The total DD comes from combining all the trades from all the strategies in one list. Then sorting that list by exit time and calculating the DD. That is the big surprise.

For example lets say we have two strategis each makes 1 trade a day. So if strategy #1 is +500$ on day one and -300$ on day two, its DD is 300$. If strategy #2 is -300$ on day one and +500$ on day two, it also has a DD of 300$. What is a daily DD of trading together?

300

No its not its ZERO!
Day 1: +500 + -300 = +200
Day 2: -300 +500 = +200

Now I know why 95% fail.

I learned it in first grade.

....it can more profitable to add a losing strategy into a basket.

.... don't concentrate on the net profit

... delete from the page the currency pair, the entry time and the entry/exit prices. They are not relevant .....


If someone has a legitimate and honest question I'll gladly answer, but if you want to make some sarcastic remark pls keep it to yourself.

In that thread I even stated that it can more profitable to add a losing strategy into a basket.

Do you want me to prove it?

Please educate me. I would like to know.

Ok I'll prove it with your help in two ways. (You will need to answer questions)
First story:
You are going on a street and see on a corner some guy tossing a coin. You stand in front of him and stare.
From your left (the side is very important lol) comes another guy (or girl) and stands by you. All this time a guy tosses a coin. After a whial a guy on your left asks you if you want to bet on the coin toss. You ask him what are the odds that he gives. He says: If its head he will give you 2K and if its tail you will give him 3K.

Will you play with him? Is it a winning strategy for you?

p.s. Because you left your house in a hurry you took only 10K.
