Tapeline Systems · copy strategies

Printed in order of damage

The record,
worst first.

Every strategy we offer for copying, sorted by maximum drawdown. Then the worst single day, the number of losing days and the time it took to recover. Net return is the last column on purpose.

Simulated records with illustrative costs applied to every trade. Each x stands where a live record prints the broker-sourced figure.

Replay the featured record

Scrub through
the bad stretch.

Drag the window back to the frame where the line first crosses into the band. That is the moment most people stop copying. The record continues either way.

Down months
are shaded red.

Twelve cells, twelve months. A record that only ever shows a cumulative line hides how many of these were red.

Published, not footnoted

Every losing day
gets a line.

Each losing day keeps its sample number, the instrument, the strategy and what went wrong. Three losses in a row are printed as three lines, not one.

The gap, printed

What the strategy got.
What you got.

A copying account fills after the source, at its own price. This log prints both prices, the difference and the delay for each instruction, including the ones where the gap went against the copier.

Prices and gaps are placeholders. A positive gap is printed as readily as a negative one; neither is predictable for your account.
