SPY KISS 195 min stats vs buy and hold

    Posted by matt on 4th of Sep 2023 at 08:05 pm

    Here's the SPY on a 195 min 1/2 day chart with KISS statistics vs buy and hold

    On the table I show various things such as % gain, profit factor, # trades per year, % profitable, and max draw down and compare vs simple buy and hold 

    overall the KISS beats the buy and hold (not every year of course. However, the main benefit is the lack of draw down. Max draw down this year for buy and hold id about -9%, vs -1.9% for the 195 min KISS

    2022 SPX max DD was -28%, vs -5.7% for KISS
    2020 SPX max DD -33% vs KISS -5.4%
    2018  SPX max DD -20% vs KISS -3% 

    you can look at the table for more info

    regarding the KISS systems -

    regarding the KISS systems - remember the main benefit on the indexes is the very low draw down vs buy and hold (typically 5 to 6 fold less draw down), so on some of the years where buy and hold made a bit more, the more important thing is the very small draw downs.  However over the long run the KISS made higher gains in the majority of years overall

    also - the way I could boost the returns higher is adding some of the mean reversion systems to the KISS. Not all of them, only the hard to trigger mean reversion systems (maybe only 5 systems out of the 22) that might only trigger 3 - 6 times a years, those would add another 5% or 10% or 15% to each of the annual returns and ever year would then beat the market

    Are you planning to add

    Are you planning to add the 195 hart to the site Systems pull-down list?

    hello yes I'm working on

    hello yes I'm working on some big ideas for those KISS systems. What I may do is add an extra tab to the KISS tables - right now I'm in the process of building various ones: QQQ 195 min, SPY 195 min and will make others. 

    The stats are pretty impressive: you basically capture all or more gains than buy and hold but with 1/5 to 1/6 or less of the draw down - the average draw down on the QQQ KISS is only about 3% over 20 years, vs close to 20% for buy and hold, and that's just the average as there's a -52% year, -30.5%, -36.5% during 3 of those years 

    Amazing.  Would love to see
