The Banker is a low-risk Foreign Exchange strategy with our longest official track record, dating back more than 8.5 years. Managed by a team of award-wining Hedge Fund traders, the strategy fundamentally trades with the trend, utilizing a combination of manual market assessment and advanced proprietary technology to identify long term trends.
Money management is optimized through diverse asset allocation across the most liquid currency pairs, including the EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and EUR/JPY. Our approach leverages multiple trading systems operating concurrently to maximize profitability while staying within ridged risk parameters.
Risk management is an integral part of the strategy, and it does not rely on excessive leverage. We maintain a conservative market exposure by holding positions for a relatively short duration, and each order is accompanied by stop losses (SL). The effectiveness of this approach has been extensively validated through stress testing dating back to 2016.
FAQs
What are the primary risk factors involved in The Banker?
Volatile markets and rapid trend reversals pose risks despite the presence of stop loss (SL) orders. Fast-moving markets may result in worse execution than expected, although most orders are typically executed at the SL level. Sideway markets can lead to multiple small losses over a few trading days, although this occurrence is infrequent. Position sizing and the number of positions are adjusted to manage risk.
How does the hedging strategy feature work?
Hedging stop loss (SL) orders can be trailed to new highs in the portfolio, providing a comfortable risk management approach. Regular assessments are made to identify weaknesses in strategies, acknowledging that certain scenarios may make profitability impossible.
What was the largest drawdown incident experienced by The Banker?
Since 2020 the worst drawdown incident was a -7.86% decline (-). This particular event stands out as the largest in terms of percentage loss. However, it is important to note the loss was fully recovered within a 60-day period, and The Banker was still positive for the year after suffering the loss.
Has there been any changes to trading style throughout the years?
The Banker's trend-following strategy has remained consistent over the years. However, timeframes were adjusted at the end of 2020 for more stable performance, and position sizing was modified to achieve smoother results. Monthly returns are now more likely to range between 3% and 10% instead of exceeding 20% as seen in previous years.
