Building a live account 4 - $5,000 to more than $75,000,000 in 15 years

  1. This is a high risk account that will be traded using a trend following system at half optimal f. The historical CAGR is 90% with a maximum drawdown of more than 80%.

    The aim is to grow the $5,000 live account into more than $75,000,000 in 15 years.

    <b><i>As money may be added to the live account from time to time, the measure of success will be the Value Added Monthly Index (“VAMI”) based at $5,000 which tracks the growth of the initial $5,000 deposit.</i></b>

    <b>Date of inception: 12 August 2013</b>

    <b>VAMI as at 12 August 2013: $5000</b>
