That's what I've recently done, also have VAS and was going to add to it but decided to complement with MVW rather than being so heavily weighted to mining and finance. It does swing a bit more than VAS but as it does hold broad range of mid-large companies, it doesn't move too far in comparison.

Hi @Ferret, would you consider an active fund instead of another passive index fund to sit with A200? i.e. MVW, an equal weighted fund, reducing sector concentration.

@Skate, are you looking to eventually build a portfolio that is manageable in number of stocks that meet your criteria but also diversified rather than the few large financials and iron ore companies that dominate the portfolio? Would you consider looking at companies that may currently be...

Originally an investor (though more of a buyer and see how it goes, not a lot of analysis) over past 20 years of no more than several stocks. Started trading 2018 with 1 portfolio of 20 positions (started following one of the Nick Radge Chartist portfolios), past 18 months have added another 2...

I have used H&R Block for several years to do my tax and recently received an email about their tax course. Seems the course may be focused towards those that want a job with H&R Block. I had been thinking of doing my own tax this year as agents at H&R Block can be a bit of a hit & miss, the...

Nick, will turnkey for Amibroker be available till end of year only? Just incase I stick to AB, though strong case for moving to RT. Will evaluate trial, may have to wait & see if tax refund this year to buy it, as after last year performance unlikely I'll owe. ? Sid

Those are also the 2 main reasons that sparked my interest. I did code up a simple BBO system 18 months ago (made a few updates since) & bought Nick's WTT turnkey (with a few parameter changes) 12 months ago but find it difficult to grasp coding with things like looping and "If" statements. So...

After 12 months, are you solely using RT and if so, was it worth the change? Nick Radge just confirmed (via video on website) he is moving to RT beginning next year. Along with Nick's reason for this and the posts here, RT seems worth changing to. The short video highlights being able to...

I guess there are many ways to find uncorrelated systems, One really needs to open up the mind, so easy to spend time trying to fine tune further what already seems to work fairly well. Certainly has me now thinking (with renewed enthusiasm) ways to looking into fundamental indicators and not...

Yeah, 2022 not too good for most, let alone starting new systems (my BBO version started mid 21 & WTT beginning 22), first dog was a big dog. Thanks for highlighting some of those questions, especially - "Again, what can you handle ?", as did some more backtesting and the drawdowns through...

It certainly makes sense if you can build a suite of systems, and as you mention @DaveDaGr8 ,that are uncorrelated, to smooth out total MDD rather than trying to avoid DD as Nick mentions. Knowing when you're improving or curve fitting your system seems to be a "hazy" area. You're only ever...

@ArtMaster , @Newt , I've been running BBO from the book since mid 2021 after learning Amibroker, thought about Flipper but at the time I was chasing the highest CAGR. Plenty info here on the 20% Flipper, here is one link from Skate end 2021-...

Great return @Cam019 & @Newt for this year. I had been running simple BBO as per Nick's Unholy Grails without filter. Back test period: 01/01/2022 to 18/08/2022, CAR was -23.44% and Max. system % drawdown -18.52%. Actual traded return for same period was CAR -18% (Filter version, drawdown...

Hi @ArtMaster, I subscribed to The Chartist 4 years ago, I joined for two reasons. Firstly I needed to go cold turkey from a no plan, no idea, hope it works out style of investing, to let a professional tell me what and when to buy, so I started with the Growth Portfolio. Second was a site that...

If anyone interested in Nick's systems, ie WTT & would like to listen or ask questions, he is talking now live on Selfwealth webinar till 7pm. . SID.
