Guys, with regards to my old thread about Swing Trading system for Nifty, there were many major flaws hence decided to quit that system and continue with my old system that am familiar with. I have back tested it with 6 years of data from 2008 to 2013 October.

System Methodology: Using Super Trend

The Excel sheet contains the detailed list about every trades of 6 years of data, trade type, trade executed time, profit each month, maximum loss in a trade, maximum consecutive loss etc. The backtest results are updated with all time frames, 5 Mins, 15 Mins, 30 Mins and 1 Hr

Kindly review the results and backtest by yourself and Choose the Time Frame that suits you & use it if you are comfortable with it.


Results Summary:

Hello Cubt

When we take back testing results we forget to check if we would get a fill at the price the back tests are showing . . .

Besides the trading Cost, Slippage is a big concern but that is know and acknowledged by everyone.
I have seen many people back testing do not even consider Forwardization charges/costs?

2008 to 2013, 5 years => 60 months => that will cost you 1500 to 1800 points to shift your futures position from one expiry to next
2100 trades should cost you 6300 points (1.5 points per trade entry & exit) in brokerage & taxes
minimum slippage can be consider at 4200 points ( avg slippage 1 point per trade i.e. entry & exit)

Without all these how does one arrive at a realistic estimation?

Cheers

Happy, Cubt has mentioned in the 30 min. results that the figures are actual trades with real money !
I agree with you on Cost of Trades and slippage. However the shifting of futures position is not always against us, usually when a Short position is shifted it turns out to be favourable as next Month NF are Shorted at higher rates and current month covered Lower !

Back Test may not give you true Picture.

Trading based on 30 Minutes Candle......

Take last 2 trades of nifty, where is the buy level and where is the sell signal....where you would have initiated the buy and sell......

Last 30 minutes sell below 6153 (candle closing basis), whether shall u take trade at 5975 at 11.30 candle on friday ?. i.e.almost 80 points below the sell level ?
