Hi gabiscriba,
Petko does a similar thing by increasing risk on his top performers. Petko has a scaling up plan he developed and uses to scale up with his top performers. He shows how to do this in his “The Complete FTMO Challenge” course. I think I can remember his sharing the scaling up plan in the 21 day course. Basically Petko will wait until he has 3% profit and then will double his risk from 1% to 2% such that if his account draws down it will only draw down a maximum of 2% leaving his top performer with a worst case of 1% profit. Petko has used his scaling up plan in some of the earlier FTMO robot versions. Petko uses his scaling up plan to pass the challenges more quickly and has passed challenges using the scaling up plan and has shared this on the forum in the past. So I think Pranav is following Petko’s scaling up strategy by doing a similar thing.
Alan,
