Its a calculation that measures the upside and downside volatility of an account. It is used to gauge if the account assumes too much risk relative to growth.

The sortino ratio is similar but only accounts for downside volatility. Upside volatility isn't considered a negative. Using both of these gives investors a good gauge on the account without needed to dig into the details.

{quote} true. Even when someone makes some good profit in the beginning will face heavy losses as well and fall in doubt. So like darrenlehma said, it takes time to understand the market with the eagle eyes. Wish you green pips with good experience.
Agree; this is why, new traders need to judge their trading skill lately! Rushing is very common problem here!

i lose a lot money.now i am in doubt. it's impossible to predict ,so why do you think it's possible to earn money from trade?
There are various systems to learn. There are different waves and you have to pay close attention to events that happen in the world, the news, technology, food, etc.
All of that is proof of how the world effects what we trade.

True. Unless you get scammed by your broker, which unfortunately also happens.

I am new to forex factory, I have created a few EAs the idea was simple like trend following and breakout strategy. parameters were tuned. I backtested in year 2014-2016 and run a full BT from 2012-2018. with 7 strategies the equity grew from 10K to 55K steadily with small drawdown. I know this is too good to be true, however for all 7 strategies my position sizing was no where near aggressive. I risk maximum 2% of account equity for each trade. This makes me think if I have enough decent performing EAs running on a single account it would not be impossible to generate 50%+ return annually. Am I missing something? is that what you pro traders get or do pros generate much higher returns? thx

Yes, what you're missing is forward testing aka live testing. You will notice the difference. If not, let me know, we can become friends.

Sure, I have gone live in December, so far 1% down, not so proud but I will stay with it for 6 months and see how it goes. meanwhile I m working on some other EAs.

a 1% daily gain is a pretty challenging and reasonable goal to set as a trader. It will yield about a 250% equity gain Annually.

I believe it is possible, however, why cannot the instituitions reach that number? I have read article why retail traders have chances beating instituitions, but right now 30% return is already good in hedge fund, that mean beating instituition 8 time in return. of course I am not elite trader, it is just seems like irrational to believe that.
