Product Overview:

This strategy is based on a statistical advantage achieved through a combination of both mean reversion and linear regression. I have therefore coined the term Linear Reversion, hence the name of the strategy. It has a built-in volatility filter and comes with a user-defined fixed stop-loss to limit losses and drawdown. The strategy is also very suitable for clients looking for a lower risk strategy that can be traded with as little as 1000 euros.

Proven track record since launch!

Linear Reversion Strategy

This strategy is based on a statistical advantage achieved through a combination of both mean reversion and linear regression. Mean reversion in financial terms assumes that price will tend to converge to an average price over time. Using mean reversion as a timing strategy involves both the identification of the trading range as well as the computation of the average price using quantitative methods. Linear regression on the other hand is one of the most basic and commonly used methods for predictive analysis. Together these methods provide a great statistical tool for identifying high probability mean reversion opportunities.

It has also specifically been developed with the idea of keeping things as simple and uncomplicated as possible. For this reason it features only 2 primary variable inputs which dictate the start of the trading hours and the maximum allowed loss. Further than this it has 2 secondary variable inputs that can be adjusted to suit a whole range of different instruments and markets.

In preparation for the public launch of the strategy I have been running in it in parallel on both the AUDUSD and AUDCHF markets since the 8th of April (as can be seen in the screenshots from the gallery). The advantages this gave me is that not only could I verify the initial back tested results and edge of the strategy in a Live environment but also get a better idea of the true spread involved. As an example adjusting the back test date to match the period for which I ran the strategy live, I was able to conclude that the true average spread on the AUDUSD market was in fact 2 points compared to the IG quoted value of 0.6. I could then use this new spread to run a more accurate back test for the strategy to see how it would have performed under more realistic conditions in the past. The back test attached to the gallery is therefore based on this ‘true spread’ and validates the robust nature of the strategy.

 

According to the performance calendar we see positive results each year for the past 8 years with an expected average annual return of 16.8%, this result is also achieved by maintaining a high winning rate of ~70% and a gain to loss ratio of 1.46. Other noteworthy aspects are that the average gain is 58% bigger than the average loss. And the largest win is 35% bigger than the worst loss.

 

Here is a screenshot from the actual love results for 2023 so far:

    Excellent strategy. It’s been active in real terms on my account since the beginning, and I can’t complain: the purchase of the system has been amply reimbursed. So much so, in fact, that I’ve switched to 2 contracts, as the R/R seems to be well under control. A word of warning, however: the security stop is quite a long way off, which could result (but never has) in a fairly substantial loss. A glimpse of the system’s real-life execution on my account: Pair: AUD/USD Mini Gain: EUR572.22 Number of positions taken: 37 Winning positions: 32 Success rate: 86% Average gain: EUR23.65 Average loss: EUR-36.92 Gain/loss ratio: 0.64:1 Profitability: 1.42 In short, I recommend it with my eyes closed! (even if the past is no guide to the future, of course :o)
