Expert advisor and aggressive trading

Analyzing the history of the Jianhui account, you cannot see the capital curve climbing straight to the sky. However, you can see the consistently implemented plan. But in this case, the expert advisor was responsible for the discipline, which implemented the assumed strategy on behalf of the trader. Occasional take profit, set in half of the cases stop loss, transactions lasting from one day to even 1,5 months. Transaction volume? Not too big, not too small. But taking into account that the most frequently at least several positions were opened at a time, it can be concluded that the strategy itself was actually characterized by high aggressiveness.

What was Jianhui trading on? There were practically only 3 instruments in the game - US30, USTEC and XAGUSD. The trader has been making both small gains and small losses most of the time. The biggest "slip-up" was on the US30 - CFD on the index Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 - closing a position with a balance of over $ 2400. But also on the same instrument, he also noted the highest profit from a single position, which was a trifle of $ 6000. And that's actually the essence of this strategy. There were a lot of items that had been realized that had no effect whatsoever that they ultimately stayed "Overwhelmed" by some very successful trades. In particular, the regular payment of profits helped to control the risk. This is another example in the history of the TOTM competition that it is an exceptionally helpful defense mechanism against giving back to the market what has already been developed.
