There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider
whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read,
understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker
before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
I don’t know if anyone here follows or reads Laurent Bernut, but here’s a good article he wrote on how he evaluates trading performance. It might be a good tool in the toolbox to use when evaluating systems in your portfolio, or if you’re considering adding a new system.
I downloaded the CSV trade data for a few of the systems I’m subscribed to and calculated the CSR and the Tail Ratio (I also calculated the Tharp SQN while I was at it, although that’s something else altogether).
I was a bit surprised at some of the results. Some of the strategies I thought would rank higher for CSR and TR didn’t, and also vice versa.
