Alpha IX Discussion

Despite the Euro tumbling to parity against the US dollar, i.e. weakening, The Apollo System strategically took positions and ended the week with a positive performance. It is important to understand how the Apollo System can not only survive but also capitalise in such situations.

How did the Apollo System manage to maneuver and leverage in times of this whipsaw volatility?

For the past week, pullback strategy has been executed for EURCAD and EURGBP at the calibrated levels whereby the Apollo System longed these pairs.

Prices continued to plunge however.

More positions were longed subsequently to strategically average out the losses. Bear in mind that margins utilised were well within the intended threshold.

Relative losses, i.e. paper losses, went as high as 28%. This is where the Apollo System began it's restoration process. Restoration is an in-built firewall mechanism which will be activated once prices go against the intended direction for a prolonged period. A double-up dollar cost averaging will be implemented when the relative drawdown is nearing the threshold, i.e. amber light alert, to mitigate the risk.

As EURCAD and EURGBP continued to plunge, the system found the optimal price to enter another set of position based on Price Action as well as confirmation from multiple indicators. The lot size entered was twice the previous volume. One notable merit of this restoration process is that margin utilised is at an acceptable range which does not put the trading account in any form of jeopardy. This can be attributed to the precise risk management in the Apollo System which has been carefully configured prior to any trade execution with the objective that the system does not over-trade or deploy risk in an unhealthy manner even in prolonged periods of restoration.

Upon restoration for EURCAD and EURGBP, prices began to stabilise and eventually pivoted in our favour as per the system's anticipation. Equilibrium was then achieved and trades were closed for a profit.
