This trading bot blew up accounts, here is how to avoid this...

[@tanKk548]

thanks for the reminders! having extra buffer for the real experienced drawdown before starting is probably good idea.

Deeply understand you're required capital to trade a portfolio and test martingale if it works for your risk profile/portfolio (doesn't work for me).

Good ol fashion martingale, grid, recovery etc. just takes once

[@IM-vx6vh]

Thanks, Jacob. Any thoughts on sizing based on your portfolio max drawdown vs max drawdown of the individual strategies in the same portfolio? Suppose you have 4 strategies each with a max drawdown of 2k (so in total 8k), however, as an uncorrelated portfolio those 4 strategies have a max drawdown of only 5k; what size would you use 8k+margin or 5k+margin?

[@jacobamaral]

I'd use the bigger number, 8K+margin to be safe.

[@IM-vx6vh]

@@jacobamaralThanks, Jacob. I do the same but returns could increase significantly if one would size based on the portfolio.

Thats just a classic single logic grid+martingale.
Created to fail; only risk management is luck and withdraw.

The sharpe ratio of that portfolio is too good to be true, that should have been a warning, making 400% in a steady fashion is just to good to last. It usually indicates that one is taking high risks that have to materialize at some point.

[@jacobamaral]

True, if you can make 400% quickly you also can lose it just as quick.
