Philosophy & Objective
Monthly, not daily
Days will win and lose — that's expected. What matters is every month closes positive. ~60% per month, stacked consistently.
Engineered to last
Every setting — lot size, trading window, stop rules — is calculated to make 12 months viable, not just one good month.
12 months is the target
The fastest path to extraordinary wealth isn't speed. It's compounding — and the patience to let it run. Even at 6 months, the numbers are already extraordinary.
Everything below documents the full mechanism — how it works, what to expect, and how every rule is justified. No black boxes.
Performance Expectation
Daily Return Distribution
Returns are not fixed on a daily basis. The mechanism runs monthly (20 trading days) — winning days offset losing days. End-of-month expectation: 60–90%.
| Day Type | Return | Probability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very Good Day | 15% |

| Good Day | 30% |

| Normal Day | 40% |

Volume Scaling
How Capital Size Affects Your Returns
The strategy always enters at the minimum lot size (0.01) — the smallest unit most brokers allow. Because the copy system cannot go below this floor, all copiers receive the same dollar profit or loss. However, the percentage impact scales with your capital size.
| Your Capital | Example Strategy P&L | Your $ Result | Your % Impact | Ratio vs Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,000+ | +$200 (+10%) | +$200 | ~10% | ✓ Matches exactly |
| $1,000 | +$200 (+10%) | +$200 | ~20% | 2× amplified |
| $500 | +$200 (+10%) | +$200 | ~40% | 4× amplified |
Brokers with 0.001 min lot (0.1 oz): On these platforms, the copy system can scale down proportionally — your % returns and risks will mirror the strategy exactly, equivalent to a $2,000+ account regardless of your capital size.

For Copiers
Recommendations for Copiers
Do
- Optimal capital $2,000+ for the most accurate lot ratio. Minimum accepted: $1,000.
- Withdraw profits weekly, keep the principal intact to maintain strategy efficiency.
- Set an Equity Stop-Loss above $600 for accounts under $2,000 — necessary space for the strategy to operate at full capacity.
- Evaluate monthly, not based on individual day performance.
Don't
- Don't set SL too close on individual trades — SL is actively managed; extra stops risk false triggers.
- Don't manually intervene in open positions during drawdowns — the strategy has its own logic.
- Don't use your entire savings. Only use capital you can fully afford to lose.

Risk Management
4 Layers of Capital Protection
01
Hard Cap Volume — 0.08 Lot
Total volume across all positions is hard-capped at 0.08 lot at all times. Acts as a pressure valve protecting the account from sudden abnormal volatility — flash spikes, liquidity gaps.
02
Active Stop-Loss — Flexible & Controlled
No forced holding of losing positions, but no immediate cut at technical levels either. Positions close after the market retraces to the intended SL point — designed to avoid routine liquidity sweeps.
03
No Overnight / Weekend / Sensitive Periods
All positions are closed before session end. No overnight holds, no weekend carries, no trading during major news events. A hard, non-negotiable rule to eliminate gap risk and uncontrollable exposure.
04
Force Stop-Loss at −30% Equity
If account equity drops more than 30%, all positions are force-closed immediately — regardless of market conditions, with zero exceptions. Final defense against Black Swan events. At normal trading volumes, the probability of reaching this level is extremely low.
Performance Fee
High-Water Mark Model
Fees on Net New Profits Only
Performance fees are charged exclusively on profits that exceed your previous peak equity — not on total balance. You are never charged twice on the same profits.
Losses Must Be Recovered First
If the strategy goes through a losing period, the provider must first recover all losses and surpass the previous profit high before any new performance fees apply.
Aligned Incentives
This model ensures the provider only earns when you are genuinely in profit above your previous high. No recovery, no fee — our interests are fully aligned.
Managed by cTrader
The High-Water Mark calculation and fee deduction are handled automatically by the cTrader Copy platform — transparent, verifiable, and not controlled by the provider.
