hello all..
I have programmed a profit booking condition in the system..some benefits of it..
Merits
1. The system will not always have a position to be carried at EOD
2. The system will no more be a Stop-and -Reverse system (SAR)
3. Profit booking on some levels may allow profits to be booked at almost the HIGHEST points of the day..
4. Consistency of returns has been checked over the back-tested period...
5. The best part is the profits in 6 months has increased to 6700 points in the 6 months as compared to 5500 points from the earlier back-test...average profits moving to 1100 points...
Demerits
1. Mid-way profit booking, though defined by the system will at times pull us out from a strong trending market.. We will not be riding thee wave all the long..I plan to program that as well in coming days.. As of now, that is not included in the current back-test.. But hope to do it soon..!!
Despite the demerit covered above, if the consistency has been maintained and an increase in returns is seen, we can accept it, I believe..
