This first graphic shows the balance line of the top 4 selected EA’s over the last 28 days. This last week was not kind to my portfolio. I believe this was due to the markets waiting for the Non-Farm Payroll report that comes out on the first Friday of the month. This report can and often does result in extreme market volatility. This volatility can then hit Expert Advisors stop losses which is what happened causing the balance line to fall.
This last graphic shows a nice calculated monthly return of 5.0% based upon the last 28 days performance. Even with the portfolio retreating this last week this graphic shows the calculation the portfolio should still be able to gain 5% on a monthly basis. This is still sufficient for the portfolio to hit a prop firm profit target within a two month period.
This weekend I filtered the EA pool and selected the top five EA’s, one for each symbol, and added them to my portfolio. I will report the results of this next weeks portfolio performance next weekend. I will continue to monitor this portfolio until the end of this year. Based upon its portfolio I will determine whether or not to use this portfolio to copy trade to a prop firm early next year.
