Linzaroo's Transition From eToro To Darwinex

@ Linzaroo You write that it will certainly not go to zero, that it was impossible to go down, blame the market and while this you add add add and hope and hope and hope some more. Losses and draw downs are part of trading but what you did here is plain and simple amateurish and very bad trading.
Amateurish? Mate, I said I wouldn't allow it to go to zero! This strategy has worked beautifully for 6 years! In hindsight now, of course there was a flaw. A flaw that only presented itself under such extreme circumstances such as this! If it makes you feel better to chastise me now...be my guest. If you think that I am done... you're VERY wrong my friend! Good day! xxx

I'm not going anywhere ..... Personally I wouldn't have closed any losing trade, I would have preferred to have gone to zero than to have let the market win
Thanks for your trust Chiang but, allowing these trades to hit margin call would have been a bit irresponsible considering other people's money is at stake. We would have hammered even further had I not closed when I did

Hi Linda, sad to see these results, but you are not the only one. I diversified my portfolio also to another darwin, HFD with DX score 68.6 and with nearly zero correlation btw. you and him - and you cas guess... -15%. So you are not the only one with significant losses.
From my POV I wanna stay with you. Now is my HGF investment -40% but I would like to let you to resolve it.
Have a nice weekend.

Hey Linda, I will also stay with you. I like the way you trade and this sea of red is not because of you but the market. I know its always hard to sell in the red but sometimes its better to take the hit then bleed dry. I trust you with the funds i use to copy you so i let it play out

Thanks Shalel and Juraj. Yes, it was certainly a difficult decision to close last week but, as Juraj just mentioned, and he is 100% correct...we would have faced margin call today for SURE. I had to do what I did to keep us ALL in the game. You can always come back from a set back so long as you retain capital xxx

Have you been through times like these Linda? Today I read something little about the NASDAQ circuit breaker, and it seems that this situation didnt happen for a while now.

Juraj, I NEVER experienced anything like this, ever! I wasn't trading in 2008 during the GFC but, from everything I can calculate, even that didn't screw with the markets as bad as this has. Even when the Swiss franc unpegged from the Euro, I had no lasting adverse effects on Sine Wave. We literally would have been crashed today had l not closed our basket Friday. I knew it was becoming untenable and lo and behold, this weekend Saudi Arabia struck a death knell blow to Oil and all of the currencies beholden to it by firing the first shots of the Oil trade war! If Coronavirus wasn't bad enough for it already...Sheesh!

No. Juraj, if Sine Wave has failed under tough circumstances, then it is NOT a perfect system as I thought. There are SOOO many ways to make money consistently in trading not to follow something that may one day make you go broke. Sine wave was a means to NOT have scary moments...it failed in this instance so I am done.

{quote} Thanks again for your trust Juraj. I hope you didn't take what I was trying to say wrongly. I am in no way taking lightly what any of you have invested... regardless of the amount. I was just trying to inform you all that everything I do comes at an equal risk to me. There are SO many traders out there that provide signals BUT only have a tiny amount invested. Take for instance Olivier Danvel's Darwin on Darwinex, SEH which you can view here. Not trying to impugn Olivier but, his concern...
Do you know what is Olivier Danvel Darwinex account ?
He used to show his others brokers accounts on his website but he now only show etoro because the others are more serious and display the real risk and drawdown. He almost blew up those last days with his martingale but etoro dont show it.

No he didnt. In his chart you can see that it isnt the first time he got into such a situation, but unlike others, he already made it up. Exactly as few times before.

EDIT: No need to say that last two months nearly everybody lost money... Check best darwin HFD...

Yes he did, he's risked over an entire year of profit in his martingale style startegy. He lost over 15% within 2 days, if Trump wasn't playing golf this week-end and had anounced the block on europeans travelers earlier it's would have kept on droping further and as he keep adding more trades he would have just kept loosing more and more, from 0 to -1 -2% it take a while but then it goes snow ball and at -15% there is not much left to blew up. Needless to say that many of his investors/copiers got stop out because of this fast huge drawdown.
It's just a matter of time until he blew his accounts. Anyway who want to risk 15%/day to only make 8%/year (minus taxes) ? people dont realize how risky his strategy is to only make peanuts.
I dont care what others on Darwinex do, the few guys i follow have got record profits so far this year with those great trends all around the market on pretty much all pairs and instruments.

Well my friend, it is true what you are saying. Danvel is stacking his trades and I have maintained that that is dangerous AND it is! I can't cast any stones though. I thought that I had found the perfect safe system and it had been working for many years... until THIS! I have learned a valuable lesson over this... NEVER be totally engaged! I never stacked trades as such as Danvel is clearly doing. I've gotta hand it to him, he appears to have dodge a bullet this time. I remember back before the turn of this year he had been down 10% as well and his risk score had gone up too as he was stacking positions. It's a really good thing for him that the Coronavirus didn't hit then. I must admit though, Danvel is an extremely safe trader. I don't know what's in his mind but, maybe he has a limit to the amount of positions he is adding and I do see some evidence of him mixing negatively correlated assets while engaging. What gets me is how many copiers he has using a strategy that is quite obvious and nearly anyone could easily implement themselves.
Basically, I CANNOT fault anyone's bad performance under these circumstances. I am literally dumbfounded by what has happened in the markets as a result of this. Stocks and commodities are one thing but, the effect it has on currencies is quite another xxx

LOL! Well Chiang, when people that know what they're doing make mention of it, it ruffles feathers. I did talk a bit of smack because I was confident in my method after so many years. I DID fail in my approach though under these extraordinary circumstances so, I guess I kind of deserve it
When people think that I am done...then THAT'S when they're sadly mistaken! xxx
