We tested three types of position sizing: Rectangular, Triangular and Inverted Triangular, where we entered/exited over a different number of periods.
To give a specific example, if we had 6 maximum positions and 3 rows then
Entry Numbers and levels | Entry / Exit Barriers | Rectangular | Triangular | Inverted Triangular | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1 |
So in this case we would always try to enter/exit over in stages as long as the relevant signal was in place. Also in the case of a strategy with more than one exit barriers that had hit the top of the band so we sold fully short, then fell so we closed some (but not all) short positions, and then returned to the top we would fully go short again.
