PIP lover, I too experience larger drawdowns as well with my long term trading, but I also use a progressively increasing lot strategy to the initial trade which covers any losses if price does not retrace back to my original trade when my strategy says to exit. I also only take trades that incur positive swap daily to help lighten those losses on trades that can take several months or more to close. So please don't let one person get under your skin and continue to trade the way you always have. Everyone has their own opinion and there's nothing you can do to change their minds.
