Turnover Tipico per Strategia

Definizione

Turnover = Total Contracts Traded / Average Position

Non include rolling (contato separatamente).

Turnover per Strategy

Strategy Turnover (×/anno)
Buy & Hold (fixed risk) 2-3×
Buy & Hold (variable risk) 5-6×
Slow Trend (EWMAC 64/256) 3-4×
Fast Trend (EWMAC 16/64) 8-10×
Carry 2-3×
Mean Reversion 15-30×
Multiple Rules Combined 3-6×

Volatility Targeting Impact

Fixed volatility estimate: - Position changes solo per price - Lower turnover

Variable volatility estimate: - Position changes per price E volatilita - Higher turnover (+50-100%) - But: Better risk targeting

Asset Class Differences

Equities: 3-5× typical FX: 5-8× typical Commodities: 4-7× typical Bonds: 2-4× typical

Cost Implications

Esempio turnover 10× vs 3×:

Strumento con TC_risk = 0.01: - 10× turnover: Annual cost = 0.10 SR - 3× turnover: Annual cost = 0.03 SR

3.3× difference!

Rolling Separate

Total Trades = Turnover + (Rolls × 2)

Esempio: - Turnover = 5× - Quarterly rolling = 4 rolls - Total = 5 + (4 × 2) = 13 trades/year

Estimating Turnover

From backtest:

  1. Count total contracts traded in year
  2. Calculate average position size
  3. Divide: Turnover = Total / Average

Use multi-year average per stima stabile.

Reducing Turnover

Metodi: 1. Slower trading rules: EWMAC 64/256 invece di 16/64 2. Threshold rebalancing: Solo se position change > 10% 3. Blend volatility estimates: Smoother σ → less trading 4. Lower forecast diversification: Fewer rules

High Turnover Warning

Turnover > 20×: - Extremely high costs - Difficile essere profitable - Consider strategy redesign

Red flags: - Mean reversion senza filters - Overoptimized parameters - Too many trading rules
