Asirikuy Portfolios Increasing Profits Without Increasing Draw Downs ~ forex trading knowledge in hindi

0

One of the objectives of Asirikuy is the development of portfolios to trade with high profitability and diminished risk levels. For the past year, the systems tested within Asirikuy and the previously available newsletter had never been traded together due to the fact that the effect of trading them within a single account had not been measured. For this reason it was very difficult to know if trading the experts together would have a positive effect in the overall risk level and the building of portfolios had been postponed until we had enough live trading evidence about Asirikuy systems. During the past few months - and thanks to the contributions of several Asirikuy members who provided several analysis tools - I have analyzed different combinations of Asirikuy trading systems and the way in which they affect each others trading during the long term. I would have to say that the results have been excellent to say the least. Within this post I want to share with you my analysis about an Asirikuy portfolio and how the combination of the different systems allows us to reach a great increase in profit with only slight increases in risk.

To begin my journey in portfolio building with Asirikuy systems I first tried simple combinations of all the systems to see what overall improvements I could achieve within their performance. I will show you today the effect of building a 3 system portfolio from Watukushay No.2, Teyacanani and Watukushay FE which are perhaps some of the most popular systems within Asirikuy. These systems all have a high like hood of long term profitability with 10 year profitable results and a good possibility of being live/back testing consistent. In fact, both Watukushay No.2 and FE have been trading for almost 6 months with consistent results with simulations. Since Teyacanani only has about one month of live trading, consistency cannot be evaluated yet but preliminary results look good.

What was the effect of combining these systems ? I have to say that I was impressed by the synergy I got when I joined these trading systems within a portfolio. By using their 10 year - Risk 1 - backtesting results and combining them using the tools developed by two Asirikuy members I was able to easily analyze the results from these three different systems combined. This is inline with what you would get by running the three within a single account since their internal balance mechanism ensures that they only take into account their own profits and loses when calculating their balance. Below you can see the equity curve for this 10 year combined analysis of their results in simulations.

After ten years of trading the systems achieve - by working together - an equity gain of about 309% which is equivalent to a yearly compounded profit level of around 19% (see year by year analysis later on). Perhaps the most impressive aspect is not this but the fact that the maximum draw down level of this portfolio combination was very low, at only 5.15%. Not only is the draw down small but it is actually smaller than the draw down level of almost all the systems used. Watukushay No.2 has a maximum draw down of 5.2%, Teyacanani above 6% and Watukushay FE just above 3% showing that the systems are indeed able to reduce draw down to a lower level. Profitability was greatly increased - since the effect of profitability is additive- while draw downs were globally diminished. The overall consequence is the achievement of a yearly profit to maximum draw down ratio of 19:5.15 or 3.68, a wonderful number for any trading system.

An interesting effect also comes when you consider the length of the maximum draw down periods. The maximum draw down length is also greatly reduced when compared with individual systems. For example, Watukushay No.2 has a maximum draw down length of 259 days, while the combined portfolio has a value of 216 days, showing a diminishment in the duration of the maximum draw down length. This means that not only does this portfolio achieve lower worst-case equity loses but the overall length of these losing periods is reduced.

It is also interesting to analyze the yearly and monthly performance of the portfolio to see how it compares with the Asirikuy systems by themselves, something which would show us the arrange of possibilities we could expect for our first year, month and subsequent years of trading this combined system portfolio. The results are shown on the images above and below.

The images above confirm that the portfolio is a great improvement when compared with the three systems traded by themselves. Overall, we do not get any losing years for the past 10 years and - even though the draw down of the worst losing months does increase - it does so in a much smaller proportion than the most profitable months. The profitability over the years also increases very significantly showing us that the effect of profits is indeed additive while the effect of combined draw downs is "hedging" in the sense that when any of the systems enters a draw down period some of the others are bound to enter profitable periods. The draw down periods of the systems never overlapped perfectly during the last ten years and only a few months of combined draw down are ever seen. As you see above, the largest losing month does not give us even half the profit of the most profitable month and profitable months are overall much more abundant than losing months.

