Detailed: Performance Report - Hypothetical
Trading System: Pound 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 British Metrics capitalizes on the short, intermediate and long term characteristics of the British Pound. The composition of the British Metrics is derived from the GnosTICK, FX-23++ and the Einstein sTp trading systems.

IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING.
