1. How
does
the
technology
work?
The
Equitimax
technology
has
been
developed
to
manage,
control
and
place
the
trades
automatically,
across
the
different
portfolios,
from
the
multiple
trading
systems
Equitimax
have
developed
and
run
live
on
customer
and
their
own
accounts.
This
simple
diagram
below
displays
how
the
different
trading
systems
are
run
independently
and
then
filtered
through
the
asset
allocation
system
that
determines
the
size
or
risk
on
that
trade
based
on
the
total
exposure
across
all
systems
and
trades.
The
Equitimax
asset
allocation
system
or
model
then
distributes
or
‘allocates’
the
trades
onto
the
Red
and
Blue
portfolios.
The
allocation
is
made
based
on
the
maximum
risk
per
trade
for
that
portfolio
and
is
part
of
an
analysis
process
of
the
systems
recent
performance
versus
its
longer
term
performance,
current
and
perceived
risk
and
any
changes
in
the
risk
weighting,
the
current
market
exposure
and
the
spread
across
negatively
correlated
currency
pairs.
The
Equitimax
asset
allocation
system
manages
and
controls
the
targeted
return
on
the
portfolios,
based
on
the
system
output
and
the
current
performance
and
is
applied
differently
on
each
portfolio
based
on
the
risk
model
for
that
particular
portfolio.
This
is
an
allocation
algorithm
in
itself
and
is
totally
unique
to
Equitimax,
and
it
improves
the
overall
returns
across
the
three
portfolios.
The
Blue
portfolio
takes
the
similar
trades
with
a
small
portion
of
the
account
balance
at
risk
on
each
trade.
The
Red
portfolio
takes
similar
trades
with
a
slightly
larger
portion
of
the
account
balance
committed
as
the
maximum
risk
on
each
trade
and
this
means
that
a
winning
trade
on
the
Red
portfolio
will
create
more
profit
The
Gold
portfolio
is
modelled
to
grow
as
quickly
as
possible,
whilst
not
risking
more
than
the
20%
capital
protection
quota
Equitimax
have
set
on
each
of
the
portfolios.
The
Gold
portfolio
is
new
and
2. has
just
been
introduced
based
on
a
lot
of
analysis
and
computer
modelling
this
looks
like
something
that
will
grow
exceptionally
quickly
when
the
market
is
condusive.
The
individual
selection
process
from
the
trading
system
output
(the
chosen
trades),
including
when
each
trade
is
applied,
the
size
of
the
trade,
and
how
many
additional
trades
can
be
added
to
the
portfolio
are
all
complex
equations
that
promote
profit
whilst
limiting
exposure
for
the
portfolio.
Not
every
trade
makes
it
onto
the
trading
account,
as
the
technology
used
and
the
algorithms
applied
may
deem
that
the
three
or
four
trades
generated
by
a
system
is
too
many
on
the
portfolio
at
one
time,
so
adjustments
are
made
so
that
only
the
first
two
are
placed.
This
limits
the
exposure
to
any
one
trade
or
currency
pair
over
a
series
of
trades.
This
is
what
makes
the
Equitimax
managed
trading
service
so
unique
and
predictable.
3. The
ATM
Red
trades
mostly
the
same
trades
as
the
blue
although
the
risk
on
each
of
those
trades
is
greater.
By
taking
a
greater
risk
across
a
basket
of
trades
the
Red
portfolio
will
hold
a
larger
series
of
winning
trades
or
a
larger
series
or
losing
trades
during
the
course
of
its
trading.
As
its
risk
is
now
set
at
1%
per
trade
and
the
Blue
portfolio
is
set
around
0.7%
per
trade
the
difference
in
the
results
of
both
portfolios
becomes
apparent
over
time.
The
targeted
returns
for
the
ATM
Blue
portfolio
is
around
20
to
30%
per
year,
and
the
targeted
returns
on
the
ATM
Red
portfolio
is
around
30
to
50%.
