Trend Following vs Algo Trading

Every Elliott Wave Plus subscriber receives our trend following charts each night following the close of the U.S stock market. We believe that these trend charts are valuable trading tools, and everyone should be aware of them. But does that make it a perfect system? The short answer is…no.

We take a look at our Daily Trend Report charts in direct comparison to our Nightly Algo trade signals. They might look similar, but the Algo signals have one major advantage. You’ll see why in the video below, which is an excerpt of the previous week’s webinar. Premium Plan subscribers receive the Nightly Algo Report every evening, as well as weekly access to Sid’s Elliott Wave “counts” webinar, bi-weekly screenshots, and the Daily Trend Report.

Quarterly Premium Plan Webinar – July 2020 | A Free Look at our New Algos

Every quarter, we here at ElliottWavePlus.com record a webinar that gives an in depth look at our Premium Plan Nightly Algo Report, which includes nightly conditions on dozens of tradable items. We’ve been particularly excited about the July webinar because the re-optimized 3-year backtest on our algorithms have improved results across the board, as long as slightly larger stops than normal are used to accommodate the generally elevated VIX levels of 2020.  A link below will allow you to download our algo-stats sortable Excel spreadsheet so you can see the backtest and optimization results for yourself. All aspects of the Premium Plan are covered in the webinar recording, and Sid adds additional detail about current market conditions, important future trading dates, and much more.

Exciting New Improvements to our Premium Plan Algos for Subscribers

We want to keep our most valued subscribers up to date on what is going on behind the scenes here at ElliottWavePlus.com.  We are currently re-optimizing the Nightly Report’s algo trade signals to the most current 3-year backtest (6/30/17 thru 6/30/20). Initial backtesting and optimization indicates that the algos generally need to utilize larger stop-losses during recent high volatility. Our combined Elliott Wave and Hurst Cycle roadmaps suggest that higher volatility will continue to be the norm moving forward.  We will be holding the Quarterly Premium Plan webinar within a few days to showcase the results of our backtests and re-optimizations. The results after utilizing larger stops thus far have been very positive and are likely to improve future automated trade signal results. We are working feverishly day and night to finish updating the algos, and should be ready for the quarterly Premium/Crypto Plan webinar very soon.  Here are a couple of examples of before/after charts.
