Rod.Yeh well its possible to look at it from a number of veiw points.Here is mine.I know that from 5000 portfolio tests that not ALL will trade the same infact the difference is dramatic.150% to 550% return.according to testing.Now I maybe lucky and get on the 550% one or Unlucky and get on the 150%. ( IE The portfolio I end up filling and consequently trading.)I could do as you say but I'm not going to be sure which one I'm on until years of trading has elapsed.I feel trading different portfolio's of the same AND/OR different portfolio's of a different method/s (which will also have their high return and low return portfolio's) is mitigating risk----that I wont get in the lowest one---rather than maximising profit that I can get in the highest one---Thats just the way I think---defensive---and if I get that right the rest will follow.Maybe its good thinking,maybe some think its not.If I had data back 50 yrs it may show that the deviation is non existant over that time and If I was 20 then it wouldnt matter.(This can NEVER happen (Have a tested result) as its impossible to have a margin list accurate after 6 mths---yes another topic re accuracy of results from present day data----we will be here months discussing this---no problem---gets people thinking out of the square).At 50 I need it right for the next 10 yrs so I can enjoy it!!
Rod.
Yeh well its possible to look at it from a number of veiw points.
Here is mine.
I know that from 5000 portfolio tests that not ALL will trade the same infact the difference is dramatic.150% to 550% return.according to testing.
Now I maybe lucky and get on the 550% one or Unlucky and get on the 150%. ( IE The portfolio I end up filling and consequently trading.)
I could do as you say but I'm not going to be sure which one I'm on until years of trading has elapsed.
I feel trading different portfolio's of the same AND/OR different portfolio's of a different method/s (which will also have their high return and low return portfolio's) is mitigating risk----that I wont get in the lowest one---rather than maximising profit that I can get in the highest one---Thats just the way I think---defensive---and if I get that right the rest will follow.
Maybe its good thinking,maybe some think its not.
If I had data back 50 yrs it may show that the deviation is non existant over that time and If I was 20 then it wouldnt matter.(This can NEVER happen (Have a tested result) as its impossible to have a margin list accurate after 6 mths---yes another topic re accuracy of results from present day data----we will be here months discussing this---no problem---gets people thinking out of the square).
At 50 I need it right for the next 10 yrs so I can enjoy it!!
