At A Glance: Forex Managed Account Track Records

Not too long ago, a trader asked me to review his track record, but I only had 5-minutes to do the review.  Is it possible to examine a track record in five minutes?   The answer is: yes. It should just take a few minutes to analyze a well-documented Forex track record*.

Unfortunately, most track records are poorly organized and difficult to glean any information from regardless of how long the reviewer has to peruse the trade statistics.  Well-organized track records will tell the reviewer the following (not listed in the order of importance):

1. The Forex trader’s name,  location and the name of the program.
2. Regulatory jurisdiction.
3. Brokers name and location.
4. Amount of assets that are under management.
5. Peak to trough draw-down.
6. Length of the trading program.
7. Month by month returns and  AUM.
