Good morning friends,

The conditions for the 7am trade did not line up this morning. I will update the board later this afternoon for the 12:30pm GBP/USD long trade.

There a couple of things I’ve got coming up that I plan on posting within the next couple of weeks. We’ll be adding a new system to the 4 we’re already trading, and I will be posting a recap of the total P/L for each trade this year.

When using backtested data in trading, it is always important to know historical drawdown times. That way, if your trade is in drawdown you can determine whether or not the trade is still profitable, or whether the pattern has changed (i.e. if the average historical DD is 25 weeks and your trade has been in DD for 26 weeks, you are now outside of the average and it is time to evaluate the ongoing profitability of the trade). Generally, determinations on whether to continue trading a system based on DD statistics should be made between when a trade moves beyond the average, but has not yet reached the longest historical DD.

Good luck in today’s session! :slight_smile:

Sounds good. Will be looking forward to it. Thanks again.

10 pips is not a lot… how much do you risk on every trade?

Thanks for the post tedshiflet3,

I have mentioned this a few times throughout the course of this thread, but the risk depends on the trade while the risk based on lot size is determined by the current market movement. All trades are based on historical data which is used to maximize the effectiveness of trades on a daily basis. Each of these systems has several “moving parts,” but the key to minimizing risk with them all is having a pre-defined time of exit (this is always static regardless of market movement). Limiting your trades to a specific exit point that works independently of price action will allow you to avoid reaching your S/L, in the event of a trade gone awry, in the vast majority of situations.

Hopefully this helps! :slight_smile:
