Individual Trader with +3 years proven systematic strategy - looking for trading capital

>or maybe you are actually damaging me and my business with your wrong conclusions? or maybe you are simply using this forum as a launchpad\promotion window for your own consulting service attacking other researchers work to promote your service?



Analyzing a series of numbers can hardly serve as the basis of a service. Every member of this forum can do it and many better than me, way better. My fault was that I decided to help you when no one was willing. Experienced members realized that you deserve no help. You and others like you are also the main cause of people who deserve help not getting it because people that can help are not willing to put up with the behavior you are exhibiting.



The system is important but not the most important element of fund management. It is very important how fund managers react when things go very wrong, i.e. when market conditions change and the system becomes unstable. Proper risk management under extreme adverse conditions when one is pressured by investors from one side and by the market from the other side is the major force behind natural selection in the markets. Just take a moment and think what you would do if you were long EURUSD with a stop at 1.2850 but the market suddenly gaps to 1.2350 because Italy decided to get out of the Euro, a hypothetical situation of course. What are you going to say to your investors when they run to your office? Are you going to say that your system did not expect that? The guy that trades a mini $500 account will not care but what about if you are trading $10M OPM and you were risking 5% but now that has become 40% because of a black swan? A limited performance record cannot help here. Are you going to hedge every trade? How much will it cost you? Is it possible that the hedge will not work during a fast market? We have also seen that happening.



Anyway, I wish you good luck. Do not worry, nobody here cares about your numbers and I also do not have your excel sheet after I cleaned my download area long ago. Bye.
