<\/span>This is where the second principle falls into place. <\/span><\/p>\n

Diversification.<\/strong>
<\/span>This is easily explained but in order to <\/span>implement correctly<\/span><\/a>, it requires long-term investing experience and knowledge.<\/span>
<\/span>Diversification is the weighted allocation in a wide variety of products and investment decisions where risk is spread across the board and no financial instrument can sincerely affect your MaxDD % on its own.<\/span>
<\/span>Proper diversification can and should lead also to dynamic hedging.<\/span>
<\/span>As dynamic hedging we define, the co-existence of two or more products that due to their correlation they hedge one another in open PnL.<\/span>
<\/span>This could smooth out a lot of your equity’s floating drawdown periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how can you set up a well-diversified portfolio with traders?<\/span>
<\/span>There are four major different ways in which a trader’s selection should happen.<\/span>
<\/span>You should choose strategies that:<\/span><\/p>\n

a. Have a different timeframe\/session trading execution. This by its own means that traders with different time zones will have different trades even if they trade the same financial instrument.
b. Trade a different product. This is self-explanatory. However, you should be careful as many products have strong correlations (Yen pairs, Aud\/Usd with Xau\/Usd, Usd\/Cad with USoil e.t.c)
c. Trade-in separated Markets. While correlations exist also there, the magnitude is much lower.
d. Utilize a different position sizing technique. Hard stop loss, martingale, the grid are some of many ways that a trader can manage his\/her position and all of them offer a variety of results.<\/p>\n

Bonus:<\/span> This is more advanced, but you can also try to track each system’s drawdown cyclicality. Selecting strategies that experience their MaxDDs in different time periods could make a huge difference to your overall drawdown (provided that this cyclicality is valid).<\/span><\/p>\n

That was all from the Diversification principle. In our last chapter, we will study the Rebalancing aspect of a portfolio and its most vital features.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
