5 years ago, I was a newbie myself.
I had to find out the secrets behind trading like all of you searching for gold here.
I lost some money. ($15.000!) Accidentally I even lost $3000 in one day!
My entire savings were gone… I couldn’t stand it.
I programmed and programmed… years after years…
After working for 3 years, I finally started to work together with some other programmers. The next year we launched the first strategy @ zulutrade. Unfortunately, after a couple of months, the account of $25.000 suddenly… (we all know what happened then…)
The previous year I was able to find some very effective improvements. It’s difficult to trade efficient in rapidly changing markets with only preset algorithm codes. Preset strategies have to be able to adapt themselves. Strategies have to be constructed by dividing the strategy in different layers that will be activated during a certain type of market.
This time I wanted to do everything by the book. Building a website, doing backtests, the codes had to be just perfect. (no doubts about the codes) Eventually backtests finally displayed the desired level of perfectionism. Recently we launched PipShip Strategy.
We are very curious about the opinions all of you have about the strategy we made.
Above a message I wrote years and years before. Today I’m managing a true investment firm.
We are now using even more advanced strategies. (14 individual strategies trading the FX-market)
The new business is managed by three individuals;
- director and IT systems manager
- client relation manager
- investor
We are working together with lawyers (contracts), tax lawyers (tax, administration), web designers (prof website), licency experts, AFM (autoritiy financial market Netherlands), broker (SAXO BANK), notary (guard of deposits), other money managers, firms and banks to set up two consumer markets; a 1) mass market and 2) exclusive market.
- mass market by using banks and other money managers to distribute this new product to the market < 100k
- exclusive market by using our own investment firm clients > 100k (dinners with clients to present half year performance etc of three year trading period)
Up to 20% of client deposits or stocks and bonds portfolio’s can be distributed towards this new firm (of current portfolio or equity available). In the future we will also set up automated trading for gold, silver, oil, gas and cfd spots. Then clients will be able to set up diversified and actively managed portfolios up to about 60% of current portfolio or equity available.
At the end of this thread new messages will be added describing the way we are trading forex and questions can be asked how to trade FX effective.
That will take a couple of months to calculate backtests. We think LIVE data now has to support the strength of the strategy.
