Hi I hope someone can give me a quick answer ? Why would the results differ between a. pct from high < -15 and b. stop loss using 15 % trailing stop Should be the same shouldn't it ???

Depending on what your re-balance period is set to, there can be a significant difference. PctFromHi is a Sell Rule and therefore only triggers during a re-balancing period. The Stop Loss function is independent of your re-balancing period and scans the market daily. It will trigger in between re-balancing periods if the Stop Loss % is reached. I'm sure everyone has differing results, but my performance has always been better when using the Trailing Stop Loss, rather than the PctFromHi. Hope this helps... |
