      Infinity DD = trading without SL = 100% DD finally
      Increasing volume without proportional increasing of balance = Martingale
      Z-Score = 99.9% ~ Martingale.

        3. Correct, however his trades all have a stop on them, so this doesn't apply to SteadyCapture.

          Whatever you call it. This is signs of unprofitable strategy and in most cases dangerous. You experienced all those issues more than 5 years with many traders.

            We sure have.

            Over the past 5 years we've found more strategies that don't work than most, which places us in good stead to identify those that do.

              You guys should give Nick a break, okay he runs a business and we are all here to make money, its not like he gets a good call or feeling running a business that for instance Steady has hit a bump or 2... No one has forced you to invest. Just saying. If you think the strategy isnt good, dont invest, just watch it for your own sake and see whether you was right or wrong in the end. End of.

                Alot of times trading strategy will not work once market conditions changes, this is especially true on the bigger picture from the global shift of money, such as monetary policy and so on.

                As much as trading are done technically, the bigger picture are mostly driven by fundamental aspects and key economic indicators such as interest rates, qe, inflations and so on.

                I think traders or investors should have know that all mechanical or manual trading strategy has its flaws and requires an upgrade to fit onto the existing market's motions.

                I saw the steadycapture losses are much attributed only the last few months when GBP and other pairs strengthened too quickly..

                I give an example..

                After eurchf drop to 0.90 level, the overall trend is actually back up but took 3 years to reach back this level at 1.2

                It's like when fxviper choose to scalp at 1.03 level that was his mistake and had caused him a 10% hedging loss and unable to function back to his own self due to bigger than expected dd.

                Just like every strategy, if it don't have a good edge of cutting loss early or less than 100 pips, the overall portfolio maybe biased in the wrong direction. When it's on the right direction, everyone is happy but once it is wrong. it suffers.

                And no matter how many years of trading records they all happen. Either u end up earlier or seriously, have to scale it out over-time.. Emotions can be really hard especially managing for other people's money.

                I guess SC already knew that, every experienced trader knows the downside of their own strategy and system. But now, he's making recovery, then leave him be.

                The investor are willing parties, so be it.. And over the years, all strategies have flopped over-time but of course there are times it makes money. Question is don't tank when it's not working anymore.

                    Can you define "averaging" so that we get on the same page to start with?

                      Not closing loosing trades, but instead add positions in the same direction as long as the markets goes against you, even though it's no longer a correction but a trend running against you.

                        Is it important how and when individual trades are closed?

                          You know what they say,

                          "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck"

                          It is the very definition of averaging.

                              The same hedging strategy keeps going on again selling many positions and hedging I am afraid this is going out of hand again. If the same happens I am definitaly out.
