Hey Ryan,
So i've been testing 500 pip stoploss vs the 6%, man does it take away from the benefits, but on the other hand it saves the account tremendously.
I can be wrong though just backtested 2.5 yrs on the gbpcad & audcad =/
Feel free to critic guys!

You're not. I've actually been doing some research on the same thing the past 48 hours.

I think my new video coming out in a few minutes should help...

Thanks for the update. I have looked into the 6% cutoff and from what I am seeing, you would have to trade 0.02Lots / 10,000 to be able to open 20+ trades in the grid. Big change of strategy?

{quote} GBP/CAD took profit at 20 pips, I achanged from 50. My EURGBP still open and 5 % drawdown {image} {image}
It took weeks, because of my back testing this many open trades happen rarely, and that helped me with my nerves (psychology). I now have a close all that should help me prevent this again. And I will use it more as a risk control with other trades and manually exit by discretion.

a silly idea perhaps....
but
what if you size your entries that the 500 pips cutoff ( for XX number of entries) vs the 6% cutoff is about the same size?

less home runs, less big losses, a smooth(er) equity curve?
there was previously some suggestions about ways to filter out early first entry points.
if you find your preferred way to do that, it is unlikely to hit the cut off point often...and anyway that should be the priority of your trading, not to hit the STOP LOSS.


PS.
Where is Ryan?
there is always, always another trade!!

Yes
i did tailor them to descend on size.
i even changed RMI settings to get "better" entries.

Yes! I’m back on track. I needed a bit of a break. It’s been nice. I plan for an update Monday.

I made a decision to trade this past NFP. It didn’t go well. Learned a lot from the experience though. I was able to recover the losses this week.


this and more will be talked about in the Monday update!

New update.

 

  1. $813 (4.17%) personal profit this week!
  2. $2027 (10.39%) personal profit this month!
  3. Why was Robert's myfxbook account set to private for a few hours? Is his account ok?


I would say overall a good month on my personal account. Roberts account is still in recovery and will be for a while.
