Introduction
Risk management is the backbone of trading success. The Global Algorithmic Trading Software (GATS) implements a sophisticated framework centered on the Unit of Risk (UoR) to ensure consistent profitability across diverse market conditions. This guide delves into GATS’ innovative approach, focusing on how the UoR and associated risk parameters empower traders to achieve superior results.
Understanding the Unit of Risk (UoR)
- Definition: The UoR is based on 1x the Daily Average True Range (DATR) using a 369-period.
- Purpose: To standardize risk management across all trading strategies, enabling dynamic adjustments for market volatility.
- Key Calculation: UoR=1×DATR(369)
GATS Default Strategies and Risk Allocation
Each GATS strategy is tailored to its timeframe and risk profile. The trailing stops and maximum risk allocations are defined as follows:
| Strategy | Timeframe | Risk (% of Free Equity) | Trailing Stop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Momentum Scalper | M1 | 1% | 1 x DATR (369) |
| Global Quick Trend Trader | M5 | 2% | 2 x DATR (369) |
| Global Rapid Trend Catcher | M15 | 3% | 3 x DATR (369) |
| Global Intraday Swing Trader | M30 | 4% | 4 x DATR (369) |
| Global Hourly Trend Follower | M60 | 5% | 5 x DATR (369) |
| Global 4-Hour Swing Trader | M240 | 6% | 6 x DATR (369) |
| Global Daily Trend Rider | M1440 | 7% | 7 x DATR (369) |
| Global Weekly Position Trend Trader | M10080 | 8% | 8 x DATR (369) |
| Global Monthly Position Trend Trader | M43200 | 9% | 9 x DATR (369) |
Enhanced Risk Settings
1. Break Even Point (BEP)
- Purpose: Adjust stop-loss to the entry price once the trade achieves 36.9% of the initial risk.
- Benefits:
- Protects early profits.
- Prevents winning trades from turning into losses.
2. Fixed Trailing Stop (369 Points)
- Purpose: Introduces a fixed trailing stop of 369 points to secure profits during extended trends.
- Benefits:
- Maximizes gains in sharp rallies or declines.
- Ensures trade longevity in trending markets.
