@fjpenney It almost seems too good to be true, I don’t think I’ve seen any established systematic trader out there publishing a system with a Calmar of 2.23 and yet a cagr so high, at least that’s not some overfit job. Had better run it through 2008-09, make sure it doesn’t wipe you out!

@baileyinvests You need some defensive assets to smooth the ride, ie an allocation to energy right now, hang in there

Sneak preview of tomorrow's post on: 'The Retirement Portfolio'. A bumpy but solid YTD as we move into the second half.

Not in the retirement portfolio it doesn’t, 12.5% is my worst ever drawdown in its history. Simple ETF tactical asset allocation.

[Morgan Housel @morganhousel]

A 12% drawdown happens almost every year. But the speed and consistently of this is pretty wild.

@GavBlaxberg Couldn’t agree more yet the oddity is people are the least interested in boring methods yet they are usually best for most investors

If you invest in any way and you don’t know what the Calmar ratio is, I suggest you visit my site. The Calmar ratio essentially tells you if your method suits your psychology and life stage. Learn more at ‘The Retirement Portfolio’.

If you’re trusting a strategy with your retirement savings, ask to see the daily drawdown—not just the monthly one.

[The Retirement Portfolio @RetirePortfolio]

🚩 One statistic I always look for before trusting any backtest:

Daily maximum drawdown.

Many strategies only quote month-end drawdowns, which can make declines appear much smaller than investors actually experienced.

The biggest risk to your retirement isn't low returns.

It's the drawdown you don't recover from.

That's the philosophy behind my new publication, The Retirement Portfolio.

@VeganRecovering You the poster and most people in the comments have no idea what you are talking about auto immune disease causes stomach acidity to fall which impedes iron absorption so it has nothing to do with diet. Stop promoting crap just because you had a experience that is not related

[The Retirement Portfolio @RetirePortfolio]

Remember when we told for years the market is too concentrated on the mag7 and when they go it all tumbles down and etf investors are screwed… well, oh

[The Retirement Portfolio @RetirePortfolio]

@thechartist Is it still long gold now? Or does it have other defensive assets to help out? It seems like gold is reverting to its old self maybe

[The Retirement Portfolio @RetirePortfolio]

@JimWall84 The drop is pretty crazy considering the inline update

[The Retirement Portfolio @RetirePortfolio]

@thechartist When you quote a MAR ratio for your monthly systems, is this based on the worst drawdown at month end? Ie month end might be only say 8% down but in the middle of that month the peak was say 12% down, thanks
