In this follow-up, I analyze 10 years of data on a select group of stocks to show that while higher take-profit and stop-loss thresholds boost win ratios and Sharpe ratios, longer holding times can lower annualized returns.

In the previous two articles, we explored the coverage of random portfolios in log volatility—return space, both with and without a risk-free asset. We now take the next step, and calculate the Efficient Frontier and Capital Market Line of Markowitz’s theory.

In a previous article I simulated random portfolios using Monte Carlo methods for the 2023 daily closing prices of the 100 stocks constituting the Nasdaq-100. Here I add the risk-free asset to the portfolio and examine how it affects the coverage in log volatility—return space.
