yeah, it's pretty close to your max drawdown. I started looking at your worksheet last night. I'm meeting a buddy of mine tonight that's one of those crazy master programmers. MT4 has a DDE that I'm planning on using and he's working on making a macro for excel that will use a csv file to load everything. The tricky part is finding a way to use the DDE to make the csv file from MT4.

I'm no computer guy and it took me about 2 hrs last night to learn all that. So the basic jist of it is.....

It'll be a live sheet that changes according to price. Hopefully we can get it to pick up how many orders you have, profit/loss on those orders, how much drawdown (pips you can go down), and then i'll try to create a hypothetical of how many lots you can buy at current price and drawdown at that. Over time, I could probably do a hypothetical of "if i buy this many lots spaced so and so far apart, how far could i go down before it busts". Baby steps though.
