In <\/span>the <\/span>next <\/span>part <\/span>of <\/span>our <\/span>series <\/span>on <\/span>successful <\/span>FTMO <\/span>Traders, <\/span>we <\/span>will <\/span>look <\/span>at <\/span>a <\/span>trader <\/span>who <\/span>successfully <\/span>used <\/span>the <\/span>method <\/span>of <\/span>increasing <\/span>positions <\/span>in <\/span>a <\/span>profitable <\/span>trade\u2014<\/span>and <\/span>his <\/span>return <\/span>was <\/span>indeed <\/span>above <\/span>average.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Increasing <\/span>positions <\/span>in <\/span>a <\/span>trade <\/span>that <\/span>is <\/span>already <\/span>profitable <\/span>and <\/span>moving <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>expected <\/span>direction\u2014<\/span>also <\/span>known <\/span>as <\/span><\/a>pyramiding\u2014<\/span>is <\/span>a <\/span>strategy <\/span>that <\/span>allows <\/span>a <\/span>trader <\/span>to <\/span>boost <\/span>the <\/span>profit <\/span>potential <\/span>of <\/span>a <\/span>position <\/span>without <\/span>unnecessarily <\/span>increasing <\/span>risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At <\/span>first <\/span>glance, <\/span>this <\/span>may <\/span>seem <\/span>like <\/span>a <\/span>simple <\/span>task, <\/span>but <\/span>only <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>traders <\/span>manage <\/span>to <\/span>apply <\/span>this <\/span>method <\/span>of <\/span>adding <\/span>to <\/span>their <\/span>positions <\/span>successfully. <\/span>Most <\/span>traders <\/span>tend <\/span>to <\/span>close <\/span>their <\/span>positions\u2014<\/span>or <\/span>at <\/span>least <\/span>a <\/span>portion <\/span>of <\/span><\/a>them\u2014<\/span>once <\/span>they <\/span>reach <\/span>a <\/span>certain <\/span>profit. <\/span>In <\/span>the <\/span>worst-<\/span>case <\/span>scenario, <\/span>they <\/span>add <\/span>to <\/span>losing <\/span>positions, <\/span><\/a>hoping <\/span>the <\/span>market <\/span>will <\/span>eventually <\/span>reverse <\/span>and <\/span>yield <\/span>even <\/span>more <\/span>profit <\/span>than <\/span>they <\/span>would <\/span>have <\/span>gained <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>original <\/span>entry <\/span>point. <\/span>However, <\/span>this <\/span>approach <\/span>unnecessarily <\/span>increases <\/span>the <\/span>risk <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>trade, <\/span>in <\/span>addition <\/span>to <\/span>any <\/span>potential <\/span>return, <\/span>and <\/span>we <\/span>strongly <\/span>advise <\/span>against <\/span>it <\/span>for <\/span>most <\/span>traders.<\/span><\/p>\n

As <\/span>we <\/span>mentioned, <\/span>our <\/span>trader <\/span>managed <\/span>pyramiding <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>highest <\/span>level <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>trading <\/span>period, <\/span>and <\/span>his <\/span>equity <\/span>curve <\/span>reflects <\/span>that. <\/span>Despite <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>drawdowns, <\/span>he <\/span>remained <\/span>in <\/span>positive <\/span>territory <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>beginning. <\/span>Fortunately, <\/span>the <\/span>periods <\/span>of <\/span>growth <\/span>were <\/span>longer <\/span>and <\/span>steeper, <\/span>so <\/span>the <\/span>end <\/span>result <\/span>certainly <\/span>made <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>happy. <\/span>We, <\/span>in <\/span>turn, <\/span>were <\/span>pleased <\/span>with <\/span>his <\/span>high <\/span>consistency <\/span>score.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another <\/span>positive <\/span>is <\/span>the <\/span>fact <\/span>that <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>didn\u2019t \u201c<\/span>go <\/span>crazy\u201d <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>end <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>trading <\/span>period <\/span>by <\/span>risking <\/span>more <\/span>and <\/span>more <\/span>money <\/span>in <\/span>pursuit <\/span>of <\/span>even <\/span>greater <\/span>profits\u2014<\/span>so <\/span>things <\/span>turned <\/span>out <\/span>very <\/span>well.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>profit <\/span>of <\/span>over $<\/span>50,000 <\/span>in <\/span>two <\/span>weeks <\/span>is <\/span>an <\/span>excellent <\/span>result. <\/span>With <\/span>an <\/span>account <\/span>size <\/span>of $<\/span>200,000, <\/span>that\u2019s <\/span>a <\/span>return <\/span>of <\/span>over <\/span>25%, <\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>far <\/span>from <\/span>an <\/span>everyday <\/span>occurrence. <\/span>Perhaps <\/span>the <\/span>only <\/span>blemish <\/span>on <\/span>this <\/span>performance <\/span>was <\/span>a <\/span>period <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>middle <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>trading <\/span>phase <\/span>when <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>executed <\/span>several <\/span>poor <\/span>trades <\/span>in <\/span>a <\/span>single <\/span>day, <\/span>and <\/span>his <\/span>loss <\/span>nearly <\/span>reached <\/span>the <\/span>Maximum <\/span>Daily <\/span>Loss <\/span>limit. <\/span>Fortunately, <\/span>he <\/span>recovered <\/span>by <\/span>opening <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>smaller <\/span>positions <\/span>later <\/span>that <\/span>day, <\/span>which <\/span>likely <\/span>helped <\/span>him <\/span>regain <\/span>composure <\/span>before <\/span>continuing <\/span>his <\/span>profitable <\/span>run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>trader\u2019s <\/span>statistics, <\/span>we <\/span>can <\/span>see <\/span>that <\/span>his <\/span>average <\/span>risk-<\/span>reward <\/span>ratio (<\/span>RRR) <\/span>was <\/span>1.46, <\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>a <\/span>solid <\/span>result. <\/span>A <\/span>win <\/span>rate <\/span>of <\/span>69.23% <\/span>is <\/span>also <\/span>very <\/span>strong; <\/span>with <\/span>an <\/span>RRR <\/span>around <\/span>1.5, <\/span>it\u2019s <\/span>practically <\/span>a <\/span>formula <\/span>for <\/span>success. <\/span>Over <\/span>the <\/span>course <\/span>of <\/span>nine <\/span>trading <\/span>days, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>opened <\/span>78 <\/span>positions <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>total <\/span>volume <\/span>of <\/span>61 <\/span>lots. <\/span>That\u2019s <\/span>less <\/span>than <\/span>one <\/span>lot <\/span>per <\/span>position, <\/span>which\u2014<\/span>on <\/span>a $<\/span>200,000 <\/span>account\u2014<\/span>signals <\/span>a <\/span>relatively <\/span>conservative <\/span>approach (<\/span>and <\/span>we <\/span>certainly <\/span>commend <\/span>that).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On <\/span>the <\/span>other <\/span>hand, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>sometimes <\/span>opened <\/span>multiple <\/span>positions, <\/span>so <\/span>opening <\/span>larger <\/span>ones <\/span>might <\/span>have <\/span>been <\/span>unnecessarily <\/span>challenging <\/span>for <\/span>him <\/span>from <\/span>a <\/span>psychological <\/span>standpoint. <\/span>As <\/span>mentioned <\/span>earlier, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>was <\/span>active <\/span>for <\/span>only <\/span>nine <\/span>trading <\/span>days\u2014<\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>quite <\/span>a <\/span>short <\/span>period <\/span>to <\/span>generate <\/span>such <\/span>a <\/span>profit. <\/span>Four <\/span>of <\/span>those <\/span>trading <\/span>days <\/span>ended <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>red, <\/span>but <\/span>thanks <\/span>to <\/span>a <\/span>solid <\/span>risk-<\/span>reward <\/span>ratio <\/span>and <\/span>a <\/span>high <\/span>success <\/span>rate, <\/span>he <\/span>still <\/span>ended <\/span>up <\/span>making <\/span>what <\/span>can <\/span>only <\/span>be <\/span>described <\/span>as <\/span>an <\/span>impressive <\/span>return.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A <\/span>glance <\/span>at <\/span>his <\/span>trading <\/span>journal <\/span>reveals <\/span>that <\/span>he <\/span>doesn\u2019t <\/span>strictly <\/span>follow <\/span>any <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>most <\/span>common <\/span>trading <\/span>styles. <\/span><\/a>In <\/span>some <\/span>cases, <\/span>he <\/span>held <\/span>trades <\/span>for <\/span>more <\/span>than <\/span>two <\/span>days; <\/span>in <\/span>others, <\/span>he <\/span>closed <\/span>positions <\/span>after <\/span>just <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>minutes\u2014<\/span>and <\/span>often <\/span>didn\u2019t <\/span>even <\/span>keep <\/span>them <\/span>open <\/span>for <\/span>an <\/span>hour. <\/span>The <\/span>good <\/span>news <\/span>is <\/span>that <\/span>he <\/span>placed <\/span>stop <\/span>losses <\/span>on <\/span>all <\/span>of <\/span>his <\/span>trades, <\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>something <\/span>we <\/span>can <\/span>only <\/span>praise. <\/span>And <\/span>since <\/span>he <\/span>avoided <\/span>opening <\/span>overly <\/span>large <\/span>positions, <\/span>it\u2019s <\/span>no <\/span>surprise <\/span>he <\/span>kept <\/span>his <\/span>losses <\/span>under <\/span>control\u2014<\/span>none <\/span>of <\/span>his <\/span>trades <\/span>resulted <\/span>in <\/span>a <\/span>loss <\/span>greater <\/span>than <\/span>1% <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/span>trader <\/span>often <\/span>opened <\/span>his <\/span>trades <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>night <\/span>in <\/span>European <\/span>time (<\/span>or <\/span>platform <\/span>time), <\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>likely <\/span>due <\/span>to <\/span>his <\/span>place <\/span>of <\/span>residence. <\/span>He <\/span>most <\/span>frequently <\/span>traded <\/span>gold, <\/span>which <\/span>has <\/span>long <\/span>been <\/span>the <\/span>most <\/span>popular <\/span>instrument <\/span>among <\/span>FTMO <\/span>Traders.<\/span><\/p>\n

