There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider
whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read,
understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker
before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
Useful recommendations when copying my system “ARK Futures” (FX futures CME):
Do not idealize the results of my trading. Stable every month for a long period of time, at least over a period of several years, you are unlikely to receive a plus every month, this is not a bank deposit. There will be periods of subsidence, since everything in this world is cyclical and the results in trading are no exception, after growth always follows a decline or for some time there is a stagnation in growth and this should be perceived normally.
Diversify your savings - do not put all your eggs in one basket.
Constantly and continuously monitor the results, it is desirable to do this several times a week, so you will be calmer.
Understand that profitability is not linear, it is not a bank deposit, that income received in the past cannot serve as a guarantee of receiving such income in the future.
Do not worry and don’t share your feelings with me about where the market will go or what you think is wrong at the moment (I don’t have a psychological session service), because there is a stop loss for every deal , there is a risk limit. Excessive anxiety only ruins the result.
There are periods, several trading sessions, several trading weeks when there is no trading activity, this is normal. Permanent presence in the market and constant trading in no way affects the better profit, does not make it anymore, sometimes just a few trading sessions make the result for a whole month. You need to be able to wait, work out only clear signals and then the result will be much better.
There is a possibility that you may lose some or all of your investments and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
Sean, no psychoanalysis requested. Investors look at expected returns and at likely risks, and the balance between them. You said this system is pretty good, so this must be your assessment based on your analysis. I’m asking you what relevant aspects of the system prompted your assessment, that’s all. Why is it a “sound system” or “pretty good”?

Have a nice weekend.
My system has undergone extensive refinement over the years. I’ve focused significantly on addressing past mistakes, drawing insights from psychology to enhance my decision-making processes. This meticulous work has led to the identification and correction of bugs, resulting in a more reliable and stable system. I’ve also optimized my algorithms, retaining only the most effective ones, and implemented robust risk management strategies. I have complete confidence in my system.
I strive to become a disciplined trader. I set strict rules for the maximum leverage, average leverage level, and maximum drawdown each month, publishing these risk management goals at least once a month. This is my commitment to all my subscribers, ensuring you can invest with peace of mind.
Every month, I establish and adhere to strict risk parameters. For your peace of mind and based on your risk preferences, I strongly recommend setting your risk limit to no more than 10-15-20% after subscribing to the system.
mpressive results so far. Over 130% this year is extremely good! However, I would like to point out the risks! Max leverage 17! This means that if a trade is down by 5%, the system would be at around -90%! On C2, there is no system older than 2 years with a max leverage > 15 that hasn’t crashed yet. Of course, it’s possible that this particular system will achieve that, but the odds are clearly not in its favor.
If the system survives for 20 years and makes 130% every year, $30,000 would turn into over $500,000,000. So far, you could have made very good money with this system — no doubt, I would have gladly earned that 130% myself. However, I want to make it clear that the probability of a massive drawdown, or even a total loss, is extremely high! I just don’t want anyone to say later that they didn’t know…
You draw the right conclusions, absolutely right in your reasoning. But at the moment, even with a great desire, I will not open the leverage of 1:17. The system and restrictions will not allow me to do this, since the funds of subscribers who joined my trading are more than + 2 millions USD.
