Recent market conditions

Higher volatility is still present in the market, the move which can usually take one day happens now in an hour. With upcoming USA election we can expect that these conditions will continue. Those who use tight stop-losses should check if their strategy still fits the current conditions.

Portfolio continues growing

Currently the portfolio have a new equity high and has already recovered completely from the recent drawdown. We have received more questions regarding the recent drawdown – whether it is generally worth to turn off strategies. Basically the best scenario is when your trading account is big enough so the drawdown like this doesn’t affect it too much. In this situation you can continue trading and let the portfolio recover naturally.
