My strategy managed to overcome a rocky start to finish the month with a near breakeven result. QB Pro’s total return for December was a loss of 1.56%. That would have been a positive number had I not switched servers at an inopportune time. The system had its best day when I switched and, sudah tentu, I forgot to flip the “pada” switch overnight. I missed the most profitable day of the month.
The portfolio on December 1 included a mix of both CAD and CHF. Seperti yang anda lihat, the month started close to something of a nose dive. Everything through Dec. 9 was harrowing. Not coincidentally, that was also the day that I removed CHF from the portfolio.
Ever since Dec 10, you can see that the equity curve has more or less marched straight upward. I’m only trading CAD crosses at the moment and intend to keep it that way. While I’m tempted to up the leverage, I plan to wait for at least a week. The first few trading days of the month always seem to be the most volatile, which is rarely a good thing for me.
There’s not much else to write about. I feel like I’m dialed in right now. The only thing to do now is sit back and wait.

Hi Shaun. The currency selection is discretionary. I thought that aspect was also systematized?
Shaun Overton berkata
I wish it was. When you originally started trading my system, I traded a fixed portfolio of USD majors. Based on my experience running the strategy and through extensive backtesting, I found that it’s not a good idea to keep the portfolio static. The performance is far too dependent on market conditions. It’s better to move the portfolio to where the action is.

Hi Shaun, better luck for QB pro for this month. As I have mentioned a while ago on what money meant and our trading business as well. Both of them are spirits as well. Our intellect are being considered crap when entering spiritual realms in this world. I can go on and on by typing 2 atau 3 atau 4 pages of this. Ya, Algo style of trading is a good theory and practical in this world. Since The spiritual world system is fighting against us on a daily basis. It is a crazy 8 ball type of thing that we are dealing with. I am going after what forex house does not teach and what you do not teach us…
That’s all for now
take care and wish you a better luck on your automated system.

Hi Shaun,
We are now in the mid of March 16 and I observed that there are no trades made by QB Pro since the start of March.
Is there an update on this programme which I have missed?
Setakat ini, the trades were mostly in the red. What is your advice on this aspect?
Thank you for your time.

Hi Chi,
It’s not trading because you need to have at least $2,000 in the account. Jika tidak, the account is unable to properly replicate the intended position size. You would be overleveraged with the current account balance. If you’re not in a financial position to risk at least $2,000, then I recommend withdrawing the funds.
