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).

From Beginner to Successful Trader How Long Does it Take ~ forex trading know how

0

It is not a secret that most people who begin to search for and study forex trading have the goal of becoming indepedent and successful traders in the long term. However, reality is different in the sense that most people who start their journey in forex trading dont end up as successful traders but as frustrated and tired individuals who sacrificed an important amount of their savings trying to get a grip of forex trading. Is there a magic formula to success ? Is there a quicker or slower way to do things ? On todays article I want to write about this very important question that almost all new traders ask : How long does it take to get from being a new trader to a successful one.

It is not easy to be a successful forex trader (or a trader in general), it requires patience, concentration, time, energy, intelligence and most importantly, it requires a lot of dedication and perseverance. Most people fall for the promises of quick riches and "easy trading" from many online gurus which - truth be told - are most of the time marketers who have not become successful traders themselves. New traders start their journey with high expectations of large profits in small amounts of time something that inevitably ends up with frustration and sometimes even denial as traders find out that trading is not an easy task after acquiring some experience.
--
But how long does it take for new traders to become successful ? Adding my personal experience to that of several experienced traders I know I can tell you : it depends. First of all, what do we consider success ? If success is having two consecutive years of trading in which any net profit is achieved, then - from what I know from others and experienced myself - it usually takes from 4 to 10 years of trading experience to achieve this goal. If enough capital is available, traders will usually also achieve living from trading within this time period.

What determines fast success or slow success ? Definitely I think that a good answer would be : your ability to learn. Traders who take longer to achieve profitability are more stubborn and less systematic when evaluating their trading performance than people who take shorter periods of time. Usually people who are methodical, have fixed periods of time for trading each day and analyze their trading - either done through manual or automated systems - in a very analytical way are those who can achieve success in the smaller time.

It is also true that this does not come without pain, effort and financial loss. Average profitable traders would have spent around 20K in wiped live accounts and their forex education before they can say "I made a net profit last year". A large majority of the successful traders I know have also wiped their first live account clean during their first year of live trading experience. Those who havent had close guidance and personal trading from an already successful trader showing how important it is to actually have advice from someone who is truly successful around this field.

I can tell you that - for me - this process took nearly 6 years. A time in which I wiped several live accounts - learned from my mistakes - and kept on going into my journey towards profitable forex trading. Now I can tell you that it was worth it but several thousands of times more diffcult than what peolpe wanted me to believe in the beginning. I had to discover my trading personality, understand the markets (something which is always in progress !) and learn to control my weakneses, which were evident after I started to analyze trades done by myself or my automated trading systems.

So in the end, what determines your success here - in forex trading - is not that different from what determines your success in life. You need to be consistent, analytical and willing to learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others.

How to calculate Take Profit Levels on Nadex Bull Spreads ~ forex trading or stock trading

0

It is really simple. I will not over complicate it. There are several hour long webinars out there on the web that shows how to do this but I will tell you in a few short sentences. Nadex profit and loss is equal to $1 per tick. What is a tick? It is the LAST digit on any bull spread. If the Gold price is 1299.6, then that last digit (6) is what you want to look at. If the Wall Street 30 price is 16430, then the last digit (0) is the digit you want to watch. When calculating your TP, all you have to do is erase the point, if there is a point in the quote such as the one in the Gold price at 1299.6 If I want to calculate at what price a $30 profit means, lets pretend I am selling, then this is how you do it... 12996 (take out the point) MINUS 30 = 12966. Then add the point back in. 1296.6 1296.6 is the price you want to take profit at to make a potential $30 profit. Lets look at the Wall St 30 at a price of 16430. If you sold it at 16430 and wanted a $45 profit, where would you set your TP at? 16430 MINUS 45 EQUALS 16385. 16430-45= 16385 So 16385 is where you want to buy it back. So what about buying? how do I calculate buying? Answer... Just ADD instead of SUBTRACT If I want a profit of $30... 16430 PLUS 30 EQUALS 16460. 16460 is where you set your TP And on the Gold trade, if I want a $30 profit when buying... Remember to take out the decimal. 1299.6 will become 12996 12996 PLUS 30 EQUALS 13026. Add the decimal back in... 1302.6 is your TP price. Thats it.

Look Deeper ~ forex trading on sunday

Clients,

This trading week has proven to be somewhat difficult. If you followed every signal to a "T", you netted a $9 profit per contract. This is right at break even and not great but it is not a loss. We will have a loss at some point but this week was not it.

Many clients that come to me are victims of scam artists. One of my key concerns is to stop the bleeding, like I have said in an earlier post. Some people have told me they were just draining money out of their account week after week after week. Even though we did not have a great week, you still did not lose for the 4th week in a row if you followed the instructions.

I know for a fact that some are not following instructions and did lose money this week. There is nothing I can say or do about that. You have to learn to follow a plan of some sort, whether it is mine or your own. Stick to a plan, and you can start the healing process and stop losing money.

One client sent me an email this week and said something of this sort, " Ryan, today was the first day I stuck to my plan and it feels great." Of course it feels great! Knowing that you accomplished something is the best feeling in the world. Knowing that you are treating this like a business feels awesome!

Now, from experience, here is what is likely to happen in the future. One of you will be trading live money and not following the rules. After a couple of months of losing money week after week, you will decide to follow the rules so you will stop losing money in your live account and open a demo account. for 2 weeks, you will trade on a demo and those 2 weeks will be the same weeks I lose money. You will get pissed off and stop following the rules and go back to live trading and gambling and losing money again.

Dont let this happen to you! This DID happen to me a long time ago.

Look Deeper.

Step back from the markets and take a look at your life. Where do you want to be in 5 or 10 years? I never have heard a person who seeks to be a doctor in 3 days. Treat trading as a long term commitment just like a profession because that is what it is.

Take each day and throw it away. After the day is done, forget about it. Look at the long term picture. Over the past 4 weeks, I have been getting messages asking me when the next trade is coming or when I was going to start sending more trades. There has been a lot of downtime. But just step back and look.

In the past 4 weeks, we have netted a profit of $176.5 if you traded one contract.

This is better than losing. Much better.

Over the coarse of one year, this nets $2,118 in profits. On a $1,000 account, this is a $21% return. Where, other than trading, can you get a $21% return on your money? A bank? nope. A hedge fund? Yes but what do hedge funds do? They trade.

Many traders have ping pong tables and TVs in their offices. Why is this? It is to help keep them from over trading and compensate for boredom.Trading can and usually is a very boring business. If done right, it is boring.

You can not look at 3 days of losses and give up. This week, we had 2 winning days and 3 losing days. That is perfectly fine. ALWAYS look at the long term. weeks and months. Success can not and never will be able to be defined by a few days.

Before you take another trade, If you are not trading according to the signals and have no clue what to do, stop everything. Close your computer or trade on DEMO for awhile. The market will always be there. Trade on demo for a few months and only take the signals and see what happens.

Can you sit on your hands and let the market work for you?

All that being said, I posted an equity chart and a few excel worksheets on our facebook group, facebook,com/groups/nadex about the money earned over a course of time. Take a look at that and sit back.

You guys are great! See yall next week!
