Finally, I can do it.
I have permission to share what 2hs of trades on a real high-performance trading firm looks like. I will keep the firm “undisclosed”, but this post is to give an idea what kind of trades and how fast/frequent they are.
A client of mine, using an advance/light weight platform, is performing excellent returns on the forex market. And the chart you can see by how much.
Several things to look at:
• Winning ratio is 80% (at least in these 2 hours)
• A total of 109 trades has been made over this period
• Average trade, last 206 milliseconds
• Note how transaction cost affect the system
o Blue line is without cost
o Orange accounting transaction cost
• Attempts to close, means how many times we tried to flat our position but couldn’t (because execution, or price movement). Every time there is more than one attempt, the trade is a losing trade. So, that’s the prove on how important execution quality and speed is.
Enjoy!
