Please find below the net returns for October 2025.
The US government is shut down but does anyone care? The share market continues to find a way to grind its way up. Not sure how you can have a significant system like this come to a stop and the employees are not paid whilst it is closed for business, and the market does not see any issue with this.
During October we also had the US drop interest rates whilst inflation rose. One of the points of keeping interest rates up is to bring inflation down.
We had Trump make his usual threats regarding tariffs which the market now ignores to see if it comes true.
If go back to the start of the year when these news items dropped, there was large overactions in the market and we had to stop our strategies to wait it out. Now we leave them running as it provides some movement in the markets to allow us to secure some profitable trades.
In all a quite month for October but for our strategies it was good as we started to see the smooth wave options occur which is the area they focus in.
In addition, we rebuilt our MT5 strategies and identified improvements to help reduce the risk. Whilst they have the same names as our MT4 strategies and trade the same currency pairs, the MT4 and MT5 will on occasions operate different to each other. Neither the MT4 nor MT5 are better than the other – they just have some different methods of trading.
This month Black Mountain SR which started October 2022 broke 100% cumulative net return. We also had Kosciuszko HR break through 150%.
Finally, we now looking towards Christmas shut down period. Whilst the markets still trade, there is less liquidity which can result in holding positions for longer or larger movements. We will also look to turn off our strategies. Unsure of timing just yet.
