Not entirely. SATORI combines DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) with several other trading methods designed to identify market trends, recognize market behavior, and adapt to different trading conditions.
However, DCA remains one of the core components of the SATORI trading strategy.
Master:
That is absolutely true. DCA carries inherent risks, and I have never denied that.
However, I have spent considerable time developing risk management mechanisms to minimize the possibility of account failure.
For example, I conduct extensive backtesting using historical tick-by-tick data. During these tests, I deliberately apply unusually high spreads, typically around 50–60 points, to simulate unfavorable trading conditions.
My objective is to evaluate how the system performs during some of the most challenging market periods, rather than simply optimizing it for maximum profitability.
Although successful backtesting cannot guarantee safety in live trading, it provides valuable insights into the system's resilience.
Additionally, SATORI incorporates mechanisms that use realized profits to gradually offset existing floating losses.
When necessary, I am also prepared to accept controlled losses rather than expose the entire system to excessive risk.
My priority is not to avoid every losing trade. It is to protect the overall trading system and ensure its long-term survival.
Master:
This is probably the most important strategic change I have made to SATORI.
In trading, pursuing higher returns usually requires accepting greater risks.
During the early stages, SATORI was capable of generating exceptionally high monthly returns. However, I gradually realized that maximizing short-term profits was not the right approach for building a sustainable trading system.
Therefore, I deliberately reduced the system's profit targets and continuously improved its trading strategy, particularly its risk management and drawdown control mechanisms.
As a result, SATORI has been operating with significantly lower drawdowns while still targeting monthly returns of approximately 5–10%.
Of course, these returns are objectives, not guaranteed outcomes.
I would rather build a system that survives for many years than one that generates spectacular profits for a few months and eventually collapses.
For me, long-term sustainability is far more important than short-term performance.
Master:
I believe one of the biggest challenges in manual trading is controlling human emotions.
Fear, greed, hesitation, and overconfidence can easily interfere with trading decisions.
Instead of placing trades manually, I prefer to translate my trading ideas and market observations into systematic rules and integrate them into SATORI's Expert Advisor (EA).
This allows the EA to execute trading decisions in a disciplined and consistent manner, similar to how an experienced trader would operate, but without emotional interference.
I can also enable or disable specific trading functions depending on market conditions.
In other words, SATORI is not simply a fixed DCA algorithm. It is an evolving trading system that combines automation, market analysis, and strategic oversight.
My goal is to combine the flexibility of human trading experience with the discipline and consistency of automated execution.
Master:
No, a Cent account is not required. You can use a trading account denominated in USD, EUR, HKD, or other supported currencies.
However, there is one important requirement: I strongly recommend using an ECN trading account.
Master:
Yes, you can still copy SATORI using an STP (Standard) account. However, I strongly recommend using an ECN account because I want my copiers to achieve better trading results.
ECN accounts typically offer tighter spreads, which can significantly reduce trading costs and improve your overall profitability, even after accounting for commissions.
In some cases, the difference can be substantial. For example, if you earn $10 using a Standard account, you might earn as much as $15 using an ECN account under comparable trading conditions. That represents a potential 50% increase in net profit.
Of course, the actual difference depends on trading conditions, spreads, commissions, and execution quality.
My recommendation is simple: Use an ECN account to copy SATORI whenever possible. Even small improvements in trading costs can make a meaningful difference to your long-term returns.
SATORI is not designed to win every trade or maximize profits at any cost.
It is designed to manage risk, adapt to changing market conditions, and pursue sustainable profitability over the long term.
Survival comes first. Profit comes second.
