Hello,
My algo underperforms the benchmark (SPY) in the past few years, but dows well both on the upside and downside otherwise. I think it is because of a market anomaly where companies with poor earnings are rising whereas old bluechips with good earnings are not doing well.
So, I would like to know if this result (or my algorithm which generated it) is of any relevance?
thanks

106 came from hovering over the chart while 120 from using this on it, with .9 from 908209 of $1000000. So if the 91790 unused cash were utilized then more blue area under the curve. It is not easy to understand, as leverage hit 1.04 yet max risk only around ~900k, so I'd say early on, the high point in leverage was from shorting a bit high in relation to cash and longs. Notice that leverage value of 1.04 did not ding overall pvr, it is based on max risk instead. The downturn mid-2014 may have been partial fills trying to close. If you'd like to investigate, try starting with 100k for fewer partial, and another route is track_orders, setting a valid trading date from just before that downturn in its 'start' list. From there, hopefully a pattern of certain stocks involved in the dip can be deciphered and perhaps a new pipeline factor might screen some of them.
