PUBLICATIONS & RESEARCH HISTORY

Earlier work documents the development path – it does not automatically define the current evidence state.

The following publications and project stages show how individual ideas in risk governance evolved over time. Historical statements remain in their original context and, where necessary, are narrowed by the current validation and documentation standard.

TRADERS’ 2019

Three-part APS series

The series provides a public record that APS mechanics were already described and discussed in 2019. It is also a historical source written from the perspective of its developer and therefore does not replace independent replication.

TRADERS’ 05/2019 cover featuring the APS cover story05/2019 · PART 1

Erfolgreich mit der Angriffsplan-Strategie

Neuartiges Risiko-Management für Trader

Introduction to tactical risk and money management: position sizing, equity protection and the question of how an active trading plan can be scaled in a controlled manner.

Current interpretation: historical starting point of the documented APS architecture. Broad performance language from the period is not carried forward as current evidence.

TRADERS’ 06/2019 cover featuring the APS cover story06/2019 · PART 2

Performance-Booster: Erfolgreich mit taktischem Risiko-Management

Die nächste Evolutionsstufe für Daytrader

Further treatment of warning states, risk reduction and tactical responses within an active plan.

Current interpretation: the mechanics remain part of the knowledge base; their incremental quantitative value is intended to be remeasured under identical Version 2 execution conditions.

TRADERS’ 07/2019 cover featuring the APS cover story07/2019 · PART 3

Optimales Trading-Einkommen: So geht’s!

Die Angriffsplan-Strategie in der Praxis

Illustration of practical workflows and staged capital and risk management in the operating context of the time.

Current interpretation: practical examples demonstrate mechanics and development, not the future performance of a current system.

SOURCE CHAIN

APS is documented across multiple development states.

Beyond the published articles, the source base contains historical workbooks, simulations, comparison analyses and presentations. Together they support a traceable development path from early risk-manager mechanics to multi-stage portfolio risk governance.

2013Risk manager

Early high-watermark, stop and permission logic.

2017/2018Simulations & attack plan

Stages, warnings, daily/weekly HWM and operational analysis are combined.

2019Publication & performance comparisons

Three-part professional article series and several documented comparison files.

2020Portfolio version

Expansion to a 16-instrument view and centralised risk governance.

2026Reorganisation & revalidation

APS becomes a distinct risk layer in the larger framework and is prepared for isolated retesting.

Publication principle: historical sources remain available. Current performance or evidence statements are governed solely by the data, rules and test states described today.
FUTURE RESEARCH NOTES

A small number of articles with real explanatory value.

This section is not intended to become a news blog. Useful future pieces are those that clarify concepts necessary to evaluate the framework.

Planned
  • Win rate, count ratio and profit factor: why they are different
  • Why intraday event order can change backtest results
  • What a random control group can and cannot establish
  • APS: scaling risk while retaining explicit de-escalation
  • Why documentation is part of a quantitative product
