Detailed: Performance Report - Hypothetical
Trading System: Euro Metrics
Developer: Advanz Team
Portfolio Size: $50,000
Program Overview:
The financial markets are often unpredictable and difficult to forecast and the foreign currency exchange market is no exception. One of the most popular methods of trading is directional, often referred to as catching a trend, but what happens if the market participants are uncommitted to any direction? And the markets trade sideways? Most trending styles of trading usually lead to large draw-downs during range bound, side ways markets, resulting in large losses. And conversely, trading strategies designed to profit in sideways markets will under-perform in trending markets. To meet this challenge, the team at Advanz Analytics assembled the Metric Series. The logic behind each Metric system is to capture opportunities from various market conditions for a specific currency. The Euro Metrics is designed to capitalize on specific characteristics of the popular Euro currency. For example during key economic announcements, the Euro can spike up and/or down sharply in a matter of minutes. It can also be the catalyst for a new trend. The Euro Metrics is comprised of the Nextreme Euro, Einstein II and the FX-23 Plus trading systems.
