Guys, I'm sorry, but I rechecked the info and found out that The Curator has died on my second account. So it's not safe to run this strat and I've unpublished it. I don't want my strats to steal your money. I will post another ones next week.

Have a good weekends!

Hello, dear subscribers!

There was no updates in my blog for a long time. I keep trying to find best strategies for you, but it takes a lot of time to test it.

I've seen a lot of strats that were performing good and stable in backtest, but as I started them, they were just loosing all their budget and stopped.

This is the post about how to prevent it OR just to know what to expect.

E.g. you have found a strategy with many years of backtest and 100% static trade size.

You should know that strategy's performance at the start of its work highly depends on a good entry point.

You might see the situation when you've added a good strategy in your list, but next day you see that its backtest changed to 0% return and 100% drawdown. This is what I'm talking about.

All you need to do is open your strategy, switch it to dynamic trade size, and find a trade size that will keep your strategy alive. Then you can switch to static.

Of course the return will be lower than expected...
...but you may be sure that there will be enough money for this strat to run after a huge drawdown at the start.

Or you can run it with 100% static trade size, but you will keep in mind that it can go to drawdown and it won't be a surprise for you. Also you can just restart this strategy after it has lost it funds, because you will understand that it was just a bad entry point.

Results of my experiment with 100% winrate strategies.

I had 99 strats with $200 budget per each, total budget was 99 * 200 = $19.800

After 1 month of simulation I have $3 profit with active strategies, but 10 strategies have lost their funds, so they lost $2000 in sum and the result of experiment is -$1997 (-10% if account's initial budget).

All the strats were backtested for 4+ years.

For me it looks like if you are trying to use only 100% winrate strats to raise your capital, you can be sure that you will lose your money. Some of them are being lucky yet (Psycho, Moonlight etc.), but in longterm even with many strats and diversification in different instruments it definitely won't work. Results of profitable strategies someday (or just from the start) will be erased with loosing ones.

I'm not going to forget this account, I will remove strats that have made huge mistakes and keep only profitable ones. I will take a look on them after 1 more month of work. After removing bad strategies, I have 26 strats with $1.5k total profit ($5200 their summary budget, so their result is 28%). So from my experiment, 76% of 100%-winrate strats performed like trash in first month.
Setting realistic TP/SL in generator is live 🥳

Sure that we will see a lot of new great strats soon :)

Due to unforeseen technical circumstances, Take Profit & Stop Loss weren't triggered when they should have been, for some strategies, for a brief period of time, yesterday.

We apologise and have taken precautionary measures to reduce the chance of this happening again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my dear followers!

In just a few months we've grown from 0 to a community of 200+ smart and purposeful people (and 350+ blog readers).

Many thanks to ProQuant Team for all updates and opportunities, it was amazing year and I believe that next one will be much more profitable, and our profit will be much more consistent. Many mistakes have been done, many lessons have been learnt.

Have a nice holidays 🎉
Happy New Year
2020 has started with a revolution in ProQuant:
1. People became really active with making new strategies as they are going to be paid for real-money followers
2. People have finally started to make their Custom strategies, that provide perfect backtests and superb results

One of my new custom strategies has made 100% in 3 workdays. I believe that this year stable 100% monthly return can become our new reality.
