An equity curve is a strategy's biography. Learning to read one takes minutes and protects you from most bad copy trading decisions.
Shape beats slope
A moderately rising curve with shallow, brief dips beats a steep curve with cliff-edge drawdowns. The first compounds; the second eventually gives it all back.
Vertical jumps suggest oversized bets that happened to win. That is lottery behaviour wearing a strategy's clothes.
Flat periods are honest
Every real strategy has flat and losing stretches when conditions do not suit it. Curves that only ever rise are usually martingale systems hiding open losses.
Ask how open positions are counted. Floating losses excluded from the curve are the oldest trick in performance marketing.
Match the curve to your stomach
Whatever the historical worst dip was, assume you will experience it early. If that number makes you flinch, choose a calmer strategy.
Quitting mid-drawdown locks in the loss and forfeits the recovery. Choose curves you can hold through.
Puntos clave
- Shallow dips beat steep slopes for compounding.
- Curves that never dip are hiding something.
- Pick a curve whose worst dip you can genuinely sit through.
- Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all invested capital. This article is educational and is not investment advice.
