Thank you for sharing. How do you define bullish and bearish inventories? Can you post the ultra.csv? Looking forward to learning more. I have a commodities trading friend that has been trading reports similar to this for 10+ yrs. I never considered it w/ quantopian. But I think it's a good idea.

pretty awesome risk profile. How can we mimic the CVS?

Agreed it looks great but in the end hard to judge if the real input isn't visible.

I would also like to see the csv to make sure you aren't introducing any lookahead bugs.. I unfortunately assume that is the case as the curve looks too good to be true for simple inventory system.

Hey John,

Looks good. Wondering how it performed at the different ratios for profit taking and stop loss that you tested?

Thanks

Frank

The input trading signal is simply the EIA's weekly crude oil and natural gas inventory reports on Wednesdays and Thursdays, respectively.

No forward looking bias was instituted; it's important to not tailor strategies to backtests - the above mathematical levels and profit taking ratios are determined beforehand and thus are appropriated for all trades.

The interesting thing is this is just a visualization of a backtest using Quantopian. The real treat is the system that can exit at a the best statistically relevant Gaussian level. Remember, speed is the most important thing here, you can have the best model but without the technology to support it, it's no use.

Multiple things are important here. A: We still have no clue what you do in your .csv and how you get to values in it. B: You state speed is important...question is how important? Around the numbers markets are super jumpy and the whole world is eying for trades. So if you need the very best entry yes destined to be failing. But if you have some room for entry could be fine.
