FXC - Real Trading Performance
I. TRADING APPROACH
FXC (or FXI - Continuous) is a modification of the FXI trading strategy, which trades automatically several (3-4) times a day. There is a special order placement procedure, which places the trades on negative slippage (i.e. with additional profit), or signals are recalculated and the basket trade is placed again. This increases the risk adjusted profitability (the Profit to Loss Ratio and Sharpe Ratio). Although the order placement generates some risk free profit, the price that we pay for it is taking the risk of trading the FXI strategy itself. Since it is virtually impossible to back test the FXC performance, the strategy has been traded for a while on the MT4 simulation trading platform before going live. More on the FXI strategy can be found on the FXI Strategy page.
II. PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING FOREX CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES.
