Spot and Trade Institutional Money Moves

Algorithmic Trading with Human Interaction for:

Day Traders, Swing Traders, Long-Term Investors

Saturday, August 2, 2014

What return can you expect when putting your money in the financial markets: Stock Market, Currencies, Commodities, and Treasuries?

Our answer: It depends on the time frame you plan to stay in your investment.

Let us take an example of an average stock:

When institutional money starts flowing in or out, you can expect an average price move of about 1.8% of the share value in the next 1-5 days. If you are a long-term investor, expect about a 3.5% price move in the next 1-5 weeks. If you rather open and close your trade in the same day, expect about a 0.6% value change in 1-5 hours.

With a median time in the trade of three bars, this means:
  • Long-term Investments: 3.5% return in three weeks.
  • Swing Trading: 1.8% return in three days.
  • Day Trading: 0.6% return in 3 hours.
This picture changes when utilizing margin (factor four for day traders and factor two for swing traders and long-term investors) or leverage by trading the option of the underlying stock (about a factor 20, depending on the underling and implied volatility).

However, let us continue the stock trading example, assuming: Your trading system gives you two wins out of three trades; you constantly reinvested and you allow the price move a wiggle room of the expected return, then this will be the expected calculated returns:
Return and Risk Calculation for different Trader or Investors
The above table shows that the day trader, when using margin can expect the highest return and is risking the least amount of money per trade, while the long-term investor is taking a risk above the average expected return. Swing Traders in both examples have a positive expectation between risk and reward.

Why do so many people prefer long-term investing?

Our answer: This is what you been thought investing in; thus you prefer long-term holding of Mutual funds, 401(k), and broker held assets or ETF’s.
