About this strategy

XBot is a fully automated price inefficiency capturing quantitative strategy operating on a basket of large market cap American equities. High volume and high volatility equities are selected for the basket, resulting in approximately 50 symbols in the basket. The strategy trades all signals on all symbols simultaneously resulting in frequent overlapping of previous trades.

XBot takes advantage of a long term pricing inefficiency, testing has been done back to the 1950s to determine the persistence of the inefficiency being captured. XBot watches all the symbols in the basket continually and enters infrequently, resulting in low transaction costs. This is not a typical quantitative strategy operating at high frequency. The pricing inefficiency XBot takes advantage of is relatively rare but highly effective.

XBot uses stops based on the underlying price, risk is never unbounded and there is no averaging down done.

Why the big DD during COVID?
I was on a 50k account which is over leveraged for the strategy, ideally 100k is used to start with but Collective2 charged extra for that so I did not.

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.
