Duc, I've added to my last post with "What's next" & a "recap" explaining the three.

Trading the bounce
Your posts is a perfect explanation how the daily "Ducati blue bar strategy" trades the "bounce" by picking when a trend turns using two indicators "volatility & volume". If the trend is up (blue Bars) we buy & if the trend is down (red bars) we sell - the strategy is simple, effective & clean. Your idea using "volatility & volume" to generate signals is clever but "ONLY" when the Parameters, Filters & PositionScore are added to the strategy being vital components to the profitability of the strategy. Using just the raw code without the "Parameters, Filters & PositionScore" the strategy would generate a tremendous amount of signals which tends to be useless.

Back to "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator"
(a) Integration was important. (b) Using the "monthly" ASX 200 Accumulation Index (XJOA) smoothes the signal. (c) The indicator works like someone saying - "get ready", "get ready","pull the trigger now" indicator. All strategies have entry & exit conditions "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" adds another layer to fine tune the "NOW" (pull the trigger now indicator) if that makes sense.

"The Ducati blue bar strategy"
It goes to prove that "The Ducati blue bar strategy" is no Chihuahua when it comes to strategies - it's more of a Rottweiler. For those who are following these two dogs "SGH" & "TER" - "The Ducati blue bar strategy" gave two buy signals that rattled me. To tell you the truth I wouldn't have taken either of these two positions, not even with counterfeit money. After a few days the portfolio is up $5,776.

@Country Lad thanks for reminding me about "SGH". It appears "The Ducati blue bar strategy" doesn't mind buying dogs if there is money to be made.

To rub salt into the wound (Portfolio performance)
I'll post a few portfolio captures for those interested...

So it's not flying backwards.
But it is reversing on the same stupidly low volume.
Note the change/ pickup in volume/ divergence. I was considering picking some up last week and today it had fallen into the abyss off the end of the current checklist, so missed it's supernova performance... on low volume today
Now, if we all did staged buy ups tomorrow...

I'm waiting for the bounce so I can dive in!

I posted before that I was planning to start my trading experience in Feb but was (fortunately) delayed by some equipment issues.

So since the crash I've been paper trading and all with good results but not not sure if I'm to learn anything given the extraordinary circumstances.

As we know paper trading is relatively boring so I'm keen to dive in, but my better judgement and the the banter I read here suggests we are in a sucker rally at the the moment.

So please market get on with the bounce so I can do my thing

"The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator"
@Rsthree if you are trading a daily periodicity you have missed the start of the "bounce" but if your are planning to trade weekly, wait patiently as the bounce hasn't been confirmed by "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" which has the uncanny ability not only to pick the bounce but when it safe to enter.

Easy to read charts
When the bars are green you are good to GO, whereas red bars mean do not enter a position.

XAO - Daily bounce







XAO - Weekly bounce

Hi Trendnomics

It does my head in trying to figure out what the postive/negative x-axis is on those graphs. I can understand Y will be the difference relative to buy price in set number of days. But don't really understand what positive and neg X value (current values) represent?

Anyhow, just as an exercise, this is the All Ords (+ Historical constituents) universe 4/1/2015 to 20/4/2020:

BUY = Today's price is greater than x bars ago
SELL = x bars after BUY

This is 30 separate random runs across the All ords universe, for a max of 25 positions. Y axis shows average annual returns across that period just randomly buying 25 stocks that met those Buy criteria, than selling X days later.

CAR scale is a bit hard to read, but effectively once over about 2 weeks you start to edge in to profitability. This won't surprise anyone that's ever included some sort of trend check criterion into an ASX trend following strategy (and then optimised it).

Essentially once you increase the period "x" to around 100 days you can show approx 5-15% per annum. This was run with $11 commission both ways, no slippage, min stock price 10cents, min average weekly turnover $100k.

Shown from a few different angles as otherwise bit hard to take in.

I think your thesis is that for short (<16 day) periods random walk theory holds ok, but longer periods (2 weeks to 2 years) show a high probability of continuing postive momentum and returns in a long only trend following ASX system?

Mine is a weekly outlook but I think I may have used the wrong term when I said 'bounce'.

My low tech crystal ball from the $2 shop was insisting that the current exuberance was going to fail with another sharp down trend. So I was hoping to see a nice and orderly higher low developing for my entry signal.
But even if that happens it will probably then torment me with a deep and protracted accumulation period until we see some confidence in the economy moving forward. It will certainly test my patience.

"The Ducati Dalmador Two Dogs Strategy"
It goes to prove that "The Ducati blue bar strategy" is no Chihuahua when it comes to strategies - it's more of a cute Labrador/Dalmatian mix. It's an offspring of a purebred Dalmatian and the purebred Labrador (hybrid). It's a mix of the easy-going Labrador & a feisty Dalmatian, which makes for a perfect dog & strategy. For those who are following these two dogs "SGH" & "TER" - "The Ducati Dalmador Two Dogs Strategy" gave two buy signals that rattled me. To tell you the truth I wouldn't have taken either of these two positions, not even with counterfeit money. Bugger me, the portfolio is still up $4,251.

@frugal.rock as you have taken an interest in "PDI" I think an update is required. "The Ducati Blue Bar Strategy" has generated a sell signal on (ASXDI) tomorrow.

@myrtie100 I've grabbed part of your post from the "swf-selfwealth-limited" thread. My weekly trading update for "The Ducati Blue Bar Strategy" is quickly coming to an end as the "8 Position Portfolio" has only one position currently open & "Two Dog Strategy" both positions are hanging on.

Knowledge, "leads to action"
@ducati916 posted some helpful hints (passing on some of his knowledge) in the "Dump it here" thread has resulted in 3 new afl's for me. (1) "The Ducati Blue Bar Daily Strategy" (2) "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" & (3) "The Ducati Acceleration Indicator" all respectable in their own right. I'm now a firm believer that we don't need a fancy strategy to make money in this game. Using "The Ducati Blue Bar Daily Strategy" with prudent "Money management" & a sharp "PositionScore" code brings this strategy to life. (parameter settings are also important - being part of the mix)

"The Ducati Blue Bar Strategy"
This strategy just keeps giving by picking the turning pivot with ease. The signals are generated by using two commonly found indicators. Reverse the entry condition & you have yourself a handy exit strategy. When the position doesn't follow through "The Ducati Blue Bar Strategy" exits very quickly without any other inputs, simple & clever.

This may be interesting
"The Ducati Blue Bar Strategy" picked the move of (ASX:SWF) & as you have an interest - the chart below may hold some interest for you.
