US High-Frequency Power Setups® Portfolio

A Short Term Trading Strategy for Experienced Traders

The US High-Frequency Power Setups® Portfolio is for advanced traders only. This computer-driven strategy identifies stocks in strong uptrends that have experienced short-term minor weakness. It looks to buy that weakness in the expectation that the longer-term trend higher will resume. Positions are held for an average of 4 days. Nick Radge trades this strategy.

 

About the US High-Frequency Power Setups®

The US High-Frequency portfolio is a short term, long-only, mean reversion strategy with an average hold period of 4 days. It is designed to provide a high level of consistency by doing large amounts of transactions with minimal holding times to exploit the strategy’s edge. The strategy trades the Russell 1000 universe.

This portfolio attempts to buy weak stocks during an upwardly trending broader market. It measures a specific level of weakness at which a near term bounce becomes more probable. If and when the desired bounce occurs, the strategy will exit positions quickly to lower exposure. This strategy will only ever have a maximum of 20 open positions.

 

Position Sizing and Portfolio Selection

The US High-Frequency strategy is designed to operate with 20 positions of equal size. To maximise returns the highest allocation recommended is 10% at 50% margin. However, to lower risk, the allocation should be set to 5% without margin. ** WARNING: The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

PAST RESULTS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

Information containing hypothetical or simulated results has limitations and may not represent actual trading. Since the trades may not have actually been executed in the market, the results may under or over-compensate for the impact (if any) of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs are generally designed with the benefit of hindsight and without the need to predict which way the market may turn. No representation is made that any trading strategy will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
