The completed positions are now running at an average of a ten percent per trade return. My own modelling of this system shows an average return of closer to 6% per trade. The return of the system is how many trades can be done within a year. Assuming trades that are held for 47 days then we should be able to turn over capital seven and a half times or a 46% return annually. Higher if compounding is taken into account. Of course, every year is different, but back-testing this system, showed that almost all years since 2000 are profitable.
