To exploit Shannon’s Demon effect at better, we should keep portfolio’s allocation equal after each trade. This is somewhat time consuming on a daily basis, that’s why I thought to reallocate monthly the portfolio of strategies. I went back to April 2009, as far as vix etps inception.
Here are the monthly returns without reinvesting profits:
CAGR = 152%
Maximum monthly portfolio drawdown is limited to -12,42% !
The cumulative equity curve, showing the monthly cumulated gains, is one of the most solid I’ve ever seen:
Compounding returns once a month, below is the equity curve:
$1 invested at the beginning of every month would have grown to more than 3500 dollars in about 8 years! Here it is, a portfolio of strategies to compound with an extremely low monthly drawdown of only -12,42% and a double digit CAGR of about 187%. This is more than a system, this is how I really trade!
Minimum capital required = $20000 per system, totally $60000
Yearly Subscription Fee – 1995 Euro
