Hello everybody — I’d just like to bring to your attention a new widget on the website that allows you to see the results of our automated trading robot with the click of a button.
On the right of the pages you will see a little grey box with a graph on it.
Gain: Total gain since tracking began June 4, 2010
Drawdown: Difference between the account’s highest point and lowest point. Drawdown is important to know, because it tells us how big (or small) of a roller-coaster it takes to get the return. If trading produces 25% return with a 100% drawdown, that means that at one point the entire account was wiped out in the midst of trading. However, if we see a 10% return with a 1% drawdown, that means the account only ever went down 1% off the peak during the entire course of trading.
Daily: Average daily return (total divided by number of days tracked)
Monthly: Average interpolated monthly return
