Useful Statistics

Calculated the latest statistics on slippage in American futures since the beginning of the year. Let me remind you, that only the execution of stop orders is considered.

I generally, exhibiting 100 dollars per circle, since you still need to take into account the transitions from one month's contract to another, what often have to be done.

so

System no. 1 It was 296 transactions, slippage $18.49
System # 2 was 156 transactions, slippage $28,59
System No. 3 was 64 transactions, slippage $10,44
System # 4 had 117 transactions, slippage $30,56

Total, in general, all systems were 633 transactions, slippage $22,40
It was not all round, but for a separate transaction. To count on a circle, must be multiplied by two 22,40 * 2 = $44,80

Also, counted for individual futures. Deals, Really, separately for each futures, Little, but the general impression can be made::
