Zarinsky Investment System 1 RV

I have been in the quantitative finance industry for many years, having designed various high-frequency quantitative models as well as different low-frequency strategies. I have conducted in-depth research on thousands of EAs and can responsibly say that 90% of the EAs in the market are unable to achieve long-term profitability and may even result in significant losses.

I have selected models I have previously designed, combined with several EA strategies from the market that I believe can be profitable, to re-adjust and design this system.

It targets an annualized return of approximately 150% with a maximum drawdown of around 20%.

This strategy is based on the volatility of EURGBP, relying on various trading strategies combined, only taking long positions, and having hard stop-losses. It includes news filtering, time filtering, and more.

1. Whether there are trades is determined by market conditions; there may be only a few trades per day or dozens of trades, with more trades in better market conditions.

2. The equity curve of a perfect EA often fluctuates up and down, and stop-loss is crucial. Some strategies show a straight-line equity curve but tend to revert to zero.

3. Do not approach trading with a get-rich-quick mentality. A good EA won't generate profits every day; each EA has its specific optimal market conditions. In some unfavorable market conditions, it may break even or make small profits, while in favorable conditions, it may experience rapid profit growth. Enduring the hardships of the 80% leads to the rewards of the 20%.

4. Embrace a conservative investment mindset, seeking reasonable long-term stable returns under the premise of stability. Reject reliance on luck, avoid strategies without stop-losses or those that stubbornly hold positions, as they carry significant hidden risks. Use stop-losses to secure profits and strive for stable long-term returns through continuous stop-loss and take-profit actions.

5. Just as manual trading requires the right mindset, using an EA demands the same. Using an EA is like gardening; the more attention you pay, the less it grows because you become impatient with the slow process. When you stop fixating on it, it grows without you realizing it. Foster the correct investment mindset and avoid impatience.

6. Slow = Fast: Consistent growth indicates manageable risk, meaning slow equals fast.

7. Fast = Margin Call: Uncontrollable risk leads to blowing up the account, equating fast with a margin call.
