About my strategy.......

Iceberg system is the result of my version of contranian hybrid (both manual and automated) approach to trading the fx markets from 2008. I am more technically inclined and still do consider the fundamentals also using multiple analysis techniques on different time frames depending on what I am anticipating.

The 'iceberg effect' refers to my trade management in that 90% of the time my equity/open positions is positive from inception. So the gain % shown on account is only the tip of the 'iceberg'....which some people say is misleading but that is just how I trade.

For example my gain % is about - 10% right now with about + 5% in equity making the net position - 5%....so the edge is keeping the equity healthy and expecting a gradual eroding of negative gain overtime while proactively managing equity and risk exposure to the portfolio.

Of course the gain and equity fluctuate but my trade management and strategy work to constantly reposition my trades with the momentary hiccup of profit when the oppurtunity presents itself.

There are 3 phases invloved each implemented at different intervals when the preset conditions are met and an defensive/offensive mechanism to allow a more robust handling of the portfolio.

I predefine the maximum drawdown risk to my clients and the figure can be customized depending on the investment size to any conceivable figure lower than 30%.

With my trading the emphasis is more skewed towards the long term and focuses on per annum results...

Oh.....and no martingale or anything dubious. I just straight riding the bulls by the horn and baiting the bears.

Moving unto phase three............not as early as I was looking at but here we go.................
