Un error en los resultados.

Estaba revisando los resultados de los sistemas y habían cosas que no acababan de cuadrarme y me he dado cuenta de un error que se ha producido en los resultados de unos de los sistemas, concretamente en el sistema DiaT. Los resultados del mismo que he publicado no son correctos. No tengo muy claro cual ha sido la razón para el error. El error fundamentalmente es mío por no revisar a conciencia los mismos. En este caso motivado muy probablemente por un error en la compilación del sistema. Me he dado cuenta al comparar los resultados entre dos ordenadores diferentes. Un mismo sistema en dos ordenadores diferentes con los mismos parámetros deben dar los mismos resultados y en esta ocasión no los daba. En la p´roxima publicación, estarán coregidos los fallos publicados.

Resultados sistemas a Septiembre 2.013.

Ya acabado el mes de septiembre podemos ver los resultados de los sistemas (salvo error de anotación). Para tener una orientación, también publico los completos del año pasado para cada uno de ellos. Los resultados a nivel general han sido malos este mes, por segundo mes consecutivo, malísimos. Los resultados de la columna de cada mes reflejan el del periodo completo de los meses en conjunto, reflejando el periodo de 1/01/2.013 hasta el fin de mes correspondiente. Del sistema SPAG publico los resultados en sus dos versiones actuales, la SPAG y SPAGV2. He incluido en la tabla los resultados del último sistema publicado el IntraDiaFull pero solo aplicado a 4 mercados, 2 europeos (Dax y CAC) y dos americanos (Mini SP y Mini Rusell ). Se han esfumado buena parte de los beneficios generados hasta septiembre, pero el saldo de la cartera sigue siendo positivo, tanto en dólares como en la cartera en euros. La operativa en el mercado americano se muestra mucho mas consistente este año en el paso de cada mes.
Uno o dos sistemas son claramente candidatos a abandonar todo seguimiento en su operativa. Me refiero al sistema CANALES y al sistema BABO30, pero fundamentalmente por su drawdown, su peor racha de pérdidas, difícilmente asumible para cuentas no muy capitalizadas.
Veamos los resultados de todos los sistemas con detalle de su drawdown actual: (clica en la imagen para verla más grande y clara).
