In my effort to see what happens with trading Inverse equities like X and 1/X with an exponential-like like Ladder structure I ran a 19 day test so far. Initially I was not ready for the calculation scheme and traded with rough trade amounts based on larger steps closer to the trading limits than I would have if I had the calculation scheme ready in time.
Basically the trading steps from the Mid Point Price(Step 0)on the 10 Step Ladder (Full Trading Range) are, for the 5 steps up or down:
3% of Remaining value, Etc. 7% 20% 40% 100% -----> Fully invested at the bottom or fully sold at the top. Run time = 19 days
For now my conclusion is that the method will work well but I have not ran long enough of course to make any meaningful comment other than that right now the calculations are mostly manually done and horribly time consuming
