Rate of Return Calculations

Overview

To comply with NFA regulations, we display Cumulative Rate of Return for strategies with a track record of less than one year. For strategies with longer track records, we display Annualized (Compounded) Rate of Return.

How Cumulative Rate of Return is calculated

= (Ending_equity - Starting_equity) / Starting_equity

Remember that, following NFA requirements, strategy subscription costs and estimated commissions are included in marked-to-market equity calculations.

Strategy Description

This might be a little bit long, but if you’re interested in this strategy, please read it to the end and make sure you understand it.

In this strategy, I primarily buy and hold TQQQ or YANG ETF using 100% of my capital. There’s no minimum amount of capital required to follow this strategy. The amount depends on your risk tolerance. Around 25% of the time, I’ll buy YANG, but most of the time I’ll buy TQQQ. You can follow this strategy manually or with auto trade. I update my position every week on Sunday. Most of the time, the position will not change. But sometimes I do exit my TQQQ position and buy YANG. Once you’re subscribed, you’ll receive my weekly broadcast about my updated position and my live account balance proof.

This strategy have the potential to make you a lot of money, however it is also highly volatile. Therefore, to minimize your risk, you HAVE to combine this strategy with normal investment.

Here is what I meant. Let say currently you have $100.000 invested in SPY (or other S&P500 ETF), using my strategy backtest period from 2010-2-8 to 2021-11-15, your investment will grow to $337.764 which is 3.3x your investment. Long TQQQ in that period will 127x your investment. With my strategy, you’ll 11.144x your investment.

Now, hold on a minute, the strategy return sounds outrageous but hear me out. I don’t expect this strategy to have similar performance to the backtest. But even at just 10% performance of the bactest will 1.114x your investment. However, the drawdown can reach up to 80% or 90%. Investing all of your money in this strategy can be extermely damaging for you.

Therefore, to reduce risk, my suggestion is to allocate no more than 5% of your portfolio in this strategy. Let say you put $95.000 on SPY, and $5.000 on my strategy. From 2010-2-8 to 2021-11-15, your SPY investment will grow to $313.500 (3.3 times), assuming that my strategy can reach 10% of the backtest performance, your $5.000 will grow to $5.570.000 (1.114 times). This is the good case scenario, However, this is not the best case scenario, because the backtest performance is even better. However, you should not expect the best case scenario, even with good case scenario, you should occasionally take some of the return and invest it in SPY. That way, you can secure your gain.

Now, let see the worst case scenario, the strategy fail on the first year which is highly unlikely because 75% of the time, I’ll just long TQQQ, which in a bull market, will go up. Historically, US market have longer bull market than bear market. The real risk is when bear market come, that’s where my ability to manage risk will be tested. But let say the worst actually happen and you lost $5000 or 5% of your overall portfolio, this means you only have $95.000 (or 95% of your portfolio) on SPY which give you $313.500.

Compare that to when you have 100% of your portfolio in SPY, which give you $337.764. That means the maximum cost (including oportunity cost) to invest in my strategy is $337.764 - $313.500 = $24.264, If you make it into a ratio, it is 24% of your initial investment of $100.000. If the good case scenario happens, you’ll make $5.570.000 + $313.500 = $5.883.500. That is 17.000% more than what you make with portfolio 100% allocated only in SPY.

Now, very likely you’re going to get the middle of the road result. I don’t know what that will be for you, but the reason this strategy can handle 80% to 90% drawdown is because 100% return in a year is normal. In good year, 200% return is possible. And having 100% return year over year will get you out of 80% to 90% drawdown in 2 to 3 years. That means, unless you face bear market in your first year of investing in my strategy, and I fail in managing risk, you can very likely double your investment in less than 2 year.

After you double your investment, I highly recommend that you take your initial capital out of my strategy and invest that capital back into SPY. That way, you’ve tremendously reduced your oportunity cost. You effectively invest in my strategy with very minimal risk. Even if my strategy fail, your $100.000 capital is invested in SPY, almost as if my strategy doesn’t exist in the first place. Ofcourse it will still cost you a little bit, but much less than the absolute worst scenario.

