Last week I shared with you a story of my past two trading heroes, Mike and Bob.

You already know this story, but let me also tell you what happened just shortly AFTER that…

Just after we published that post, I read it again, and I actually started thinking:

Now that I’m doing pretty well in trading, and have even launched my own hedge fund…

…who are my trading heroes right now?

So I started thinking, when, all of sudden, an email arrived in my inbox…

It was from Craig, one of our very first students, and it said exactly this (I’m republishing the email with Craig’s approval):

“I just wanted to say a quick note of appreciation.

I’m still finding more uses for Market Internals!

I’ve recently been looking to diversify my trend following systems with some mean reversion systems. I developed a promising short-only mean reversion equities strategy, which originally had a raw MAR of 0.6.

In the in-sample period I noticed it suffered particularly from left-tail risk events when the market made particularly strong, sustained, up moves.

I decided to try my daily-timeframe advance-decline market indicator, to filter out setups when the market had a broad-based up-day on the day of the setup (i.e >65% stocks up yesterday).

Market Internals had a dramatic impact.

On out-of-sample, the number of trades reduced by 30%.

MAR increased from 0.6 to 1.4.

Max drawdown decreased from 19% to 9.5% and average annual return increased from 11.4% to 13.7%.

Many thanks!

Craig

And then it clicked for me:

These are my new heroes.
