11. Calculation Formula of Various Indicators
Equity at the beginning of the day = equity at the end of the previous day
Daily rate of return = daily return / equity at the beginning of the day
Cumulative rate of return = ∑ daily rate of return
Comprehensive score =(±)100×|accumulative return rate|×√|accumulative return| / A×(1-|maximum drawdown|)2
Maximum drawdown = MIN (rate of return drawdown)
Rate of return drawdown = [(latest accumulative return rate – record high accumulative return rate)/ (record high accumulative return rate + 1)]×100%
Sharp rate = (rate of return – risk-free rate of return)/ volatility rate
Volatility rate = standard deviation of rate of return
