DislikedKos,
A few questions, if you don't mind. Was this your EA trading or manual trading? When you say VQ and nothing else, do you mean you take every red/green change on the VQ, no matter what or are you filtering (even mentally) the entries at all?

its the EA trading VQ only no filter either mental or physical, look at the comments in the big red box.
the day you master your fears is the day you become free in this game. my lot sizes are proportionally small and so my losses cos of my choice of TF and when the trend-run eventually comes, its big wiping out all small loses and leaving me something to take care of the bills.
This I have repeated many times but I will not be tired until it becomes our habit here, and am not going to start any thread or chat room, I joined here and here I remain, let no one PM me again to start such things, I dont have what it takes to support it, (time).
The best filter I know of is trading in the direction of higher TF. I spent months seriously looking for filters that would save me from bad trades but that same "filter" that spares me the bad trade would still spare me from being in the profitable runs, so I came to the realization that its a waste of time and effort. Get an indi that can show you what direction you have in the upper TF and join that direction earlier from the small TF.
If you must FILTER then overlay 2 VQ or HASmtf on the chart and take only the trades in the direction of the higher TF
I hope someone would take this my ranting seriously and just try to define what his/her fear is and take determined steps towards TAMING it, then the rest just falls into place
