GDR Investing Announcements - August 2023
GDR Investing and the GDR Model are Evolving
Hi everyone! I hope you are well and that you are finding the GDR Model and the GDR Daily Updates helpful. I have a couple of announcements today regarding GDR Investing.
GDR Model Upgrade
First and foremost, the GDR Model will be upgraded starting from Tuesday, 1 August 2023! The biggest changes under the hood are that it now leverages the valuation component more when coming up with position sizes. While there will still be a strong timing component, the intention is for the GDR Model to rely less on purely timing the market and a bit more on time invested in the market.
Importantly, I expect that this change will increase both the expected return and the expected volatility of returns. This means that the risk taken on GDR Model positions will be greater, mostly because the model will avoid fully closing positions as it had done up until now. More importantly, my expectation is that additional returns will more than make up for the additional risk taken over time.
GDR Investing Publication
Since starting GDR Investing I have also become a prop trader. Prop trading in addition to constantly maintaining and improving the GDR Model requires a lot of time, effort and dedication. In a bid to maximize my focus and overall efficiency, there will also be a few changes on the website and publication that will be effective from Tuesday, 1 August 2023. These are:
The S&P 500 Futures Market Profile Analysis and Economic Calendar will be replaced by the annotated S&P 500 Market Profile chart that you currently see at the start of every S&P 500 Futures Market Profile Analysis.
The built-in Substack Chat feature will substitute the GDR Investing Discord Server. Going forward please use Substack Chat to ask questions and provide feedback.
I strongly believe that these changes will help me provide a better and more consistent research product for you.
Thank you so much for your support so far! I hope GDR Investing continues to help you achieve your trading and investing goals.
