let’s test a simple Donchian Channel strategy on the S&P 500. We backtest the following strategy: * We buy when the close breaks above the 20-day high. * We sell/exit when the close ends below the 20-day low. This strategy has produced this equity curve (shown below) from 1960 to October 2021 (only the long side and not including reinvested dividends). Can the strategy be improved or made different?

Golden Cross Trading Strategy (Backtest Analysis) A Golden Cross happens when the short moving average crosses above the long moving average. As a trading signal, it works reasonably well. It keeps you invested in bullish markets and keeps you out of trouble when we get a bear market. It involves two moving averages – one short and one long. When the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, we have a Golden Cross. We backtest the following trading rules: In this post, we use daily bars. But you can, of course, use any time frame you want. There is no right or wrong in trading as long as it works. - The trading rules are simple. When the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, it signals a bullish breakout, and you buy. - Conversely, when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, it signals a bearish breakout, and you sell your position. Below is shown the equity curve. Can the strategy be improved or made different?
