A very common question I get, is “when should I turn off a strategy?” Given the very volatile markets we have had the last few months, I can relate. Some strategies can thrive in these high volatility markets. While others can suffer.
In the June 2020 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities, Perry Kaufman writes an article about using the historical volatility of the equity curve to decide when to turn off a strategy. I always read Perry’s articles because they are full of good ideas and this was another one that I liked and had not tried before.
No spreadsheet for this post.
