Disliked{quote} So, what happens if your system loses 100 trades in a row and you look at the p&l and think, is this set of EAs going to work? You never actually solved the issue, all you did was delay it only, try executing that on a larger account above your comfort level and you will still experience the same fear. To be honest i think all you are doing is trying to trick your mind such that you do not personally handle the risk, by covering your eyes from it.

The human brain is a poor judge of risk. If bitten once , it is shy twice to take on trades, it is loss aversion.100 losses is not a problem , I have allowed for 1200 in a row.
I would invest £500 k , if I had it, because I believe in it.I have devised EAS with 50 % hit rate , providing 2,000 pips a month or about 75 % a year .These work fine in forward tests, so I have no reason to not trust them, because these have very high probability trades.
I even have loss recovery modules, plus the eas trade with a 65/35 edge skewed in favour of EAS. I have been forwards testing them for 4 months and they are now getting touches of final varnish.
My eas are very advanced , they shut at the slightest smell of smoke.
