WHAT IS DT-UNIT?

A collaborative way of trading, where multiple traders, operate as one and trade on the same account. Each trader can then duplicate the trades of the master account to his personal account, benefiting from diversified and efficient portfolio of strategies across various time frames and markets.

DT UNIT vs PROP FIRMS

  • Manage outside capital.
    Being part of a DT Unit gives you the opportunity to manage outside capital as well. The commissions earned will be split among the whole unit but so are the responsibilities and psychological pressure.
  • Trade for Prop Firm.
    DT Units can in fact trade for Prop Firms if they choose to (after proper strategies selection).
  • Less stress, less screen time, more diversified.
    You take all the heat and responsibility when working for a prop firm. Here you work with a team, which is extremely beneficial and a much better option when compared to the alternative..
  • It depends on you.
    If you prefer to trade on your own, earn larger commissions and you are already successful, a prop firm is probably a better fit for you.
  • 100% performance oriented + more flexible.
    Prop firm rules and conditions usually don’t allow too much flexibility in terms of strategy selection by time.  They are mainly focused on shorter term trading which “closes the door” for swing and longer term strategies. DT Units are 100% focused on performance. Time is not an issue.
  • Higher risk is not always a bad thing.
    DT Unit traders can choose their own risk parameters (voted in the team). Smaller accounts can be voted for higher risk adjustment to become “capital growth” accounts.
  • It is like Algo trading but with humans.
    You make money when you are sick, on vacation, when you sleep, when your trading strategy is in a drawdown, when you are emotionally/mentally unavailable to trade, because the team is working.

DT-UNIT vs SOCIAL TRADING PLATFORMS

There are TWO BIG DIFFERENCES:

DIFFERENCE #1 – YOU WILL BECOME A BETTER TRADER

 

DT-Unit will make you a better trader. Whether you are just starting out and joining via DTA framework or you are already trading successfully your own strategy, DT-UNIT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER trader.

Why is that?

Because the very nature of the project forces you to grab only the best trading setups.

On  top of that, having your trading activities monitored by other traders in the team, works in your favor because you will become much more disciplined.

DIFFERENCE #2 – YOU GET BETTER DIVERSIFICATION

 

One can make the case that you can simply copy trades from multiple traders on any given social trading platform and achieve diversification, without even trading yourself.

This is a way to go. However if you do that, you will get ALL trades from the given trader. That means the drawdown/bad trades as well.

I’m not saying DT-Unit accounts are flawless and never lose a trade. What i’m saying is that, the core idea of DT-Unit is to force the traders to only take the best of the best setups. And this is where the BIG difference is. 

why dt-unit?

REASON #1

 

I was fortunate enough to develop not one but multiple, successful trading methods and strategies in my career so far. 

That’s fantastic but following and trading them all requires a lot of time and effort even though many things are semi-automated.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem putting in the work but when you try to deal with too many things simultaneously, you find yourself making mistakes and missing a lot of opportunities.  

REASON #2

 

In the past 3 years or so, I did a lot of work and research on algorithmic trading.

Three years of experience is not much but I noticed something very interesting. A thought that I had for years started crystallizing. It boils down to this: If you can somehow filter the signals of a strategy (any strategy/trading method) to the top 10-15% percent (trade only the highest quality setups),  you are likely going to get very few trades but of very high quality. 

Let’s assume that strategy XYZ generates around 100 signals per year. That’s 10 trades (top 10%) annually. The problem with this approach is that no one wants to trade 10 times per year. Why? I have a few answers for myself but this is not important now. Questions is how do we overcome this? Answer is: we add more strategies.

If there will be 5 strategies that produce 8-10 trades per year now we are talking about 50 trades of the highest quality. 

The other problem is that once you have 5 strategies that produce roughly 500 signals per year, you need to filter 90% of them. That’s 9 out of 10 signals are ignored. You probably see how this is prone to mistakes and missed opportunities. 

And I haven’t even mentioned the  number of markets and time frames that we need to follow in order to generate 100 signals annually. 

THE SOLUTION

 

DT-Unit!

If it can’t be fully automated, this is the closest to algo trading. Each trader, in each unit is focused on very specific tasks. Nothing more, nothing less. One trader being the best of the best for a particular strategy, applied on a particular market(s). 

