Traders often believe the way to make money is to focus almost exclusively on a single approach — for example, specializing in technical or fundamental analysis, systematic trading, or scalping.

But to professional trader Ken Jakubzak, that idea seems short-sighted. Instead, Jakubzak, who has nearly three decades of market experience, has combined different approaches into a unique, successful strategy that defies standard labels. Jakubzak’s currency program, KMJ Capital, has gained more than 400 percent in the past 10 years, while posting smaller drawdowns than many of its peers.
