Portfolio Doing Well

The portfolio I developed using StrategyQuant is working very well. I started it in a live account April 1, 2015 and it is up 14% and over 1000 pips.  Drawdown is minimal at 11%, my goal is to have drawdown capped at 20%, but ideally below 15%.  Although it’s too early to conclude success after only 2 months, the strategies’ drawdowns and smooth upward performance results are indicative of the back testing and forward testing results I had.  So it’s looking real good overall.

After I made 10%, I doubled the lot size.  This is a test live account (demo account was giving different trade results than the live account so I do not want to rely on a demo account’s results).  I am using a $1,000 account with a .01 micro lot to start, and am now using a .02 micro lot, and will continue to increase as profits grow to compound the returns.

The attached pic is of when I started this portfolio in a live test account April 1, 2015.  So it has accurate readings related only to this portfolio and filters out previous results from other strategies.  I also have the entire account tracked on MYfxbook (http://www.myfxbook.com/members/PrincipAnalysis/principle-analysis-sq-portfolio/1244436) but this documents the account since its inception which distorts the data related to this portfolio since I tested a grid trading strategy before and it was very wild so I stopped using it.  You can see on the MYfxbook link that the performance became significantly smoothed out once I started using the current StrategyQuant portfolio April 1st though.

I just wanted to drop by and post my results and at least short term success in using StrategyQuant to develop my own EAs.  So far so good.  I will be back again later with an updated report.

Keep up the good work.
You should go into custom analysis on MyFXbook and set the starting date to april 1st then apply to get rid of the old data.

Sweet! Thanks Threshold! That’s much better.

toddone,

I am very happy to hear this.  Great job!  PLease keep sharing about your journey. It helps others (like myself) in more ways than you know.

You bet Stearno, I’ll do that – good or bad, I’ll report back periodically.

Great, I am having similar results, just with less drawdown (just 2% DD for 12% gain so far)! But anyhow, we all seem to make profit, indicative for the quality of this beast! Am very happy for all of us really 🙂

Congrats Geektrader!

Cheers!

Todd

Congrats, GeekTrader.  Thanks for sharing also.

Great results so far @toddone ! Keep it up!

Thank you Adrian.

Still looking very good! Is it all H4 strategies or what timeframe are you using? Mine are M30 only right now.

Timeframes vary based on the pair.  I like timeframes that “make sense” for the pair traded.  Here’s a link to the portfolio details. I posted it on the right side of the blog under the MyFxBook tracking: http://principleanalysis.blogspot.com/

Ah thank you! Very nice blog mate, keep that up and of course keep the profits rolling:)

Hey Todd,

very good results and thanks for the informations you gave! Can you tell a little bit more about the dismiss conditions?

Thanks you very much and best regards,

Patrick

Thank you for the note.  Could you rephrase the question, I’m sure what you are asking.  I don’t know what “dismiss conditions” are.

Thanks,

Todd

Hey Todd,

nice profile picture too, i like the movie. 🙂 When you build your strategies under Settings –> Ranking Options where you can specify net profit, number of trades, etc. Do you have some good advice to filter out the good ones in forefront? Thanks, Patrick
