New Version of Dynamic Balance Strategy

December 11, 2018

We introduced a very effective and high return trading strategy before, which called “dynamic balance strategy”. This is a very classical trading strategy came from the great warren buffet ‘s mentor, Benjamin Graham, once mentioned in the book <<The Intelligent Investor>> a trading model in which stock and bonds are dynamically balanced.

The original strategy can been seen at:

Today, our team’s experienced programmer has made this strategy’s coding part even shorter and easier to understand.
