So you weren't looking for an innuendo but he gave you one?

i am sorry, but if you roll your position every 3 days this means you do just over 80 "roundtrips" in one year and hence trading costs in terms of slippage, commissions, and bid-offer spread are going to have a material impact on the performance of what you euphemistically call a "system". i dont trade chinese stocks, but i would estimate the average bid-offer spread to be around 50bps or even higher. do the math...in any case, this system clearly generates very good business for your broker, and i am sure you are making him very happy.

well, it does sounds stupid to choose 'n' good stocks and keep it for 3 days. It will be generate a extra cost to be inside of stock of time but will reduce the risk a potencially increase the profit.i would consider a volume upward movement, tendency and inclination of the tendency as some of the ranking rules. Maybe you think that 3 days is to short, but the main ideia is good. Thats u cant denied

I done calculations holding it from min of 2days up to 10days+ , 3 days gives me the max returns because of compounding.

If i was getting done by slippage, i could alter the strategy so instead of buying at the next days open, i would set the order next morning at todays close, as todays close is on average 0.02% higher than next days open, i would on average loose that amount per trade by altering the strategy, but still profit since im making around 1.5%/per trade after commisions. Also since stocks can move either way, i could be buying higher than the open but i could also be buying lower
