Growex Trading Strategy Tests

A separate section is dedicated to the trading approach. Under this section, the developer explains the entries and the approach used. All entries are automated and monitored 24/5 using proprietary software. Entries occur only when there is a stronger than normal movement followed by a probability of a pullback.

On the strategy, the vendor claims that the trading does not involve the Martingale principle. Instead, the system uses a manually controlled grid approach. The lot sizes are increased mildly and Safety hard stops help to control the risk according to the vendor. 

No backtests are present as the vendor claims that it is not possible to backtest their trading due to the combined manual and automated approach they use. This is disappointing as we are unable to assess the performance and efficacy of the approach using historical data.

From the trading stats, we find that the account has a total profit of 602.28% and an absolute gain of 85.66%. There is a huge difference between the two values, which suggests that the strategy used is not effective and also is in the high-risk category.  A drawdown value of 34.29% is present for this account that started trading in February 2020.  

The total number of trades used is 954 with a profitability of 69% and a profit factor of 2.00. From the trading history, we can see lots of varying sizes used ranging from 0.05 up to 0.86. The varying and high lot sizes also confirm our suspicion that the strategy is not a low-risk one.