Equitimax
believe
these
targets
are
achievable
and
at
times
when
the
trading
systems
are
performing
at
their
peak
the
results
may
be
much
better
over
short
periods.
Currently
after
six
months
of
2013
the
ATM
Blue
portfolio
is
in
profit
by
20.4%
and
the
ATM
Red
portfolio
is
in
profit
by
32.25%,
both
are
on
target
for
the
high
end
of
the
profit
projections.
The
trade
desk
pages
of
the
website
displays
every
trade
and
the
equity
curves
for
each
of
the
portfolios,
so
you
can
follow
the
different
performance
and
view
every
trade
and
these
pages
are
updated
at
the
end
of
every
month.
The
more
recent
trading
results
can
be
requested
during
the
month
to
fill
in
the
recent
past
between
posting
the
results
at
months
end.
The
live
trades
are
updated
dynamically
and
any
interim
report
will
contain
the
trades
from
the
first
of
the
current
calendar
month,
through
to
the
exact
time
the
trading
report
was
requested
from
Equitimax
and
even
includes
the
live
trades
that
are
still
open.
The
Equitimax
strategies
are
created
from
algorithms,
alarms
and
signals
and
we
are
always
trialling
and
testing
new
approaches
to
provide
a
transparent
and
automatic
trading
service
that
delivers.
This
delivers
a
100%
automated
process
from
the
customers
perspective
and
by
applying
the
trading
systems
directly
on
your
own
trading
account,
while
the
funds
stay
in
your
name,
in
a
AA
rated
UK
bank.
There
is
no
initial
establishment
fee
and
no
monthly
subscription
fees,
there
are
no
contracts
and
you
can
increase
or
decrease
your
funds
in
the
account
anytime.
The
way
that
Equitimax
get
paid
is
4. by
sharing
in
the
profit
we
have
created
on
your
account.
We
have
skin
in
the
game
too,
we
protect
the
capital
in
the
accounts
to
a
minimum
of
80%
of
the
capital
value,
so
you
can
sleep
at
night
and
every
downturn
has
quickly
been
recouped
by
our
trading
systems.
Equitimax
let
you
keep
67%
of
the
pure
profit
and
we
take
33%,
so
when
we
win
you
win
and
if
we
do
not
create
profit
we
do
not
get
paid.
We
use
a
performance
system
that
relates
to
the
high
watermark
on
your
account
too,
which
means
we
only
take
a
percentage
of
new
profits
made
on
your
account.
If
your
account
goes
backwards
this
month
then
you
pay
no
fees
next
month
until
we
have
caught
up
the
losses
and
made
new
profits.
You
are
only
paying
fees
on
actual
profit
on
your
account.
That
seems
very
fair.
This
method
also
encourages
us
to
be
careful
with
your
funds
while
trying
to
generate
the
best
returns
with
the
least
amount
of
risk
because
33%
of
the
future
profit
is
ours
so
we
are
going
to
make
sure
it
is
steady
and
consistent.
It
is
suggested
that
you
start
with
a
small
amount
of
funds
in
your
account
and
as
your
results
confirm
how
well
the
account
is
going,
you
can
then
increase
the
funds
in
the
account
which
provides
you
with
peace
of
mind.
We
have
recently
launched
a
2%
risk
model
called
the
GOLD
portfolio
which
although
it
has
only
been
running
for
one
month
is
already
up
over
40%.
The
gold
portfolio
is
a
measured
application
of
careful
risk
to
reward,
were
the
targeted
returns
are
now
set
to
over
100%
to
120%
per
year.
This
account
will
suffer
larger
drawdowns
than
the
Red
and
Blue
portfolios
but
as
the
systems
are
delivering
consistent
returns
across
both
the
other
portfolios,
now
Equitimax
feel
it
is
the
time
to
increase
the
volume
and
really
see
what
a
trading
system
can
do.
The
Gold
portfolio
is
set
up
for
people
who
only
want
exceptional
returns
on
their
trading
account.
