It doesn't matter what win/loss ratio you have. Same position sizing can be used for both strategies. The position sizing algorithm is highly individual, depends on many factors. There is not right or wrong answer. And how many contracts you buy or sell depend also on the % of capital you are willin...

Crude Oil

Does anyone have an idea why is the expiration day of CL earlier than first notice day?

For all another commodities the FND is earlier than expiration day.

Any ideas how to improve this system?

CTAs

AFJ, it would be interesting to compare CAGR and DD of CTAs with and without commissions.

Any idea where to find such data?

So i could have an idea what is the real performance of such CTAs, and i would have idea which numbers are realistic for me as TF.

"Yes, we charge a performance fee only on "net", new high watermarks."

So it would be interesting "how much" it was during last 10 years.

Dunn

I selected Dunn because the fee structure is simple, just 25% percent from profitable month, i was contacting the office if Dunn and they told me they are not charging any other fee. So one example, there is a month with 10% profit. (after fee). So it is actualy 75% of the real profit. Dunn took alr...

In last few weeks, i am watching a lot of traders searching for a benchmark or a performance of different trend followers of TF funds. Some traders are comparing their performance with different TF funds. What should be noticed here, is that the results are after fees! So it means, that the real per...
