nodoodahs,your thouhgt about ATR is very intelligent,yes,in general,low price results in a relative low price range in any market state,in this case,it's fine to use point-based price series. AFJ Garner,neither CSI nor blox provides unadjusted or spot data of my country's markets,so I have to collec...

Adrian77,sorry to reply so late. ATR is a great tech,but in some situation,percent move is better,for example,a 200 points move when the price is 1200 may be a huge move,but a it's only a minor step when the price is 4000. So it maybe better when applying both atr and percent move together,and selec...

hi,ted,i'm interested in your words "...Why does Mark Johnson calculate and print a half dozen different goodness figures? Why did g.c. invent the g.c. Ratio? ..."
could you please post the links about Mark Johnson's figures and g.c.Ratio?
I could find them myself.
regards.

indirect way to use percent-based indicators on BAC data?

From the algorithm,ony point-based indicators could be used directly on the back-adjusted continuous data,this bring much discommodiousness,is there any indirect way to use percent-based or absolute-price-level-based indicators on this kind of data? For the judgement of "if price go above 5% of...

Could percent-based indicators be used on RAD futures data?

The RAD futures data from Mr. Strideman is a kind of continuous data which multiply a factor on the the data that should be adjustd,instead of moving it up or down to eliminate the price gaps. Strideman said,the RAD data could keep the percent-based relationship between price data.Well, in the case ...

Got it,thank you,7432.

The point is historical reality v.s. trading reality.
And I think,mybe it's reasonable to remove the bias from inflation when there are more than 10 years,but others bias is from the adjusting rules of continuous data,it's inherent.

up or down bias in back adjust continuous data?

Hi,guys,recently I read an article about continuous data,which said, "When early contract prices in a concatenated set are significantly less than their real contract counterparts, they tend to produce a bias that in simulated trading would heavily favor the act of buying over selling. In addit...

Trading on Back-Adjusted continuous futures data,one could get the profit from the difference between entry price and exit price,in this case,it seems that the trading/simulation result have nothing to do with contango and backwardation,for example,(2760-2639)=(3012-2891).

but maybe the first one which should be made clear is,how to calculate risk?
should I calculate risk by statistics,or VaR,or straightforward $ or percent calculation?
The following monitoring and adjusting method should be designed based on the foundation of the type of risk calculation.
