It's always great to see simple filters presented for analysis, especially with full backtesting and analysis. I look forward to modelling it in Excel this weekend, and I'll be sure to share my results.

I have « merged » the two previous filters. Then I’ve done a study focusing on coupounded annual return and consistency of Monte-Carlo average return when shifting numerical parameters.

I end up with this set of rules, regarding SPY and SH :

Stratasearch entry code
// is bear ?
((mov(symbol(^spx,close),10,Simple) < mov(symbol(^spx,close),200,Simple)) and
//entry SPY or SH
(cmf(14) < 0))
or
// is bull ?
((mov(symbol(^spx,close),10,Simple) > mov(symbol(^spx,close),200,Simple)) and
//choose SPY only
(mov(close,10,Simple) > mov(close,200,Simple)) and
//entry SPY
(adx(8) > pdi(8) or adx(8) > mdi(8)) and
(symbol(^VIX, qst(12)) < 0)))


Stratasearch exit code
// is bear ?
((mov(symbol(^spx,close),10,Simple) < mov(symbol(^spx,close),200,Simple)) and
(cmf(14) > 0))
or
// is bull ?
((mov(symbol(^spx,close),10,Simple) > mov(symbol(^spx,close),200,Simple)) and
(adx(8) < pdi(8) and adx(8) < mdi(8)))


Running these rules against SPY and SH from 01/01/2007 to 05/07/2014 leads to CAR of 41%, a max drawdown of 16 %, whereas the Montecarlo average annual return is 76% (and very consistent with respect to parameter shifting).

I have tried to translate it to a stockfetcher filter

FETCHER[
symlist(SPY,SH)
draw ma(10)
draw ma(200)
set{isBull, count(cma(ind(^SPX,close),10) > cma(ind(^SPX,close),200),1)}
set{isBear, count(cma(ind(^SPX,close),10) < cma(ind(^SPX,close),200),1)}
add column isBull
draw isBull
/* buy in BEAR market */
set{buy_bear0,count(cmf(14) < 0,1)}
set{buy_bear1,buy_bear0 * isBear}
set{buy_bear2,count(buy_bear1 > 0,1)}
/* buy in BULL market */
set{qstickvix, IND(^VIX,QStick(12))}
set{buy_bull0,count(qstickvix < 0,1)}
set{buy_bull1,count(round(ADX(8)) > round(PDI(8)),1)}
set{buy_bull2,count(round(ADX(8)) > round(MDI(8)),1)}
set{buy_bull3,buy_bull1 + buy_bull2}
set{buy_bull4, buy_bull3 * buy_bull0}
set{buy_bull5, buy_bull4 * isBull}
set{isSPYinBull, count(ma(10) > ma(200),1)}
set{buy_bull6, buy_bull5 * isSPYinBull}
set{buy_bull7,count(buy_bull6 > 0,1)}
/* buy ? */
set{buy_to_open0, buy_bear2 + buy_bull7}
set{buy_to_open,count(buy_to_open0 > 0,1)}
draw buy_to_open
/* sell in BEAR market */
set{sell_bear0,count(cmf(14) > 0,1)}
set{sell_bear1,sell_bear0 * isBear}
set{sell_bear2,count(sell_bear1 > 0,1)}
/* sell in BULL market */
set{sell_bull1,count(round(ADX(8)) < round(PDI(8)),1)}
set{sell_bull2,count(round(ADX(8)) < round(MDI(8)),1)}
set{sell_bull3,sell_bull1 * sell_bull2}
set{sell_bull4, sell_bull3 * isBull}
set{sell_bull5,count(sell_bull4 > 0,1)}
/* sell ? */
set{sell_to_close0, sell_bear2 + sell_bull5}
set{sell_to_close,count(sell_to_close0 > 0,1)}
draw sell_to_close]

However, the trades are differents from those indicated by Stratasearch. Can someone help me to check if there is an error in my SF script ?

I don't know why the filter is not clickable. I used Fetcher followed by [ and ].

Compare the results from your SF backtest with what the filter itself tells you to do, and what the SF backtest did with the results from the SF filter. I don't trust the SF backtest results as well as I trust the SS or my own coding in Excel.

Your filter probably has too many nested if statements for me to be able to run it with my basic subscription.

frsrblch - how did your spreadsheet work out?

I haven't had as much time as I would have liked for this one, so it's a little crude. I executed trades using SSO and 1/SSO because I wanted leverage but didn't take the time to add in data from SDS. It won't load properly in your browser; you'll have to download it and open in Excel.

Can anyone explain why prior to 2008 the results are not as good?
I am not a scientist (as some of you are here) and cannot figure the difference in one
time period vs. another - post 2008 vs. pre 2008 (say 2000 - 2005).
Thank you and I am VERY MUCH looking forward to your findings.
Cheers

@frsrblch

It' seems that your coding in excel is confirming my study in SS, though with your 2x leverage results are more dramatic.

My feeling is that the bearish part of my system is well rendered by SF (cmf(14)), whereas the bullish part (adx) is not correct in SF.

@ jackmack

I really don't know why the system is not well performing before 2008. To be honest, I have no access to SH in stratasearch before 2008, so I have not done the test in bear market. I can try.

I like it. I like it a lot. Simple!

What prompted you to look at the ^VIX as an entry part of your filter. Just curious.

Thanks.
