DislikedRight on!
I am still a newbie trader, in month 6 of live trading. When I look at the equity curve on my spot account, it makes me sick. Nice rising 3-8 week stretches punctuated by large drawdowns. Worst drawdown was 61% of my account. That was $9k and I still want to cry about it. Had a couple at 20-30% and had a couple more at ~10%. Then I have had stretches where I have doubled, tripled the account value. I am up 40% in the last 3 weeks, for instance. Overall, though, I am still about 50% in the hole.
I would love to have a smooth equity...Ignored
