Risk Management Matters More Than Returns

Max Drawdown: 20.55%

The largest loss from peak equity. This happened. We disclose it prominently because we don't hide risk. Every algorithm experiences drawdowns — the question is how you manage through them.

Worst Month: -10.94%

February 2026 gave back $2.6M. This is the reality of algorithmic trading — not every month is green. Risk-adjusted returns over the full 18 months tell the complete story.

2 Red Months in 18

November 2025 (-5.07%) and February 2026 (-10.94%) were the only negative months. 16 of 18 months were profitable — an 88.9% monthly win rate.

  1. 01 Drawdowns are inevitable. Even a 13,203% ROI fund experiences -10.94% months. The algo is designed to recover — not avoid loss entirely.
  2. 02 Win rate doesn't predict profit. 51.09% win rate still produced $22M+ because winners were asymmetrically larger than losers. The edge is in position sizing, not accuracy.
  3. 03 Fees are real. $788,157 in trading fees over 18 months. These are deducted from gross returns. Net performance is what you see.
  4. 04 Transparency builds trust. Every trade tracked in EdgeWonk. All performance data is third-party verified — real-time logging, not quarterly reports.
  5. 05 Drawdown recovery was earned, not charged. The fund operated on a high-water mark model. No fees were charged during recovery periods. The team ate the losses alongside investors.
