About this strategy

This system trades only from the shortside. US-Stocks will be systematically shorted with a stopp-loss of 5-7 per cent on a close basis, profit target 7-15 %. Initial stopp is higher, avoiding daytradingrule. The first day, stopp is set larger than the 5 per cent. Approx. 10-20 days later the position will be closed. Risk goes up to 1 per cent, is right now 0,25 per cent from equity. Maximum risk should be therefore amount of open position multiplied with 0,25 per cent of the equity. So if there are 10 position open, the maximum would be 2,50 per cent, if positions are opened the same day for the whole equity. Of course these are goals only. No performance can be guaranteed, and the actual real-world results may be vastly different from these Goals.
Adding longterm fx-positions.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
