The ROBOMINER EA
Mathematical
Proof for the Trading System Employed by the RoboMiner
Note- This information is current
as of September, 2008. Although the AUDNZD has been pushing
against the high end of its historical range in recent months,
the system has held due to the built in safeguards which allow
for limited extensions of that historical range. In addition,
the ability of the RoboMiner to carry on trading with the EURCHF
has been a big help to the overall system, while waiting for the
AUDNZD to return to its normal trading range. The
hypothesis is that there is a method to trade the Forex market
that limits the risk to the point where our risks are the same
or less than other types of investments. The
theory is simply that if we had $2000 and bought or sold only
.01 standard lots of the AUDNZD currency pair, then no matter
what the price went to in its historical operating range, no one
would ever get a margin call. I will show that by limiting the
investments to a small percentage of the balance that we can
achieve this result. The
currency pair that I will use for this proof is the Australian
dollar and the New Zealand dollar AUD/NZD. These two countries
are located in immediate proximity to each other and have the
same types of economies. They look and act so much alike that if
something affects one, it will almost always affect the other in
a like manner. The history of their currencies bear this out as
well. They do behave very similarly, but not exactly the same.
If we look at the history of this currency pair from the highest
price it has reached to the lowest that it achieved since 2001,
we can see that the entire range is just over 2500 pips. From a
high of 1.2966 to a low of 1.0428 is .2538 or 2538 pips.
The
center of this range is (1.0428 + 1.2966)/ 2 = 1.1697. We will
get to why this center is important later on. For now we will
use the entire range as 2500. When we look at this pair, it
becomes obvious that the wave action is about 50 pips. That is
to say that the price of the AUDNZD will frequently move up 50
pips and down by the same amount. If we buy .01 standard lots of
this currency and sell it after the price moves up 50 pips, we
will make a profit of approximately $3.60. If the price goes the
other way by 50 pips we will of course have a loss of $3.60 as
well. Grid
trading is the method of dividing the total range (2500 pips)
into sub ranges of 50 pips each. This will give us 50 sub
ranges. Every time the price moves up 50 pips, we close our buys
for a profit and open a new buy for the same number of lots.
Since we don't know if the price is going up or going to go
down, we can also sell the same number of lots. Most people that
grid trade do it this way. When
the price is climbing on the weekly and monthly charts we would
see a string of opened sells left, one for each sub-range that
the price has moved through. I am going to give you the formula
to determine what impact each individual sell left hanging has
in a moment, but first I want to describe what is actually
happening. As the price moves up, each instance of sell is
getting more negative by the same amount as each other open
sell. Each range will add the same amount of negative impact to
the profit/loss as you would make by closing out the buy for a
profit. The first instance would contribute its value times the
number of ranges that the price moves through. To add all of
these up, take the total number of ranges that the price has
gone through and multiply it by the total ranges plus one, then
divide by 2. This number is the same as if only one sell went
through each of them. Let's call each one of these a
'lot-range'. The formula is (X times X+1)/2 If the AUDNZD has a
total range of 2500 pips and has 50 sub-ranges then we multiply
50 times 51 and dived by 2 which is 1275 lot-ranges. I
won't show calculations for the contributing profit but will
give you the value for .01 standard lots per 50 pip range which
is $3.60 . To find out how negative our profit/loss column is
just multiply the $3.60 times 1275 lot ranges. That comes to
$4590. Each .01 lots will require about $5.00 of margin (at
200:1) or about $250 for all 50 ranges. This means that if you
have $4600, you could grid trade .01 lots without worrying too
much about a margin call. The question is this, is it worth it?
There are about 50 trades per month on average if you count both
buying and selling. To be conservative I will use 36 trades per
month. 36 trades times $3.60 per trade is $129.6. Our
percentage is $129.6 per month divided by $4600 needed in the
balance to trade .01 lots.
$129.6 / $4600 = 2.8% per month. If
you can live with 33.6% per year then this will work but if you
can't, then try this; only do sells on the top 25 ranges,
anything over the center point of 1.1697 and buys for any trade
under the center price of 1.1697. When the price is at the
center range you will have 1 open trade, either a buy or a sell
depending on the direction of the price change. Now the most
that the accumulated string of buys or sells that would be left
opened is 25. Using our formula, 25 x 26 / 2 = 325 lot-ranges. At
$3.60 per range, 325 lot-ranges will need $1170 to cover the .01
lots plus another $125 to cover the margin. This will cover the
whole 50 ranges, but only 25 at a time. This also means that you
will have only half of the number of trades because you are
doing only buys or only sells. $3.60 per trade times 18 trades
per month is $64.80/month. $64.80 / $1295 = 5.00% per month or
60% per year. You can greatly increase your profits by doing
fewer trades. On
top of this there is compounding. Remember the rule of 72. Every
time your profit grows by $1295 you add .01 lots to each trade.
You can potentially double your money every year.
$1000 doubled every year for 10 years is $1,024,000. How much do
you need to live on? Let's assume that you want to further
protect your balance and take out only half of what you make or
2.5% per month. For each thousand dollars that you need per
month you would need to have $1000 / 2.50% or $40,000. For
convenience you can round that to $50,000 for each $1000 you
need to take out to live on each month. The rest of your
interest will stay in your account to further protect your
balance from a margin call. What is the danger of this
happening? As we have seen, $1295 is needed to protect .01 lots
through all 50 ranges, 25 at a time. The only danger is if the
price breaks its historical boundaries and goes beyond the 25
ranges. To
prepare for this there are several money management things that
we could do: At
first we are limited, but we could start with $2000 per .01 lots
which would add several more ranges beyond the normal 25. This
is assuming that we halt trading at 25 ranges or anything over
the extreme limits which is the currencies historical highs and
lows.
Second is to raise the amount accrued before adding another
micro-lot. (.01 standard lots is 1 micro-lot).
Third is to fix your lot size that you trade after a certain
point to allow your balance to grow and only take out half of
what you make in profits. If
you take out 2000 for the month but probably won't need all of
it, open a second account that you don't trade from that you can
transfer money back and forth to from your live trading account.
This way, if you need a money transfusion to keep your trades
safe, its available in minutes instead of hours. These added
precautions are only for the case that the price sets a new
historical boundary. The likelihood of that being extreme is
mitigated by the closeness of the working conditions of the two
currencies as mentioned earlier.
There is the added risk of human mistakes and trying to be
always on hand to manually do the trades all of the time. For
this you can purchase the Robo-Miner. This simpler version of
the GT-Shadow can be set up and used by almost anyone without
any technical experience. The
RoboMiner for demo accounts is available as a free download at
the web site you are currently viewing:
There is also a slight risk that the price will quit changing as
much as it has historically done and the percentage of profits
decrease because of it, but there is also a slight possibility
that it could increase as well. You will lose some of your
profits to the swap when you have a string of buys left open but
you will make extra from the swap when you have a string of
sells left open as well. It
would be prudent to have a few extra dollars in the account to
cover the swap and extremes, so we recommend that you begin with
at least $2000. This
dissertation is on the order of a mathematical proof and not to
be construed as giving trading advice. There has been no attempt
to mitigate all risk such as dishonest brokers, government
intervention, or any other non-quantifiable risks that comes
with everyday life.
