Alpha Equivalence Bot

ES, YM, NQ Long-Short Systems

Results show backtested performance for the latest Alpha Equivalence Bot Portfolio + Position Sizing Bot.

The AE + Pos Bot has multiple trades per day. Each NQ, YM and ES system consists of many subsystems, we expect many days in which we will get correlated trades. The YM, ES and NQ can and will all go long or short on individual days. Also, you have the potential for multiple longs or shorts on individual markets all at different prices. Results below show the daily top 60 and bottom 60 trades for the entire day (the day will consist of multiple individual subsystem trades).

Position Sizing Bot

Alpha Equivalence Bot autonomously adjusts the position size relative to market price and volatility. The position sizing bot will keep the expected value per trade across the different markets equal. The position sizing bot will lower the risk and reduce the depth of drawdowns. The position sizing bot can also utilise the Emini and Micro markets simultaneously so for smaller accounts the bot will automatically choose the correct market to trade to ensure position size across markets is balanced.

Position Sizing Bot is used to smooth performance during a volatile period or rapid increase in market price. Position Sizing Bot will allow users to trade volatile markets or low range markets whilst risking an appropriate amount per trade. Position Sizing Bot will always have a lower net % profits but will have a much smoother performance and greater risk-adjusted returns. There have only been 4 drawdowns greater than 20% in the testing period. Most users are more concerned with drawdown and risk-adjusted returns, a user would be happy to average 100% return with a max drawdown of -33.21% which compared to using no Position Sizing Bot (excluding outlier years) we have 159% average yearly gain with 57.7% drawdown.

Examples:

Fixed position size – 1 Emini per system for 100k capital. NQ Low volatility market with 1% range and market price 15000 = 150 NQ points = $4,000 per Emini contract. Under volatile market conditions with 2% range and market price 15000 = 300 NQ points = $6,000 per Emini contract. When the market themes shifts from low volatility to high volatility this tends to happen swiftly, a user trading a fixed position size will have a much higher degree of risk during a volatile period and the performance during the volatile period will be heavily weighted and reflect the bulk of long term performance.

With the same example as above with a Position Sizing Bot, the Position size will autonomously adjust to take into account volatility and market price. If a user is starting with $100k initial capital and is comfortable risking 3% per trade then they will trade 1 Emini contract with market trading in a 1% range = $3,000 per Emini contract. If volatility increases and the daily range expectation is now 2% the position sizing will autonomously adjust the position size so the user trades 5 Micro contracts on the next trade which means they will still be in line with the original $3,000 they are comfortable with risking.

Allowing multiple systems to trade simultaneously with smaller bets can reduce overall risk. Risk per day does increase and the dollar values, when normalised to today’s market price, is higher than previous portfolios, however, returns are superior and the average year % gain is two times max historical drawdown.

Position Size Guidance

Historical drawdown on $100k initial account assuming drawdown occurs from 1st trade made. Users will input their Initial Capital and % they are willing to risk per trade (keep in mind we average 2.5 trades per day) and the Position Sizing Bot will autonomously adjust the position size for each individual market. The Positions Sizing Bot will also move from Emini markets to Micro markets autonomously so trades are always placed with User risk parameters.

AE Position Sizing Calculator can be used as a guide – this calculator is updated relative to volatility and market price.

Correlation

NQ, YM and ES share some correlated trades meaning you might have three long positions at one time. Trading multiple systems simultaneously improve performance and odds increase for monthly consistency. An individual has multiple systems packed into the portfolio on a very rare day you can potentially have +8 Long or -8 Short on a single day.

Leverage

In live trading, clients trade 2 to 5 times leverage. Clients choose their own Initial Capital and Risk Per Trade settings. The Position Sizing Bot can be turned on and off at any time. You can add max loss per day stop for each system.

Don’t worry about the position sizing

Position sizing bot is used to smooth performance during a volatile period or rapid increase in market price. In other words, it will allow you to trade volatile markets or low range markets whilst risking an appropriate amount per trade.

Our algorithmic trading bot will autonomously adjust position size relative to market price and volatility – so you wouldn’t have to worry about it! Simply set your initial capital and the amount of risk you require per trade e.g. 2%.

The position sizing bot can be turned on and off at any time. You can also add max loss per day stop for each system.

Backtested trading results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between backtested trading results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of backtested trading results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, backtested trading does not involve financial risk, and no backtested trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of backtested performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
