Strategy sheets

Read how it loses
before you copy it.

One sheet per strategy, in the same order as the record. Each starts with its maximum drawdown and says, in plain words, the market conditions that hurt it most.

TL–03 · SHEET 0101

Index mean reversion

Takes the other side of moves that have run too far, too fast, inside a single cash session.

When it loses

A trend day. The move that looks stretched keeps going, and each fade adds to the loss until the daily stop ends it.

What it is not

Not a hedge for an equity portfolio, and not suited to accounts that cannot sit through a sequence of losing days.

SIMULATED — NOT LIVE PERFORMANCE. Figures are placeholders for broker-sourced numbers.

TL–01 · SHEET 0202

Major FX session

Trades the break of the Asian range when the London open and the New York open agree on direction.

When it loses

Range days and false breaks. The confirmation arrives late or not at all, and the position closes at the stop.

What it is not

Not a news strategy. It stands aside around scheduled releases, which also means it misses some of the largest moves.

SIMULATED — NOT LIVE PERFORMANCE. Figures are placeholders for broker-sourced numbers.

TL–04 · SHEET 0303

Gold regime

One instrument, two rule sets. A regime filter decides which one is allowed to trade.

Instruments

When it loses

When the regime changes faster than the filter. Spreads widen into releases and stops fill beyond their level.

What it is not

Not a store of value or a safe haven position. It is a leveraged CFD on gold and can lose money quickly.

SIMULATED — NOT LIVE PERFORMANCE. Figures are placeholders for broker-sourced numbers.

TL–02 · SHEET 0404

FX carry filter

Slow by design: few signals, longer holds, and financing that can work for or against the position.

When it loses

Risk-off weeks, when funding currencies rally sharply. Gaps over weekends can skip the stop entirely.

What it is not

Not income. Carry is a financing difference set by the broker and can change or turn negative.

SIMULATED — NOT LIVE PERFORMANCE. Figures are placeholders for broker-sourced numbers.

No unlabelled curve

A record includes
how it was made.

Four rules govern every figure on the record and every sheet above. If a number cannot be produced under these rules, it is not published.

INPUT / 01

Labelled source

Every record carries its source in the frame: simulated, back-tested, delayed or broker-sourced. On this showcase every record is simulated, and says so.

SOURCE = SIMULATED
MODEL / 02

Costs on every trade

Spread, latency allowance and slippage are applied to every instruction, winners included, not just added to losses after the fact.

COST = SPREAD + SLIP + DELAY
OUTPUT / 03

The full tape

Every sample day stays addressable. No start date is chosen to flatter the curve, and no losing sequence is merged into a single line.

PRINT = ALL_SAMPLE_DAYS
ORDER / 04

Drawdown is printed first

Maximum drawdown, worst day and losing days come before any return figure, on every page and every sheet. The order is the policy.

SORT = MAX_DD DESC
NEXTThen read how a copy differs.

A strategy sheet describes the source account. Your account fills later, at its own price, inside your own limits.
