How much money I could make from investors?

This thread will cover my adventurous journey in finding out the right answer.

I am in touch with trading since many years and I always had that question in mind, so last year I decided to do something about it. The fist idea I had was to become a trader on Myfxbook - AutoTrade. To meet the requirements I developed a very innovative system - Future Simulator - where trades are triggered by patterns specially designed to detect a safe moment to enter the market. I will talk more about it during this journey as I am continuously developing it.

The system went live in October. I applied for AutoTrade and got declined. I re-applied with a better system explanation - waiting for an answer.

Thinking to attach trade explorers for a easier system overview.

Your contribution is highly appreciated!

The idea of this system came in a moment when I was accelerating my brain cells beyond the speed of light in order to develop a recovery algorithm as I always had in mind "what should I do with a loosing trade?"
- keep it open maybe it reverse, one voice said
- close it and go next, other voice said triggering another set of questions like "how next trade should be if a loosing trade was just closed?"
- hedge it,
- compound in a direction, (aaa???); smarter, compound in the good direction, (mmm???)
..., an entire stadium was yelling in my mind trying to dictate my set of actions.
And then everything went quiet when I decided to stop trading! ... oups, it's not that

Well, why not placing only future winning trades? Eureka! and Future Simulator was born!

A high level explanation of what is trying to do sounds like: the system is looking how a trade could look in the future and will execute it in the present time if it will be a winning one. Not all the winning trades will be executed as certain particularities are required:
AutoTrade - Average pip per trade (expectancy) of at least 3; Average trade time over 5 minutes; ... and few others
Darwinex - accounts with more than 50% of the trades shorter than 10 minutes are not eligible to list a DARWIN due to their low scalability.
Copy services - ...
A direct solution is to try to trade only what is needed, but will cut the profit. OK, will do that for now!
Solutions to this requirements will be implemented in the near future (and also revealed) if it will be the case.
I haven't forgot about the recovery algorithm as I am seeing new opportunities for it. I hope to describe and implement the solution soon.

I just got a very good real example of a trade where a recovery strategy could have been applied, and I will share the solutions with you as the system can support it.

Future Simulator - https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/236660
Pair: USDJPY
Action: Buy
Start date: 15.02.2017 18:13
End date: 02.03.2017 20:07
DD ~2%
This trade was initiated by a pattern that was expected to have a DD of 1.55%. This trade actually challenged the validity of the pattern and triggered alerts to the others patterns of this pair preventing them to jeopardize the account existence (it get's complicated, not for now).

What to do with such a loosing trade? (~2% DD)?
- close it? when? - 2 weeks later it went in profit!
- keep it? - how long?
- recover it? from what level?
- ...

Actions to do around the level of max allowed dd:
- place another Buy trade (maybe compounded volume for a faster exit?) and close in profit both trades. Nothing new and quite easy!
- notice the trade closing system to take more profit from buy trades opened at this level by the other patterns.
This could be good and bad too as each pattern has his own characteristics and also an individual x% DD, therefore this new trade could challenge it's pattern limits too. This would teleport into an unknown territory the initial trade as it's pattern just got broken.
Time must be part of the pattern characteristics and also associated with the DD: %xDD in yTime.

To conclude, the most important thing is to track the trade and check it's validity.
This ideas would have been profitable - there were several buy trades triggered at good levels.



There is a lot of fun finding and implementing solutions for automatic trading. I know that this is nothing new specially while doing manual trading as everything is done 'without thinking' (in reality the mind is taking the funny part without telling).

Future Simulator - monthly growth of 12 % (referring to the initial deposit)

EURUSD - everything that is open is because of different bugs, I didn't want to do something manually.
USDCAD - didn't performed so great, could be a candidate for the trade recovery idea.

This (EURUSD) is very painful to my DD as it's about 13%. The remaining till 16% was caused by USDCAD and different other trades. Much more annoying is that 8% is blocked (is quite easy to see that 2 are sell and 5 buy on EURUSD ... how? from the swap. Also, big swap in most of the cases means a long time opened trade)

Future Simulator 2 - 7% growth in 2 weeks with 1.75% DD
7% is too little? let's leverage, ... 50 times?... oups, already 350% with a 87.5% DD. It's going in the high risk area but it looks attractive.

