Hi dongsky

I think you wrote that you're not a very good dancer ... how does your account, if you're be a good dancer

... it is excellent work!!!

i am now thinking of current fxchallenge... i have learned that the company is basing their judgement not from individual's earning/profits but each realised daily trades devide from risk and performance of the day.

it is not however the daily profit performance of individual that counts solely... but the consistency of overall perofrmance...

good morning all..

have a good week end!

Consistency would seem to be the best measure for a trader.

Sent you a pm btw.

Consistent performance... Here's what Fti has to say


Once you are experienced in this MO, you are mostly doing ants work regularly, and any attrition to P&L would be within the confines of your accumulated winnings. For banks that is limited to the annual quarter's P&L. This is also the reson why , when a disaster scenario is reported , as in the case of socgen, they can still report that principal is safe.

It would be great if individual traders can adopt this. But this is unlikely as , the modus operandi sowed in the minds of most trader is to profit in access of 3 to 4X cap ROI on outlay. So exposing them to castratopic runs on cap. Not withstanding those that want to make millions from pittance. Of course high gearing accelerates their demise.
Maybe this may help some come to their senses, that to be truely profitable , it must be over time ( like ants work), never depending on sudden winfalls. If of any value , to be on the watch out for and to reverse sudden misfortunes. [MINDSET]

hi niels,

i just don't know how do they do their math on this... i saw few people there with a lower performance than i have...

but maybe i'm wrong...

i still want to know what is more important to them... risk? performance? deviation? i know i have all better result... risk... i know i have wide and big exposures, but managed to close each one with big profits too...

performance... i only have 1 loss (drawdown..) i don't know how this fair tothem...

well... i'll just play very calm this time i guess.

regards,

... and maybe to focus more on my bread and butter

as i've said before... i'm not aiming to win this challenge but just merely enjoy dancing with larger skews...

Hi again,

was out for shopping the past few lours.
Feel free to ask, if there are still some uncertainties.
I'm going to set up an Excel sheet to play with some scenarios, cause I have similiar problem as you ...
After that I'll decide about strategy to go ....

However, please let me know, when I can be of any help.
Just want to see 2 to 5 TAFies under the top ten

I like how they are ranking performance. So they don't just give gamblers the win haha. #1 has made almost 4x return of #2 but only head by a little bit on their calculation.

Floating is different than realized which is what your report shows... I believe at least. One could go like -50% floating but still have original account balance because they haven't closed out.
