Automated Strategies Risk/return Profiles Examples

I have always been interested in seeing what other people can come up with when it comes to fully automated trading strategies. By that I do not mean them actually revealing their strategy logic (why would they?) but rather providing a glimpse of what risk/return/drawdown etc. their strategy can achieve.

So here is what I would like to see ideally in this thread. Whoever has a strategy that is fully automated (purely mechanical), please share some of your backtested (or better yet traded) results. The only requirement I pose here: only include OUT OF SAMPLE tests of your systems.

By the same token, here is what I wouldn't like to see: a bunch of people saying it's impossible to come up with a purely mechanical trading strategy.

To be fair I am attaching a snapshot of one of my strategies, I hope to see many others.

Re: Automated Strategies Risk/return Profiles Examples

Thanks Tams. Could you also include an equity curve for that system?

Hello jurotraderslab. I have included one of my own strategies for the Mini Russell 2000 futures contract. This is a 12 month back test with a 4.5 point ($450) stop loss.

Best of luck,
crossbones

Re: Automated Strategies Risk/return Profiles Examples

Tams, I would be curious to know exactly what you prefer to look at in evaluating a viable system?

Thanks,
James