Don't leave the party until it's finished!
Friday, close to the end of the day, Future Simulator 2 decided that it's time to save the planet's energy and left the party. Not a too wise decision as Future Simulator managed to double the profit of the day in less than 30 minutes.

I have a long time feeling that I might not need to have an ECN account and pay for better spreads as the performance seams better on non ECN account. If this is true, then it could save a few % each month.

Today I stared to trade with Alpari, individual account - ECN and PRO ECN.

This week started in slow motion, the growth was almost insignificant for the first days.
Slow days are very dangerous for automatic trading as the market it sending a lot of bad signals. In fact, the difference between a good and a bad system is made during this type of days. Future Simulator traded as expected during these days and today when the movement has started it made a 1.3 % growth. The same performance within a +/- 10% range was taken across several accounts on IC Markets and Alpari. On Darwinex it made 50% less, a surprising big difference, although on a monthly period the growth difference is smaller.
Alpari accounts are not public as I am currently using them to determine the type of the PAMM account I will use. I could make the accounts available or open new ones if someone is interested in Future Simulator but has an affinity for a specific broker. I am also looking to start trading with Instaforex broker.

This week I have put a lot of effort into architectural redesign and performance improvements to be able to support with very low resources the future development.

I am making the preparations to trade with these new pairs: EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD and NZDUSD.

As I am looking to extend the system with different extensions, I came up with a personal implementation of a an algorithm where I apply common trading methods to a signal wave. I don't try to reinvent the wheel, a plane is still flying under the water!
It already started to run live (no demo), and I got some good examples too. Hopefully I will come back with a solution for the public and convince the audience to trade with me as this is the main scope.

And plenty of new other things!

Darwinia level is getting better, only the experience is missing from going to the next level.



Darwinex - ROZ - https://www.darwinex.com/en/product/ROZ.3.7/
MQL5 - Future Simulator 2 - https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/272696

Nice clean-up!
USDCAD - performed as expected.
EURUSD was allowed to trade with less restrictions and much more risk compare to the other pairs. It will start to align with the other pairs rules.

On Darwinex there are two trades from last week, EURUSD and USDJPY, where I don't have a great sympathy on their existence.

Currently, Future Simulator is not trading at it's full potential, therefore I will focus more to increase it's profitability rather then running in too many directions.
Alpari could start at any moment.

I wonder who will be and when I will have my 1st subscriber/investor?
As one could say: I bought the 1st phone of that company, or the 1st car, or I was the 1st that ...

Now it's your chance to be the 1st that invested in Future Simulator. And the cost is not high! Also, using the signal it could bring more money as it's current monthly growth is around 12%!

Hurry up and go for it!

How much trust is in this system?

I made no manual trade since the project started until this Monday. I am dangerous when I do it!
The idea was to use Future Simulator as a guide for manual trading. Although it's quite hard to find such opportunities in a great system (yah!), there were 2 candidates, USDCAD and EURUSD that were challenging their pattern.

As I already mentioned, I was going in different directions and one of them was ZuluTrade. USDCAD trade was in this account. I placed a high volume trade compare to the other trades. I closed the automatic trades one day later. In the second day I closed the high volume trade with 70% account equity gain. Same trades were also present in Future Simulator account and the trades were closed as expected. Although my ranking at ZuluTrade was at a satisfactory level for a start-up, I stopped publishing signals there.



Second trade on Alpari - EURUSD. I was testing a personal view and implementation of a scoring algorithm with a better trade accuracy. Same story - placed a high volume trade, trust the system and one day later cash in. Here the trades were automatically closed with a smaller profit, all together according to the strategy.



Future Simulator would have returned several times more on both pairs trading with the same volumes and rules already mentioned, or would have had the same perfect trades with lower a return as it would have kept the same volumes as the other trades.

With this manual trades the account went into red margin call area several times - during 2 days! You might wonder how I came up with the 2.05 lots on USDCAD and 0.55 lots on EURUSD? (Alpari account - 3x times smaller than ZuluTrade one) All the credit is given to my fantastic risk management team(?!?) that perfectly assessed the impact and came up with this figures.
Project teams? Yes! it's a must to have all the roles in a project and don't play with the mixer too much between them as the result will be a Turkish kebab prepared by a Japanese! I will talk more about my teams in the future.

