🔵 STABILITY THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION IS POSSIBLE
It is hard. It is not impossible.
Spread across enough systems that do not move together, get the risk right, and you can get results that hold up over years instead of one good month followed by a blow up.
This is my own personal portfolio account.

▸ THE IDEA
I wanted to see how far a small account could go. Instead of depositing 10,000 I deposited 2,000 and traded it as if it were a 10,000 account.
If a drawdown got deep, I would top it up rather than put everything in on day one.
▸ THE START WAS ROUGH
I got unlucky early. The 74.9% maximum drawdown on that account is from that period, and I had to add about 2,500 to keep running at the risk I wanted.
That is the honest part. It was not smooth from day one, and with this approach it does not have to be.
▸ WHAT HAPPENED AFTER
Around a year and a half with no serious drawdown.
83 weeks live · 17 positive months out of 20 · worst
month -3.2% · 9,003 withdrawn in profits · 14,320 in
total profit, from 2,000 to start plus 2,500 during
the bad run.
▸ WHAT IS RUNNING ON IT
Mainly the systems I have developed and sell here on MQL5, plus two more of my own that are not released yet.
