[UPDATE] Yesterday’s Trades, and new Strategies!

Hey everyone,

Let’s address the obvious upfront: Yesterday, we took 3 almost-full losses, resulting in a net-2.8 % drawdown. For many of our long-term clients, this isn’t too unfamiliar territory. But for newer members, here’s some context that may help...

What happened:

The system performed exactly as it was designed to, all three trades fell within our maximum allowed risk for a single day. A day like this is statistically rare, but it’s always been accounted for in our planning.

While a -2.8% drawdown isn’t large by industry standards, for our system, which is highly refined and typically avoids heavy days, this was an outlier.

Our perspective:

We feel this with you. As a team, we have significant capital live, both personal and prop-funded, so every loss affects us too. The key difference is: we’ve traded this system for over 6 years, and many of our earliest clients have been here through similar periods. That context makes it easier to zoom out and stay grounded.

We’re not just a tech provider, we're a team, and a community. And we’re in this together.

What we’re doing:

Let’s be clear, we’re never okay with a day like yesterday. But reactive changes based on emotion or hindsight are not the answer.

We’re constantly testing new filters, rules, and upgrades, but we never roll anything out without hard data showing real performance improvement. Most tweaks that feel right in the moment actually reduce edge long-term.

That said, we’re currently testing several promising updates:

•⁠ ⁠Volatility-based (ATR) stop losses across all strategies - some are already

•⁠ ⁠Minimum market volume thresholds

•⁠ ⁠Directional alignment with broader market trend

•⁠ ⁠Minimum time between trades

•⁠ ⁠Session-based filtering

All of these look great in theory, but unless they actually improve performance over hundreds of trades, they won’t be implemented.

You can rest easy knowing we will never overfit the strategy to avoid one bad day at the cost of long-term consistency.

Risk management reminder:

We allow for 3 full losses in a day by design. If you’re trading a prop account and came close to breaching your daily limit, you are likely using a risk setting that’s too high. Please message your WhatsApp rep immediately so we can adjust your settings in line with our recommended risk profile.

New strategies now live in beta:

We’ve just launched two new systems this week:

1.⁠ ⁠XAUUSD (Split TP Variant) - same strategy, but with higher reward-to-risk potential and adaptive TP logic

2.⁠ ⁠GBPCHF FX Strategy - Built from scratch with ATR-based trailing stop and fresh logic for this pair

Both are live in beta for the next two weeks. Connection details and performance data will be available inside the “Strategies” folder in the Elite Toolkit Automation course page later today.

If you’d like support or setup guidance, just message your private WhatsApp contact.

Performance summary:

Despite yesterday’s drawdown, this is May's performance:

•⁠ ⁠+2.45% on the Low Risk setting

•⁠ ⁠+4.92% on the High Risk setting

We’re still on course for an incredible few months ahead. So stay focused, stay positive, and trust the process. These systems have delivered time and time again, and we’re working every day to make them even stronger.

Have a great end to your week, and here’s to some green trades ahead.

Best regards,

Euan & The TA Team

P.P.S. I have also attached image of the overall 12 month data, to give some high-level context to the slow patch we are in right now. Always helps to zoom out!
