Benchmark

Does your trading pass the seasonality test?Are you consistently beating the standard "Buy and Hold" benchmark? Check your performance against the next most common strategy: Buy at the start of the holiday season and close in the new year. By default, the strategy starts with $100,000 and risks 25% of the account on each swing trade. Commission is set to be 0.5% of each trade. You can tweak the direction of trades by adjusting the first setting. Tweak the holding period by changing the Entry and Exit months. Red plot: Balance of account Orange plot: Equity of account
