Strategy Providers
Skillful traders that have a proven track record and choose to share their successful strategies with the FXTM PMD.
Suitability Test
In order for the FXTM PMD to make appropriate investments for PMD clients, we must obtain the necessary information with regards to their investment objectives, financial situation and knowledge and experience.
Return (%)
The actual percentage rate (positive or negative) of an investment during a specific period. [End Strategy Value/Begin Strategy Value -1] * 100 = Return (%)
Sharpe Ratio
Illustrates how good the return of a strategy was for the risk taken. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the return for the same level of risk.
Volatility
The average of all the daily returns (positive & negative) for a specific period of time. The lower the volatility, the more conservative the strategy.
Standard Deviation
A statistical measurement that enlightens historical volatility. A more volatile strategy will have a higher standard deviation.
Maximum Drawdown
The maximum % of loss a portfolio would have lost by investing in a strategy. It is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum point for the strategy for a specific period. Maximum drawdown helps to determine a strategy’s financial risk.
