Recognise changes in the "behaviour" of a financial time series (Trading on the news) - page 9

...Even "buy and hold" with a volatility index hedge shows excellent returns for medium and long term investors. Maybe you've been looking in the wrong place?
Are there any results? Where can I see them?

Are there any results? Where can they be found?

I personally don't have any ready-made tests. The idea itself was voiced by one of the speakers at the SmartLab forum in St. Petersburg (a real meeting). When he showed me the chart I even choked on my free coffee - it is more or less the same ascending trend, and in fact the strategy is ready to work. In principle it is not difficult to make up a similar spread and see its characteristics.
 
C-4:

You yourself have written about your own failures, that any system you have developed is beginning to "go stale". You are the only econometrician that I know, and judging by the range of problems that econometric methods encounter (you yourself have described it perfectly) one can draw conclusions about the low practical utility of this science. I don't want to start holy wars, it's just strange that in two years you haven't found a single elementary TA strategy, which would more or less steadily make money. Needless to say, even the moving average manages to make money. Even "buy and hold" with a volatility index hedge shows excellent returns for medium and long term investors. Maybe you've been looking in the wrong place?

I guess I didn't make it very clear.

For many years I have used TA and the robot that still works is TA. it is to TA robots that the complaint is that they "go stale". That is why I have stopped working on TA for 2 years now. I don't have a finished robot on econometrics, but what I have is far more valuable than anything I had on TA. These circumstances give me the right to compare. Read my posts and articles where I compare TA and econometrics purely substantively.

For the record I note that I started trading checks on the RTSB and CSRUB, if that tells you anything.

Once again, a word of advice, do not talk about something you do not know at all, let alone give others advice on what to use.

 
The most useful were the comments :-)

The country of the Soviets collapsed long ago. It's up to everyone to decide what to use. I just showed that TA strategies do not go stale, that they are effective, and not a little worse than any other approach. As you can see, we have diametrically opposed views on this, so I'll leave you to it - no further discussion is necessary.
 

Actually purely on the subject of the Hearst Indicator.

Do you think that econometrics will provide a way to build a system that works forever?
 
Avals:

Do you think that econometrics will provide a way to build a perpetually working (non-touching) system?

I don't think so. You just start to understand what you are doing.

For example, mash-ups, which in econometric language are regressions. There are weighted dummies. You take the weights and pick them up, maybe with a tester.

In regression the weights are always matched according to ISC, but besides that we get the rate of each coefficient, the probability that it can be equal to zero, R-squared and other information about the mask. If you don't have such information you can reason that you can make a TA-based TS which will not go bad, and if you have such you will be sure that whatever you do, the TA-based TS will definitely go bad, and you will know it by zeroing out the depo. And the beauties of the mashcuts will not give any warning.

With econometrics I can describe the whole problem and as of today I know that the whole problem has no solution. It is possible to solve and account for parts of this problem, which will significantly reduce risk and predict a depo drain much earlier.

 
May faa1947 forgive me for the hard-won contention, but if you look closely between the lines and throw out the introductory words it turns out:

Purely my IMXO.
