A time consuming post

This graphic below shows clearly the problem of trading high correlation systems. (it was time consuming to write & I'm assuming it going to take a lot longer to read & unpack how I trade)


The analysis 'Buy' report below (The first report) shows 4 very important things:

1. What positions to buy (SAR & EVN) Signal generated on 11th Jan, Friday - Purchased on 14th Jan, Monday (VWAP = opening price)

2. The quantity to buy of (SAR - 8,200 shares) & (EVN - 6,472 shares)

3. What price to offer in the pre-action for (SAR - $3.05) & (EVN - $3.87) Settled at (SAR - $3.00) & (EVN - $3.81)

4. What strategy gave me the "Buy signal" (SAR got the signal from BBO & Darvas) whereas (EVN got the signal from Darvas only)


Signals

1. (SAR) got the buy signal from the BBO strategy & also got a signal from the DARVAS strategy. The BlueWren strategy didn't acknowledge the signal at all.

2. (EVN) received it signal from the DARVAS strategy only. The BlueWren strategy didn't pick up a signal at all, only Darvas.


The original correlation issue using $50k positions

1. I would be holding $100k position in (SAR) & liquidity & slippage would now be an issue for me but after the captains advice this issue is resolved.

2. (EVN) these is no correlation in this example so a $50k position would have been taken.


Two analysis reports that are exactly the same (The report I see & the other with scribble on it)

After looking at the Amibroker analysis report I shouldn't have written on it as it doesn't look like a clean report. I make another without the scribble.


1. Amibroker [Explore] analysis report (buy signal - actual position currently being held)

(EVN) I'm in this trade at the moment & this chart show the actual Buy Signal Bar & the actual Buy Bar.

The issue is now fixed

I trust this explains why you shouldn't trade high correlated strategies.
