Another report on my test trading strategy. The last two weeks have passed under the sign of working on bugs. I fell into the trap, which many traders fall into, acting on the principle “save”, but not “earn”. Trade began to somewhat resemble the structure of the layout of the Gaudí workshop, exhibited in the basement of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona: many connections, balancing each other.
But it was worth making a mistake and a dangerous imbalance arose.. After trampling for a couple of weeks in one place, the deposit began to go into the minus. It turned out, that instead of, to punch, I hit with a relaxed palm. Therefore, I decided to focus on a smaller number of issuers and trade relatively short time frames. (within the week). Maybe, account volatility will slightly increase, but the maximum drawdown should remain within the stated 10%.
What to do, I weighed mine “Ferdinand” 200-millimeter armor on all sides and gave only a small cannon. As a result, he could hardly move, and was ineffective, although difficult to attack. Now part of the armor has been removed, and the cannon was replaced with a long-range 88 mm anti-aircraft gun. The result of the last trading week is visible on the chart. And if the total profitability for two months was 12.39%, then only for the last four trading days(the week was incomplete), the account got fat 5,04%. Shoulders, still, not used.
Why “Ferdinand” :) Some years ago, in the office we actively played in the evenings on the local grid in SuddenStrike2. Ferdinand (Elephant) was practically indestructible and very effective, although slow.
