About this strategy

Volon Value combines Fibonacci and Trend analysis in an unconventional way which allows it to actually analyse securities instead of just using the average, often meaningless Technical Analysis. Volon uses a stronger, slow time frame to find the Real Trend and then enters when there is a discount presented by the weaker, fast time frame. Once the dip is over (which can be predicted through analysis) the strategy holds on to the position to ride the continuation of the trend. These trends (which have the same lifespan as the trades) can be expected to last for about a week. This strategy of buying into a profit for less than it's worth is the technical analysis equivalent of what Warren Buffet does for fundamental analysis.

Because the strategy often buys low, its stop loss is tight and profit targets are high. This is how high risk to reward ratios can be achieved. A high risk to reward ratio is underrated, even though it is very valuable in a volatile and unpredictable market. It can't be seen in statistics or in the P/L-until it's too late. This is because it takes a max-loss scenario to see what was being risked in the trade. Many systems that can earn 10% a month consistently have such a high risk in each trade that when the inevitable drawdown comes, there are huge losses. With Volon, even in periods of drawdowns the losses are kept short. This makes it very tradeable as you wont have to worry about the trades.

When the market is choppy or down, Volon will usually have no trades at all or profitable trades in independent securities (don't correlate strongly to the market e.g. Gold). The system is designed to do this because it is almost impossible to pick a stock that will defy the short-term trend of the market. Some strategies are designed to always be in the market to increase potential reward but that is just too risky. The idea of the strategy is not to impress you with the P/L graph by having it go straight up or to have large, unsustainable returns; it's to consistently predict security prices to earn a profitable monthly return. You will see that the combination of a good risk/reward and consistent wins will make it unlikely to lose over a month to month basis.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
