1) About My Trading System: Experience, Evolution, and Philosophy

I've been involved in online trading since 2006, developing a manual trading system based on advanced mathematical algorithms. My system generates precise entry and exit signals, incorporating analysis of intraday bulletins from currency futures of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group), including British Pound, Euro FX, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, and Canadian Dollar futures. I trade G10 CME Group currency futures, both trending and reversal patterns, with every trade protected by a stop loss. This system is not a martingale strategy. My long-term goal is to open my own hedge fund.

2) A Journey of Continuous Improvement

My system has undergone extensive refinement over the years. I've focused significantly on addressing past mistakes, drawing insights from psychology to enhance my decision-making processes. This meticulous work has led to the identification and correction of bugs, resulting in a more reliable and stable system. I've also optimized my algorithms, retaining only the most effective ones, and implemented robust risk management strategies. I have complete confidence in my system.

I strive to become a disciplined trader. I set strict rules for the maximum leverage, average leverage level, and maximum drawdown each month, publishing these risk management goals at least once a month. This is my commitment to all my subscribers, ensuring you can invest with peace of mind.

3) Understanding Past Performance and Lessons Learned

I want to be transparent about my trading history. This isn't my first venture here; I've had periods of significant success, including from February 2018 to July 2019, when I managed approximately $7 million USD with around 100 paid subscribers. In 2018, my system showed an impressive 88% profit. However, I observed a pattern: when profits were more moderate (10-25% per year) and drawdowns low, clients tended to leave. In 2019, despite a 16% profit, 95% of my clients departed.

I learned that strategies promising high profits often lead to larger drawdowns, creating a "vicious circle." This realization, combined with client preferences for aggressive strategies, unfortunately led me to take on more risk with my system, resulting in some setbacks.

For example, from November 2021 to October 2022, my ARK system initially saw excellent results and client growth, with over 250% profit in six months and $15 million USD under management with 100+ subscribers. However, when I shifted to a more conservative (less risky) approach, the subscriber count dropped significantly. When I resumed more aggressive trading, it led to a substantial drawdown from a highly leveraged USD/JPY short position. While the market idea was correct (selling at 145-147-150 with targets at 135-133-131), poor execution was entirely my fault, and I take full responsibility.

More recently, in 2024, my M8888 system achieved an excellent 420% profit with a 42% maximum drawdown. However, this aggressive approach predictably led to a large drawdown, with current profits at 230% and a 70% drawdown. I understand that such results are generally unattractive. I now prioritize finding an adequate balance between risk and profit.
