Adrian Reid explains that trading systems work better in some market conditions than others. Backtest whether to turn systems on and off using filters, or run them all the time. He uses a boating metaphor to show the difference between calm and rough conditions.
Have you ever thought that there's days that you should be in the market and there's days that you shouldn't be in the market? There's periods of time where it makes sense to trade and there's periods of time where it just makes sense to stay out.
So right now I'm on a boat cruising around the island of Kauai in Hawaii, and we're going to one of the most beautiful stretches of coastland on the island. Some people say the world, I don't know, I'll tell you later when we get there. But today is one of the days that it makes sense to be out on the water. I mean, look how calm the ocean is. It's amazing deep blue color and sky is clear, a little bit of wind, but basically low swell and it's just a beautiful day to be out in the ocean. But it's not always like this. I mean, like I've said in a couple of videos now, the markets get volatile, the markets get rough, and there's going to be periods of time where your systems perform, where your trading rules perform. There's going to be periods of time when they don't. And you need to know for your trading strategy when you should be going into the market and when you shouldn't. Today for me is a perfect day for boating. I don't really like boating that much. I mean, I can get seasick, but I just don't like the ups and downs and I don't really like the thought of the boat capsizing and drowning, if I'm completely honest with you. But today is perfect for me. So I'm happy to be out here on the ocean cruising around. And similarly for different trading strategies, there's different market conditions that the trading strategies work. There's different sets of conditions in which you should be following those systems versus those systems should be turned off. Now, one of the things you need to do in your back testing is identify if it's better for that strategy for you to turn it on and off in different sets of conditions or better to leave the strategy on full time no matter what's going on in the market. And it's very easy to back test. And one of the things that I do in the trader success system is talk about how you can implement filters that turn systems on or off depending on what the market is doing. Some systems, that's a great idea. It makes a lot of difference. For other systems, it's better to just ignore the market and follow the rules because the system performs better and makes a lot more money. But the trick is you don't know unless you back test those ideas properly.