That’s why its very important to invest in this strategy only the amount that you’re comfortable to lose. If you find yourself frequently checking the result of my strategy, or you lose sleep because of it, I believe you need to reduce the amount that you risk. Because the volatility will be very high and will take a toll on your mental well being.

It is much better for you to frame this strategy as a set it and forget it strategy. Set up your autotrade and let me be the one who face the high volatility for you. You can check the strategy once every month or three month to see if your investment has doubled.

However, you can also follow my strategy manually, just make sure you only risk the amount of money that you can afford to lose. So you can handle the volatility yourself. The key to success with this strategy is to stick to it long term. Especially during period of high volatility. Don’t get greedy because you win big or get scared because of big percentage losses. The most important thing is to invest money that you won’t bother losing 100% of. That way, you can handle the high volatility with ease.

Remeber, you either lose small part of your portfolio or you win big with small part of your portfolio.

I update my position every week on Sunday. Once you’re subscribed, you’ll receive my weekly broadcast about my updated position and my live account balance proof. 75% of the time I’ll just buy and hold TQQQ, but sometimes when there is opportunity, I’ll close my TQQQ position and buy YANG. Therefore you need to check my position once a week on Sunday. I believe this strategy can give overwhelming positive impact on your portfolio without incurring significant cost.

If you have any question, feel free to send me a message, I’ll answer your question ASAP.

More information about leverage

Collective2 calculates the maximum leverage used by a strategy in each day. We then display the average of these measurements (i.e. the average daily maximum leverage) and the greatest of these measurements (maximum daily leverage).

Leverage is the ratio of total notional value controlled by a strategy divided by its Model Account equity. Generally higher leverage implies greater risk.

Example of calculation:
The Strategy buys 100 shares of stock at $12 per share.
The Model Account equity during that day is $5,000.
The leverage is: $1200 / $5,000 = 0.24

This is a useful measurement, but it should be considered in context. This measurement doesn't take into account important factors, such as when multiple positions are held that are inversely correlated. Nor does the measurement take into account the volatility of the instruments being held.

In addition, certain asset classes are inherently more leveraged than others. For example, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Forex positions are often even more leveraged than futures.

Most values on this page (including the Strategy Equity Chart, above) have been adjusted by estimated trading commissions and subscription costs.

Some advanced users find it useful to see "raw" Model Account values. These numbers do not include any commissions, fees, subscription costs, or dividend actions.

Strategy developers can "archive" strategies at any time. This means the strategy Model Account is reset to its initial level and the trade list cleared. However, all archived track records are permanently preserved for evaluation by potential subscribers.

About the results you see on this Web site

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Material assumptions and methods used when calculating results

The following are material assumptions used when calculating any hypothetical monthly results that appear on our web site.

  • Profits are reinvested. We assume profits (when there are profits) are reinvested in the trading strategy.
  • Starting investment size. For any trading strategy on our site, hypothetical results are based on the assumption that you invested the starting amount shown on the strategy's performance chart. In some cases, nominal dollar amounts on the equity chart have been re-scaled downward to make current go-forward trading sizes more manageable. In these cases, it may not have been possible to trade the strategy historically at the equity levels shown on the chart, and a higher minimum capital was required in the past.
  • All fees are included. When calculating cumulative returns, we try to estimate and include all the fees a typical trader incurs when AutoTrading using AutoTrade technology. This includes the subscription cost of the strategy, plus any per-trade AutoTrade fees, plus estimated broker commissions if any.
  • "Max Drawdown" Calculation Method. We calculate the Max Drawdown statistic as follows. Our computer software looks at the equity chart of the system in question and finds the largest percentage amount that the equity chart ever declines from a local "peak" to a subsequent point in time (thus this is formally called "Maximum Peak to Valley Drawdown.") While this is useful information when evaluating trading systems, you should keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, future drawdowns may be larger than the historical maximum drawdowns you see here.

Trading is risky

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures and forex trading. Online trading of stocks and options is extremely risky. Assume you will lose money. Don't trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
