A couple posts ago, I looked at Trading the Equity Curve and found interesting results but nothing that made me decide this works for me. Using the equity curve to decide when to stop trading a strategy just sounds like it should work. But for me it is always about testing. I cannot count how often I thought an idea would help the results only to see them dramatically hurt them. Remember test everything!
I have been thinking about other methods to use to trade the curve. I also wondered maybe it is the strategies I tested against that caused less than stellar results. I am working on a SP500 weekly mean reversions strategy with an average hold of three months. Maybe new methods of trading the curve or the different strategy will give better results.
