I would like to start a thread for like minded traders that are using multiple models to create an
aggregate stand alone trading system for forex.

I have roughly 100 algorithms and when I combine those with offsetting characteristics I am able to achieve a Sharpe Ratio north of 6.0

Is anyone out there following a similar path of combining multiple (offsetting algorithms) to achieve superior risk adjusted alpha?

Of course, diversification is the key to a smooth equity curve. It's finding multiple systems with a positive expectancy that's the difficulty. Well done for finding 100 profitable algos...

Thank you. Hard work. 4 years in the making!

I have 100+ algorithms ranging from statistical arbitrage to true arbitrage (obviously with combined flow from the stat arb).

I have found the interaction between the models is what is important.

For those quants out there, we all know that more important than the Sharpe above 6.0 is the M Squared is 86 and the max drawdown is below 5%.

Let me know if anyone wants me to share. I would be willing to do that off line. The impressive part is that the sub-models are not demo, they are tested live.

Just send me your email privately.

I wonder how you combine your systems to calculate your result....

For me I would have to use a spreadsheet and enter the results in some format.....

Perhaps you can outline some routine for gathering and processing the informatopn
