Product SummaryInvesting in FOREX managed accounts can be a rollercoaster ride.

The performance of any trading strategy might improve after account holders have left meaning the leavers lose money and the manager loses customers, a lose-lose outcome.

FXPerpetual is designed to change this to a win-win outcome.

Black Swan Events

A question that is often asked is how BSF might cope with what is known as a “Black Swan” event. This is where a combination of serious, adverse market conditions combine to cause extraordinary volatility / losses in FX markets. Most designers of DOJRULWKPLF�WUDGLQJ�VWUDWHJLHV�KDYH�JUHDW�GLƬFXOW\� LQ�UHSOLFDWLQJ�WKHVH�FLUFXPVWDQFHV� LQ�WKHLU�PRGHOOLQJ�DV�RI�FRXUVH�WKH�other protection features would probably have already cut in to reduce losses. However it has to be recognised that although very extreme Black Swan events are within the range of probabilities so in theory they could happen.The FXPerpetual website contains several tutorial videos covering many aspects as to FXPerpetual’s operation. These can be found under the “Knowledgebase” tab (www.fxperpetual.com) and one 10-minute video looks at how BSF might deal ZLWK�D�%ODFN�6ZDQ�HYHQW�DQG�ZRUNV�WKURXJK�D�VLPSOLVWLF�VFHQDULR�LQ�WHUPV�RI�KRZ�WKH�FDVK�ƫRZV�ZRXOG�ZRUN��

The scenario assumes the account has enjoyed months of target performance (3% net per month) followed by an entirely unexpected loss of 80% during one month.

In such an extreme instance the Managers have the right to note the previous high value of the account and to defer payment RI�WKH�FODLP�XQWLO�VXFK�WLPH�DV�WKHUH�LV�VXƬFLHQW�FDVK�LQ�WKH�%6)�XQGHUSLQ�DFFRXQW�LQ�RUGHU�WR�UHLQVWDWH�WKH�DFFRXQW�KROGHU�back to that previous high value.

In the simplistic scenario assumed in this video presentation it takes two years to recover the position. However it is very important that you watch and listen to the video in order to fully appreciate how the various assumptions made in this scenario are themselves unhelpful to how BSF might work in the real world.

If such a catastrophic event were to take place at least account holders in FXPerpetual would not simply have to leave and crystalise their losses. They can wait for their claim under BSF to recover their position.
