Hello again everybody! I'm one of the coaches of Unger Academy, and welcome back to this brand new video dedicated to the analysis of the trading systems in our portfolio.
Okay, so let's start with our usual review of the systems that have performed better during the last few days and, more in particular, over the last month. This week, I want to show you two strategies for a European stock market, DAX. This market has performed pretty well and made significant gains in the last month, following what happened in the US stock market. The two strategies you can see here have exploited exactly those movements, especially with their long entries.
So let me tell you something more about the strategy that you see in the upper part of the screen. This is a trend-following strategy, and we've already shown it in one of our past videos. It was created in 2017 and has continued to perform very well over the last few years. The stop loss of this strategy is very tight, which translates into a relatively low percentage of profitability. However, we might say that this is quite normal for trend-following systems.
As you can see here, this trading system made some excellent trades in the last week. Thanks to these 3 trades, in particular, we earned 6,500€.
But let's take a closer look at the results and of course the equity line of the system. As you can see, it is at an all-time high now, and overall, the equity curve of the last year is also very good.
For sure, there have been some more difficult moments. We see it here. However, given this strategy's very tight stop loss, it's pretty normal to hit many stop losses, even one after another, since the system's more likely to hit the stop loss level. What's important is that the market responds very well, and a few positive trades, such as the ones we've just seen, are enough to compensate a lot of stop losses. You can see it here: a handful of trades were enough to return to equity peaks.
Let's move on to the next strategy. The trading system we've just seen is based on a breakout trend-following strategy, so it enters when the previous day's high is broken. This one, instead, is a reversal strategy that enters when the so-called 'false breakouts' occur. So if in the previous case, we went long when the high of the previous day was broken, in this case, we go long when the low of the previous day is broken. And vice versa for the short side, of course.
Unlike the other strategy, in this case, positions are kept open beyond the end of the session. It's a multiday strategy, so we can consider it as the very opposite of the first one we've just seen, given all its characteristics. Moreover, this one is certainly heavier.
Here you can see that it made this long entry over the last week, and we see this bad drawdown, which brought the strategy close to hitting the stop loss. However, after that, the market changed direction, and luckily for us, the system didn't hit the stop loss, although it did go very close to it. Then the market went up again, and currently, the strategy has an open position that is in profit of about €6,200.
The equity line of the strategy is also very good. It somehow looks like the previous one, even if it's different. Here we can see some drawdowns in the first part of 2021. Look at here, until March. After that, the system recovered, and right now, we are on an equity peak.
So, guys, you can try and develop these strategies for Dax too! Today, there's also a micro version of Dax, which is the Micro Dax, so this market has certainly become more scalable and suitable for smaller portfolios.
