How the long position is opened


In order to open a long position the following steps are daily performed by our systems:


1. Apply market regime information to identify statistically sound bullish regimes (for instance black swan Covid period is automaticlly cutted off)

2. For each of 97 US stocks we have collected their historical stagionality along the entire year identifying windows in which is statistically sound that the stock will rise

3. Daily control the performance of each stock ranking the best performers, this allow us to apply the strategy only to 10 positions

4. If the information of the stagionality triggers a long entry before opening the position we control the price action and his volatility identifying the correct timing for entry

5. Having done the ranking we are able to limit the number of concurrent open positions to 10


How the long position is closed


The long position is closed if our system give us the info that the bullish stagionality is over

A Stop Loss setted at 20% is always on in order to avoid any disaster, this value of 20% has been strongly backtested and optimized to guarantee a safe protection and the required space for stock to move and recover their movements.



An example of stagionality: Apple



Portfolio’ Rules


All the actions to be done will be communicated through the telegram channel and the mail address


In order to reflect the same results of backtest all positions have to be opened with the same amount of money  (eg. if you open a position with 1 k€ all the future positions have to be opened with 1 k€. Considering the max number of open positions is 10, there could be periods during the year in which you will have 10 k€ invested 


Every time a new open position has to be opened you will receive a table like the one below, showing in green the new open position to be opened. Don’t consider positions in grey, they are older positions that were opened in the past. The position opening has to be performed immediately, if you are late please open the position at maximum within 24 hours you have received the signal 


Every time current open position has to be closed (or because the stagionalty period is over or because it got a Stop Loss) the instrument ’ignal in the table will become red. The closure of the position has to be performed immediatelly as soon as you have received the closing signal. Please note that a late closing of the position can generate significant losses


PLEASE NOTE: Resonance QuantLab is not responsable for performances due to late opening or late closing of the positions
