Decided to close off some of the really poor trades in the monthly set file I had on live acc. went to -9500 pips, and to be frank I would rather look at alternative trading option to test right now to combat the losses....I think will only trade monthly once Xmess finished the bbsqueeze settings, and a few more filters otherwise opening up 100 trades when they are in the middle of a trend going backward doesn't make sense.
The timing will have to be right, and that is why I think having the basket actually drip feed trades into the live environment when filtrs show the time is right , woudl help. Not pure basket trading, but thnk of it as starting a basket and leaving the bad eggs in there till they come right. Right now virtual basket helps but it dumps every trade into live (unless you filter those with X pips), when potentially it could maybe feed them in to live when they start turning around.
Although we can see clear winners for months gone by (and FXP uses bbsqueeze from GVC which works), we would be better I think with a safer filtered monthly....anyway, hope to recover some of the losses, and leave the rest open for the month to try and recoup.