The significance and analysis of this findings is tremedous. The building of these portfolios will allow us to reach higher profit targets with diminished risk and to have worst-case scenarios (double the projected maximum draw down) that are below our profit targets. This could mean that this same porftolio traded with a Risk = 3 would have an average yearly profit near 57% with a maximum draw down near 15.6% and a worst case scenario of about 32%. The use of portfolio trading will become our most important trading tool within Asirikuy and within the next few months several portfolio live accounts both owned by myself and challenge accounts will hopefully be added to Asirikuy.

I am also building a wealth development plan based on combinations of Asirikuy systems (including all systems and different currency pairs) that will be our final test of all these likely long term profitable systems. A plan with regular additions and a 1000 USD initial investment to get to a 5 figure yearly income within 10 years with a worst case scenario below 50% is what I currently have in mind. As you see I am very excited about these developments as the combination of long term profitable systems is proving to be much more than the simple sum of its parts. I hope you are excited as well so feel free to leave any comments, questions or opinions you may have :o).

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Kinetics FX Kits an Unbiased Review ~ forex trading knowledge to action

0

This review will begin a series of posts about the most recently released expert advisor. On this post I want to talk to you about an expert advisor released by a trader named Daniel Su, who appears to be from Singapore. As almost all forex robots, the forex kinetics (FX-Kit) system claims to be capable of generating consistent returns under varied market conditions with absolutely no intervention from the experts user. On todays review I will go through the experts website, analyzing the authors claims and evidence and I will tell you if - according to my opinion - this trading system is worth buying and testing.

The first sentence on this website already started to bother me as I read the word "guaranteed", expert advisor sellers must be clear in that no profits can be guaranteed and that past performance never guarantees future results. An effort can always be made to ensure that trading systemswill have the pwoer to adapt to changes in market conditions but, since no one knows the future, saying that certain profit or consistency is guaranteed is nothing more than an unethical marketing tactic (which is not surprisingly used).

As with most trading systems, the website goes on and on about the trading systems ability to adapt to changes in market conditions and its unique features which allow it to remain hidden from brokers and trade differently - yet efficiently - for all of its users. The system claims that it is able to change its entries between different traders such that trades would never be the same (I wonder how you can match performance then ?).

When it comes to trading evidence, I have to say that this system falls short by a very long shot. The evidence shown of "live testing" is not investor access verified and - on top of that - trading has stopped on all accounts a few months back. How can you buy any trading system that just shows you a few months worth of trading evidence ? Why in the world would you risk your own hard-earned money if not even the tester is willing to load his expert advisor on his account and place some investor-access information ? I think that the author of the forex kinetics (FX-Kit) trading system should place investor access information or myfxbook account links if he wishes to present reliable live testing evidence. What we have right now could simply be a small profitable period after which the account was wiped or it could simply be a made up statement with a made up graph. Even if the results are indeed real, we cannot know if they were run on demo or live accounts due to the lack of investor information.

There is also a very suspicious lack of backtesting information which is almost always shown on expert advisor selling websites. Why doesnt the owner show us a 10 year backtest if his system is able to adapt to changes in market conditions ? If this backtesting information cannot be shown then how are we supposed to know if the claims are real ? Should people risk money on an untested system that has no prove of profitability or reliability across different market conditions ?

In the end, the overall lack of any realiable evidence makes the claims made by the author lack any susbtantial support and therefore this trading system called forex kinetics (FX-Kit) is absolutely NOT worth buying and testing. If the author wishes to provide reliable proof of profitability then live investor-access verified myfxbook links should be provided coupled with 10 years of backtesting results. I always write these suggestions with the hope that sellers will just run the tests and show me the evidence in an honest fashion but I have to say that - up until now - this has never actually been the case.
