The systems trade the FX markets 90%, Oil 3%, and Gold 4% and BTC 3% of the time. Trades are placed using automated EAs, but are only in search of price movements to the extreme in order to take limit trades against any exacerbated moves in the markets.

I use 1:500 leverage and generally only trade lots between 0.01 to 0.04 and 0.06 at the max. This offers me more than enough return without massive exposure, which provides an excellent opportunity for lagers accounts. Should you have an account larger than $1000 you could double the allocation to 0.02 to 0.08 and 0.12 at the max.

Risk management is the key to all of this and as such I have factored in the allocation size accordingly. Just note that generally trading a mean reversion type approach can generate open positions that sometimes do not go in your favour, but the ultimate left tails have been factored for within the trading systems.

Use a minimum of $1000 and accept an open trade draw down of between $300 - $400. *NOTE - the hefty drawdown is open trades and not closed.

It is a risky way of trading, but the payoff justifies the R:R.