An <\/span>interesting <\/span>statistic <\/span>is <\/span>the <\/span>success <\/span>rate <\/span>of <\/span>his <\/span>buy <\/span>and <\/span>sell <\/span>trades. <\/span>Although <\/span>he <\/span>opened <\/span>significantly <\/span>more <\/span>long <\/span>positions (<\/span>buy), <\/span>his <\/span>profit <\/span>from <\/span>short <\/span>positions (<\/span>sell) <\/span>was <\/span>up <\/span>to $<\/span>7,000 <\/span>higher <\/span>than <\/span>from <\/span>long <\/span>positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As <\/span>always, <\/span>we <\/span>will <\/span>also <\/span>look <\/span>at <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>trader\u2019s <\/span>successful <\/span>trades <\/span>to <\/span>show <\/span>how <\/span>he <\/span>was <\/span>able <\/span>to <\/span>effectively <\/span>add <\/span>to <\/span>his <\/span>positions <\/span>when <\/span>in <\/span>profit. <\/span>In <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>case, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>was <\/span>speculating <\/span>on <\/span>a <\/span>continuation <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>uptrend <\/span>in <\/span>gold, <\/span>which <\/span>began <\/span>after <\/span>the <\/span>price <\/span>dropped <\/span>to <\/span>the $<\/span>3,200 <\/span>per <\/span>troy <\/span>ounce <\/span>level. <\/span>When <\/span>the <\/span>price <\/span>continued <\/span>to <\/span>rise <\/span>after <\/span>a <\/span>second <\/span>minor <\/span>swing <\/span>and <\/span>broke <\/span>above <\/span>short-<\/span>term <\/span>resistance, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>opened <\/span>additional <\/span>positions, <\/span>which <\/span>he <\/span>closed <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>following <\/span>consolidation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When <\/span>the <\/span>price <\/span>continued <\/span>to <\/span>rise, <\/span>he <\/span>opened <\/span>additional <\/span>positions, <\/span>keeping <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>one <\/span>open <\/span>and <\/span>closing <\/span>it <\/span>last. <\/span>In <\/span>total, <\/span>after <\/span>closing <\/span>all <\/span>of <\/span>these <\/span>positions, <\/span>he <\/span>made <\/span>a <\/span>solid $<\/span>22,200. <\/span>After <\/span>opening <\/span>the <\/span>second <\/span>position, <\/span>he <\/span>didn\u2019t <\/span>need <\/span>to <\/span>increase <\/span>his <\/span>risk <\/span>at <\/span>all, <\/span>as <\/span>the <\/span>profit <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>trade <\/span>could <\/span>cover <\/span>a <\/span>large <\/span>portion <\/span>of <\/span>any <\/span>potential <\/span>losses <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>other <\/span>positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>second <\/span>case <\/span>is <\/span>an <\/span>even <\/span>better <\/span>example <\/span>of <\/span>how <\/span>the <\/span>strategy <\/span>works <\/span>when <\/span>all <\/span>positions <\/span>are <\/span>kept <\/span>open <\/span>until <\/span>the <\/span>end. <\/span>The <\/span>only <\/span>minor <\/span>criticism <\/span>is <\/span>that <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>opened <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>position <\/span>on <\/span>Friday <\/span>night, <\/span>meaning <\/span>he <\/span>held <\/span>it <\/span>over <\/span>the <\/span>weekend\u2014<\/span>an <\/span>action <\/span>that <\/span>always <\/span>carries <\/span>the <\/span>added <\/span>risk <\/span>of <\/span>a <\/span>gap <\/span>and <\/span>potentially <\/span>larger-<\/span>than-<\/span>expected <\/span>losses. <\/span>In <\/span>this <\/span>case, <\/span>the <\/span>trader <\/span>was <\/span>fortunate: <\/span>a <\/span>price <\/span>gap <\/span>did <\/span>occur, <\/span>but <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>right <\/span>direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/span>trader <\/span>opened <\/span>two <\/span>more <\/span>positions <\/span>early <\/span>Monday <\/span>morning (<\/span>platform <\/span>time), <\/span>and <\/span>after <\/span>a <\/span>brief <\/span>consolidation, <\/span>the <\/span>price <\/span>made <\/span>a <\/span>more <\/span>significant <\/span>move <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>right <\/span>direction. <\/span>He <\/span>was <\/span>therefore <\/span>able <\/span>to <\/span>close <\/span>all <\/span>his <\/span>positions <\/span>before <\/span>noon <\/span>European <\/span>time. <\/span>He <\/span>opened <\/span>one <\/span>more <\/span>position <\/span>shortly <\/span>afterward <\/span>but <\/span>closed <\/span>it <\/span>after <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>minutes\u2014<\/span>likely <\/span>the <\/span>right <\/span>decision. <\/span>The <\/span>total <\/span>profit <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>four <\/span>open <\/span>positions <\/span>was $<\/span>16,300, <\/span>which <\/span>is <\/span>once <\/span>again <\/span>a <\/span>great <\/span>result.<\/span><\/p>\n
