Normal
Along with the Action Strategy, the HappyCat & the Panda Strategy have run their course1. The Action Strategy was developed from the posts of [USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] & it was a simple exercise if one could follow a mechanical system blindly. It takes mental strength to trade this way.2. After the Action Strategy came to an end I was looking for a new project for the thread. The HappyCat Strategy was being "paper traded" at the time & it was suggested to trade it live. It was an exercise to post real results to stimulate interest if the strategy would turn out to be successful or crash & burn (watching it unfold in real-time). The Portfolio sizing was restricted to what I believed most members viewed as the "norm" when paper trading or backtesting a new strategy. ($100k X 20) positions.3. The Panda Strategy, well I've given it a go. (35days or 8 weeks to be precise). It was an exercise to discover if a good weekly strategy would be able to trade successfully on a daily basis. It's doing okay, but not to the level of its bigger brother trading the weekly periodicity. I'm biased, I prefer to trade weekly as it's the equivalent of boxing in slow motion.The Zebra StrategyI started this exercise (with permission) for a few reasons. I've lost focus that this thread is to help those just starting out, wanting to trade but don't know where to start. Most have money lying idle & sometimes a "nudge" is all it takes to put that money to work. It's challenging to trade a small portfolio as the commission costs are a drag on the performance of any strategy. Trading the Zebra Strategy will be a challenge but it's a foot in the door for Mrs Skate & might be for others. This week will be the week the strategy will be full.Future posting of the Zebra StrategySome might have missed the boat, others might want to see the strategy unfold further to gain the confidence to take a plunge, so I'll post differently from the start this week. I'll display the weekly signals rather than the positions that are purchased or sold. The format change is so new members to the thread can pick up anywhere along the way & not limited to a closed system. Posting weekly signals is not a "signal service" but for educational value by following along with the entry & exit positions. This idea is in the same vein as [USER=13908]@peter2[/USER] - displaying securities of interest.Skate.
