Grant,
Nice!
How do you get a score above 1 ?

@Alan,

If your cumulative OOS 63day rolling returns (from live start date) is higher than your rolling 63day volatility, your score will be above 1.

@Joakim,

Not entirely correct, there is a minimum of 2% for rolling 63-day volatility therefore cummulative OOS returns should at least be greater than 2% to score above 1.
Reference: scoring

180 entries total. Interesting that there is a huge spike at a score of ~ 0.3.

Not exactly broad participation...hmm? Maybe the Indian folks will find it interesting?

the right most belongs to cream mongoose. There is an empty slot on 1.2. Seem a distance.

Yes, Cream Mongoose is setting the pace. I withdrew to go back to the drawing board. Eventually, I'll get back in (under Off-White Seal).

By the way, I use this to create the histograms:

After creating a histogram, I just do a screen capture, and then post to https://imgur.com/ to create a live link to the image. No accounts, downloads, cost, etc. required. It's taken almost 20 years, but the web is starting to live up to its promise!

Yeah. Cream Mongoose is drinking cocktails at Gold Coast while waiting for us.

Hah! Thanks guys, but not really. Too early to tell in my view. Could just be good ole ‘survivorship luck factor.’ If I can stay in the top decile for another 3-6 months I’ll be very happy!

:)

Wonder what happened to Maroon Hippo, the all time dollar winner? Guess he was creamed by Cream Moongoose. Of the top ten, only Joakim has volatility of around 2% which I think should be what everyone should be shooting for. Orange Possum just joined the 1.2+ scorers and the race is getting tighter. Let's see how it goes now that there are several of us who are gunning for the 2% volatility target. Happy trading everyone!
