Hi all, I thought it could be interesting to publish the first quarter results of a basket of 7 different strategies on the DAX. 1 point on dax is 1 euro or 2 euro depending on the strategy. In the picture you can see the backtest of the strategies, the backtests have different lenght depending on the timeframe it is used for each strategy. Also you can see the real results of this basket for the first quarter (in the pictures taken from excel). On the bottom right I added a snapshot of the monetary performance as provided by the platform ( proreal time). What I wanted to show is that 1) on the dax you can find many robust and long lived algorithmic strategies. 2) cfd are good instruments on dax to achieve diversification. Happy Easter

Perhaps you should have posted each Chart separately. All charts together we can't see much

Tushar Patel, I tried but I can't attach more than one picture on a post I am afraid.

Well done. What was your strategy on deciding which 7 strategies? IE is it a mix of mean reverting, trending, longs only, etc?

Hi Ruan Haese, thank you, well on the DAX mean reverting strategies dont really work at least on the time frames I am working with. there are Bias, Breakout and Trend Following strategies. The criteria to select those has been based on the backtesting. Maximizing prfit/drawdown and having a sastisfactory number of trades and a sufficent average trade profit to cover for slippage.

Thanks. Another question, how often do you optimize your parameters? I seem to be getting conflicting views on this, some say never, some once a year and others once a week?

Ruan Haese, It depends, the strategies that you see in this post for instance has not been reoptimized for the last 3 months. In general what I think it works is a rotational approach. You have n available strategies and every x months you selsect the best y strategies.