MORE REASONS

 

The list of benefits is long. 

  • Your money is at work, even when you are not. As mentioned above, you will be generating profits, even when you are not trading yourself.
  • Stable and robust performance. Having multiple proven strategies applied to your account will greatly diversify the performance as well as lower the volatility. 
  • Professional development. This is not a social trading platform per say. This project aims at traders who want to move to the next level and further improve their trading skills while making decent returns. 
  • Stepping-Stone. DT-Unit could be a stepping-stone project for many traders that are struggling to become consistently successful. Once that happens, no one can take that knowledge away from you, even if you decide to leave DT-Unit.
  • Win-Win. Once of the most important aspect of the project is that there are no conflicts of interest. We all trade on the same account. If you lose, it shows up on my book as well. It is in everyone’s best interest to make money.  We do NOT profit from your failure in any form (collecting fees and what not).

ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO SELL ME YOUR COURSE?

Absolutely not.

There are 2 options to join the project. One of which is 100% free (using your own trading method).

DTA Framework is listed as an option for those who are just starting out or are still looking for a proven trading framework to work with.

The fact that Yordan and some of the other traders are using FX Delta, DTA Framework and other proprietary strategies in the very same account that you will be trading, speaks for itself.

FAQ

The concept of a DT-Unit is to achieve above market average returns. Our goal is to put together enough traders in various Units that diversify a global portfolio of strategies and markets that lowers the volatility of the returns.

  • We benefit from successful traders that produce decent returns.
  • We do NOT benefit from failed exams and fee collections.
  • We do NOT have conflict of interest with our traders.
  • We do NOT make money when they fail. We actually lose money.
  • Our incentive is to make you the best trader you could be, otherwise we ALL lose money.

Your success is our success and vice versa. 

– Yes, absolutely. The final goal of DT-Units is to produce returns, not sell you courses.

If you are joining DT-Unit using DTA Framework, you will go through the certification process at the end of the course. Once you complete the masterclass, there are 2 exams that will test your knowledge and understanding of the framework – theoretical and live trading.

DO NOT WORRY:

  • you can re-take the exams multiple time
  • it is 100% free to re-take the exams.

– There are a few steps you can take in order to improve your skills. That includes a one-on-one discussion with Yordan, analysis of your results, identification of specific weak points in your execution, analysis and implementation of DTA framework on live markets.

– No. You may take the test(s) as many times as you want and need. Our business model is not “fee collection”. We benefit the most, when you master the DTA framework and become a diversification link in our chain of traders. 

– No. All you have to do is show us your third party verified performance.

– There are no specific metrics that we require (profit factor/sharpe ratio etc). Each track record is assessed individually. As long as the track record shows profitability, we will look at it. We believe that trading and investing are not a black and white constants. For example, if a strategy was traded on a small account with very high risk, it will likely have large drawdowns. That doesn’t mean the risk management cannot be changed to fit the goals and requirements of a DT-Unit. So a filter like “drawdown not higher than X” is meaningless and could potentially eliminate real gems.

– In short, because you will be responsible for other trader’s capital. We have to make sure that you cover a certain minimum and posses certain skills.

Meta Trader 4 and Meta Trader 5. 

There are many, many benefits of becoming a DT-Unit trader. Here are just a few reasons:

  • You can join immediately, without any upfront fees/costs (using your own trading methods/strategies).
  • You get the experience and actual trades of veteran traders copied to your account.
  • We don’t force DTA Framework on anyone. As long as you are successful, you are welcome to join.
  • Become part of a community of REAL traders, with REAL results.
  • The trades that go to your account, go to our account as well. No tricks, no excuses. If you lose money, we lose money. When you make money, we make money.
  • Trading as part of a team is is much more efficient than trading alone. 
  • A business model that has no conflict of interest with you like some prop firms.

Absolutely not. This is why there is an option for everyone to join using their own trading method 100% free.


However for those still looking for a proven trading framework, DTA might be an option.


On top of that, Yordan is trading based on DTA Framework, the same account that you are going to be trading. If it didn’t work, would he do that?

That depends entirely on you.

  • How many hours a day/week/month can you spare?
  • Are you a fast learner or you prefer going slower to master every single piece of information before you continue with the next subject?
  • Do you have any prior experience in trading?



All these factors will influence the time it will take you to complete the course.
