Fusion Trader Discussion

if it's too good then why not do it on real account?

Good question, and an honest one you're right that a demo curve only proves the logic runs, not that it makes money. That's exactly why it's up as a demo rather than dressed as anything else. I'm still working through the execution side, and when there's a live account it'll go up alongside this one so people can compare them properly. Appreciate you asking.

can you explain the logic behind your trading strategy? or if you have any plan to sell it? I reviewed the history and it seems very good. however what i could not understood is why are you taking multiple trades at the same time in the same direction? why not just take one trade with bigger lot size?

Thank you for taking the time to actually go through the history that's a fair question and not many people ask it.

The strategy is built on support and resistance. It identifies the levels that matter, waits for price to reach one, and then trades the reaction either a rejection back off the level, or a clean break and retest from the other side. Stops sit beyond the level with an ATR buffer rather than a fixed pip distance, so they adjust to how volatile gold is in that session. I'll keep the specific level-selection rules private for now, but that's the framework.

On your question about multiple positions instead of one larger lot they don't open at the same time. Only the first entry is sized against account equity. The additional legs open only once that first position is already in profit and its stop has moved to breakeven or better, so the added size is funded by open profit rather than by new risk. A single large lot does the opposite: it commits full size at the entry, which is the point where you know the least, and every losing trade then costs the full amount.

The result is asymmetry. A losing trade stays at one unit. A trade that runs can end up at three or four. Each leg also carries its own stop, so positions can be trailed and closed in stages rather than exited all at once.

On selling: that's the plan, but only once there's a live record behind it. I'll post that here when it exists.

Mike, everyone talks about when the strategy works. What happens when the market decides it doesn’t?

That’s always the biggest question with manual trading. 😄 The market doesn’t always follow the setup, so when conditions change or the analysis is wrong, I reduce exposure and reassess rather than blindly forcing trades. There will always be losing periods—the key is managing them properly and waiting for the market to come back into conditions that fit the strategy.

With +457% gain in just 11 days and a maximum drawdown of around 63.5%, the results are certainly impressive. What I’m curious about is the risk management behind these numbers how do you plan to control the drawdown and protect the account if the strategy faces a prolonged losing streak or a major shift in market conditions?

Results seem good for now. Still it's a new account and demo, I don't believe we can expect the same result on real account. 

would you like to share what kind of strategy are you using? also I noticed that there is no SL on any of the trades. How do you propose to save the account in case of any unplanned spikes?

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the demo results are not enough to assume the same performance on a live account, so I’m treating the current results as a testing phase.

The strategy is mainly based on price action and confirmation signals, with multiple entries when the setup aligns. Regarding the lack of SL, I’m using account-level risk management rather than placing a fixed SL on every individual trade. I monitor exposure and drawdown, and the idea is to have safeguards in place to handle unexpected spikes rather than relying solely on a traditional SL.

That said, I agree that testing the strategy through different market conditions and unexpected volatility is important before considering it reliable for a real account.
