Hi there!
One good week has ended up and I am looking optimistic to upcoming one.
Real private account which uses that algorithm, but trades assets portfolio with medium risk profile made 8.15% net profit with DD ~1% during this week, which is great from my POV.
Also, I forgot to pay potential clients attention to few key points of that system: it doesn't use any grid system or martingale logic, it doesn't place any both directional trades. It purely trades single direction in short-term perspective which exclude long duration exposure risks for account. Important notice: NO any copy trading, signal providing and etc. of clients account is allowed. If client will try to do that - I will know that, be sure, and have full rights to stop providing services to the client without any preliminary notifications and explanations. I am always honest, open and straightforward with my clients and awaiting the same from them too.
The second point I would like to talk is account size to start with and number example of potential risks (losses) and returns and as well all costs and payment calculations:
1) Min account size for medium risk profile is 100k USD, for high risk account is 50k USD. This is because the account owner must pay monthly renting (management) fees as 2.5k USD without any relation to that month future results. As well, there is weekly-based balance HWM profit split (10% for my side). That explains why account has to be good size - the client should have potentially good room of future returns to cover those direct and indirect costs. To explain it more clearly let's jump to point 2 with number example how things look.
2) Inputs: account size 100k USD, risk profile - medium risk (max balance\equity DD <=20%), monthly management fees = 2.5k USD, weekly profit split 90% client part.
Let's past week real account result: 8.15%
Before that algorithm will be launched client paid 2.5k.
Client's GROSS weekly profit is 8.15k
Client's paid weekly profit split as 10% of 8.15k = 0.815k
Client's costs: 2.5k + 0.815k = 3.315k
Let's take worse scenario and cut in twice and round to integer value (for easiest computations) further weekly profit: 8.15% / 2 => 4%
Thus, during next 3 week (the rest till end of paid month) client's GROSS profit will be 4k * 3 = 12k
Client's paid weekly profit split as 10% of 12k = 1.2k
Client's total monthly costs: 3.315k + 1.2k = 4.515k USD
Client's GROSS monthly profit: 8.15k + 12k = 20.15k USD
Client's NET monthly profit: 20.15k - 4.515k = 15.635k USD or ~15.6%
Can such ROI be every month in long term perspective? Have no idea, but I will do all my best to hold great performance as long as it possible, because I am interested in good and robust performance in long-term too.
Now, let's put a little spoon of crap in our bucket of honey. Let's talk about max risk, which client takes expecting solid returns.
Medium risk profile supposes max DD as high as 20% of initial deposit.
Can be reached through series of losses OR
for example single trade if we entry with extremely huge lot size without stop loss [this is not used in that algo of course and I wrote it just like example, all positions in algo have 3 level protections: individual position stop loss, global account stop loss, master bot supervision stop loss] OR
something like brokerage tech issues will happen OR another uncontrollable from client's side "Black Swan" event. If you are scared about such risks - you MUST leave trading at all.
Let's suppose that client will get that during the very first month of algorithm rent.
This case client's losses will be: 2.5k monthly management fees + 20k account max loss = 22.5k USD or 22.5%.
If client desire to change risk profile (max allowed DD): increase or reduce - there are no any problems - this can be set in absolutely individual manner. But client has to understand, that than lower allowed DD than lower potential returns (because it is all about lot size used for trading) and lower client's potential net profit.
That's all what I wanted to share with you today. Hope this all makes things clearly. If you have any questions - feel free to ask.
From my side - I will keep you updated.
See you and all the best for everyone ;0)
