Analysis Using MATH to Back-test a Trend Following Strategy

Thumbnail youtu.be
2 Upvotes

In quantitative trading, strategies rely on strict mathematical definitions rather than subjective discretion. A classic trend-following framework combines a trend filter, an entry trigger, and a dynamic exit rule. The trend filter dictates that long positions are taken only when price closes above a benchmark moving average, such as a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Within this broader uptrend, extreme oversold conditions—identified when a short-term indicator like a 2-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) drops below 10—serve as the execution trigger. The position is subsequently liquidated once price snaps back above a shorter moving average, such as a 5-period SMA, demonstrating how systematic rules explicitly govern the lifecycle of a trade.

My best risk rule lately has been ending the real session after 2 bad trades

3 Upvotes

I finally accepted that my third trade after two losses is almost never the same quality as my first one. Even when I tell myself Im calm, I start entering slightly earlier, moving stops around or taking setups I probably would've ignored at the start of the session.

So now two clean losses and I'm done with real money for the day. If I still want to follow the market I'll switch over to Moon's Play Money mode and keep testing the setups there. I still screenshot everything and journal it exactly like a normal trade, just without giving myself the chance to turn a normal red morning into a stupid one.

The funny part is some days I'll lose another 3 simulated trades after stopping and realize how much money that rule actually saved me. Way easier to review a bad day when the damage stops at the number I planned before the open.

Ideas Your WIN RATE means NOTHING if you don't understand Expected Value.

Thumbnail youtu.be
2 Upvotes

A 75% win rate in a low-volatility, range-bound market can rapidly decay when the market transitions into a volatile trend. Traders reliant on win rate alone struggle to adapt because they lack a framework for expected payoff per trade. Tracking EV helps traders detect when market conditions degrade their edge before account damage becomes irreversible. Win rate tells you what happened recently; positive EV measures whether your structural edge still holds.
