Diversified Portfolio 57 and Gold Flash 2025 Update

Our Diversified Portfolio 57 reached a fresh equity peak on Friday, October 3, 2025. Equity peaks are a natural checkpoint to reassess risk and sizing: they’re where discipline matters most.
Why update now?
Gold prices and general asset levels are materially higher than when Gold Flash was first built (2016–2017) and later tuned in 2020. To keep the strategy calibrated to today’s volatility, we’ve doubled both the stop-loss and the profit target. The aim isn’t to “swing for the fences,” but to maintain similar trade quality and expectancy in a higher-volatility regime.
Strategy guardrails (unchanged, risk-averse):
Daily risk cap: If closed-trade P&L for the day is ≤ –$1,200, Gold Flash stops trading for the day.
Monthly risk cap: If closed-trade P&L for the month is ≤ –$2,500, it pauses for the remainder of the month.
What you’ll see in the video
We show side-by-side results for Gold Flash using:
The prior 2020 parameters, and
The updated parameters (doubled stop-loss and target).
You’ll see how the equity curve shape, drawdowns, and trade distribution adapt under a higher-volatility setting.
Takeaway
At equity peaks, small, principled adjustments can preserve edge while respecting risk. The Gold Flash update is designed to keep the system aligned with today’s range and liquidity conditions—without changing its core logic.
