Risk-Adjusted Return by MH Pee
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 24:9 (62-66): Risk-Adjusted Return by MH Pee
Comparing two different trading strategies can be a challenge. Here's a technique that does it.
How do you compare stock trading without using leverage and trading something like futures,
which does involve leverage? You could do two things. First, you can make both portfolios assume the same
amount of risk by adjusting the account size for each portfolio. The larger the account size, the smaller is the risk. If both portfolios have the same risk, then the one with the larger return is better. Second, you can vary the accou...

ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 22:12 (28-36): Trend Trigger Factor by M.H. Pee
Whether you're trading short term or long term, the only way to make money in the market is to position yourself in the direction of the trend.
The markets are mostly random, but they do have a small trend component. It is this trend component that you should take advantage of if you want to make money in the markets.

should do is follow the trend and ride it along until you see...

Yes, trends are important: They help
you make money and they help you
recover your losses.
Because trends are an
important component

identify a trend. It's also crucial to be
able to tell the direction of the current
trend. Although trends can make you the
most money in the shortest time when
you are in sync with them, they can also

Trend Detection Index by M.H. Pee
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Trend Detection Index by M.H. Pee
Can you tell when a trend's begun and when it's ended? You can with this.
The trend detection index (TDI) is used to detect when a trend has begun and when it has come to an end. The TDI can be used as a stand-alone indicator or combined with others; it will perform well in detecting the beginning of trends. However, this does not mean its signals are totally accurate. Protective stops as well as trailing stops must be incorporated to produce a complete mechanical system. These stops are required to protect against large losses when the indicator generates a...
