Verified answers about ATS Origin Portfolio.
ATS Origin Portfolio: What is the ATS Origin Portfolio?
<p>It is a set of four Expert Advisors engineered in-house, each combining robust rule-based entries with a customized grid recovery. The four EAs are run together as a diversified portfolio across several forex pairs on a single account.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: What return does the portfolio aim for?
<p>It is traded at low risk, aiming for 4-5% a month across the whole portfolio. This is a target, and returns are never certain - they vary with market conditions, and grid trading can produce equity dips of around 30% along the way.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: What is the maximum drawdown?
<p>We accept a maximum equity dip of around 30% as an unavoidable part of grid trading. Thanks to diversification, the combined portfolio drawdown only marginally exceeds the largest single-strategy drawdown, because the strategies draw down at different times.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Why a portfolio instead of a single EA?
<p>Different strategies on different symbols draw down at different times, so combining them improves the return-to-drawdown ratio. The portfolio benefit lets you target an increased return on one account with only a minimal increase in risk.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Which pairs does it trade?
<p>Version 1 trades AUDCAD, AUDCHF, NZDUSD, EURUSD and GBPUSD. The pair selection is reviewed over time - a planned revision replaces NZDUSD with EURGBP to reduce currency overlap.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Why is it designed around a EUR 5,000 account?
<p>A EUR 5,000 portfolio, rather than EUR 1,000, gives the diversification across strategies and symbols enough room to work and keeps the grid recovery within the intended risk profile.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Does it use grid or martingale?
<p>Each EA uses a customized grid recovery configured in EA Studio, applied instead of closing a trade at the original stop loss. Grid trading carries real risk, which is why the portfolio is run at low risk and accepts equity dips of around 30%.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: How do you test robustness?
<p>Every EA goes through a unique in-house robustness process refined over many years of reviewing third-party EAs and working with strategy builders, then it is backtested individually and, where possible, combined with the others using AI to measure the portfolio's combined drawdown.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Do I need a VPS?
<p>Yes, a VPS is recommended so the EAs run continuously. Grid recovery needs the platform online to manage open positions, so a stable, always-on connection matters.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: Will the portfolio change over time?
<p>Yes. It is an evolving product. We review performance against expectations using many metrics and make updates or additions semi-infrequently as required - for example the planned NZDUSD to EURGBP revision. All updates are included for life on purchase.</p>
ATS Origin Portfolio: What do I get with lifetime access?
<p>All future updates to the portfolio and any new EAs added to it, at no extra cost, for as long as the product exists.</p>