Are you still not convinced to subscribe or invest with me?

Are you scared of Margin Call?
No more fear, Future Simulator is here!

There are plenty examples with perfect entry / exit trades but this is not so exciting to talk about in a long term. For marketing purposes, I had to add some drama in the Alpari account...



Future Simulator extended with scoring implementation was trading in the Alpari account while I was in holiday last week. Meanwhile some trades were
accumulating swap in my account.
Monday I decided that is time to add some drama in the account, say hello to the Margin Call.
I added some trades on the problematic pairs (EURUSD + GBPUSD), with a volume precision and timing that makes even a Swiss watch envious, so that a trade
will be closed by the Margin Call but let the account in a health condition to make profit. WOW!

Margin Call arrived, see the famous mt4 comment.
After the dramatic Margin Call close-up new profitable trades covered the loss.
BUT, problematic trades were still there, haha - nice, no?

Since happy ending was needed, I used a positive past scenario with a trade that will close everything in profit. I had some thoughts to close the trades
earlier but for the sake of a pattern validation I let the system do it's thing and close the trades on the latest problematic trades entry.
The first close-up idea arrived on the first big drop - max gain, but decided to better go and buy a discounted pizza having in mind that I will close the trades when I get back. Meanwhile 25% of the max possible gain was waved out. Then, I got another idea to let it till midnight and get some swap (nice and not so nice as at that moment the spread is high), but 50 % of the max possible gain was waved out. All the time the following song was so powerful and convinced me to let the system do it's thing.

I trade with no fear
My system is right here
No fear, no fear
Future Simulator is here!

And now altogether, subscribe and sing with me:

I trade with no fear
My system is right here
No fear, no fear
Future Simulator is here!

Enjoy!

Notice the Take Profit = 1.074 from the previous post image / sell trade on EURUSD?
And a little bit later...



What is this?!?
I let your imagination to fly...

And now altogether, subscribe and sing with me:

I trade with no fear
My system is right here
No fear, no fear
Future Simulator is here!

My Darwin is at its highest level I have ever seen. There is one more day and the position 74 is not enough as only the first 48 get investments from the platform.

Future Simulator passed to the Advanced level, a few things are missing from going to the next one.



Even if my wish to get investments is high and a big hope is on Darwinia, I will let Future Simulator do it's things and I will not interfere with manual trades or a last minute doping. All the trades from the accounts I promote are automatic.

What will be in one more day? April 1st, bring me the news!

As far as I'm concerned, one can earn up to 6000USD per month. All you need is a good strategy and stick to it. I have seen sevaral traders from FreshForex get up to 10000USD per month. I believe its all about strategy!

Limited Premium VIP Promotion

I realized that my current offer is not offering a complete exclusivity to my 1st investor.
I will fix this by changing the price of Future Simulator on MQL5 platform to 398.75 usd. It was supposed to be 319 usd but since I am charged 20%, it will be
398.75 usd. I would have prefer in eur but ... OK. In the end it's just another number in money!

The offer of 398.75 usd will be available for 1 week only and hopefully for the 1st investor! The price will be rolled back to 30 usd after that.

Future Simulator 2 and SignalStart will keep the price unchanged.
On Darwinia I don't control the price.

I apologize if I offended someone with this exclusivity at a basic price.

Last week I was talking with a friend that is chasing me from a long time to give him some means of trading with me. Finally, he found the way to create an account on Darwinia and started to follow me in demo mode.

It didn't took much time and his account started to show life signs by printing an impressive EKG. And what to see? first it was a drop, around 0.2% (~2 eur). My friend got so scared and was so so so close to terminate the following process but luckily he realized it's demo and got more relaxed.

My advice to this type of profile people is to spend their money on things that bring the highest joy to them.
Future Simulator's joy is to spend the money on things that bring more money!

A day after, my friend's account was showing a 2% gain but sadly he can't buy even a cinema ticket as it's demo money!

My friend managed to make more than I did!?! Maybe I should stop developing my system and follow Future Simulator too since it's much more profitable! Aaaaaa?!? Future Simulator is mine - I'll keep on developing it with the challenge to beat itself!

Future Simulator price is now reverted to 30 usd.

The performance of this week was similar with watching a boring movie, over and over. But this means only one thing, namely better days will come!
