High-Yield/Aggressive Portfolio (By TegaOyomah )
High-Yield/Aggressive Portfolio Discussion
I've noticed the drawdown periods on this portfolio tend to be a bit steep. They are much deeper than I'd like, usually more than 50-60% retracements when comparing the lows to the highs.
Although, I've consistently been able to recover from the pullbacks to reach new highs, I recognize that the portfolio will be even more profitable if I can keep the drawdown periods to around those figures mentioned earlier, making it much easier for the recovery runs to push into much further profits.
For every drawdown phase, valuable data is gotten to recognize and prevent a repetition of any possible mistake that occured along with some normal expected losses.
As at June 29, 2025, the recent drawdown period was not as steep as the one before it, so that's some progress already, but still not at the desired outcome.
I'll continue to work on this till it becomes the standard
The first half of this year has literally been a tale of two halves with regards to this portfolio.
Struggled to find any consistency in Q1, as is evident when looking at the equity curve. Dug deeper and was able to come up with profitable solutions in Q2, bringing the profits for the year to 28.89%.
Looking forward to applying all the knowledge and experience gained in the first half into Q3 and the rest of the year
So far, this was the longest run without getting into some form of drawdown.
As at today, the only lesson from the current drawdown period is to limit the max trades per day to 2. This will help keep any loss incured from a single trading day at a minimal level.
If price is still unable to generate volume and move in the desired direction after a second attempt, it's best to call it a day and look for opportunities on another day
