Equity loss control set max 5% for the account ... for a day ?

I think if I'll try one of my systems with max leverage, the profit will be around at least 30-40% per day, with DD less than 10% ... I like to establish a new record of account growing in a single month, till reaching 10 mil account equity and starting with as minimum as possible the initial account balance, automated trading of course ... or two, one trading a single currency pair, and another trading multiple currency pairs ...

Yes, but after the 5% DD reached and all trades closed, stop trading for the rest of the day ?

And if 5% DD is reached for 2 days in a row, stop trading for the rest of the week ?

In my view, one good setup can appear with a frequency of 2-3 times per day, starting TKY open and ending NY close, with no trades still open after NY close and before TKY open ...

{quote} 1516 is that missed number.. st may set up 1517. i set my tp above, at your 1519.. need London to close -1595.. a lower low will bring 1692 lower (to 1565 area).. maybe a bounce coming using 1519/16 coming, back to 1665.. bounce unkown, but it looks like a good place for my tp.. on a week chart does the Russian numbers change?
Russian numbers only for daily update...

in case of shorting, I may not stay too long since the H1 downtrend has run 61 hours at this hour.. over 50% chance for reversal for the hourly trend.... I would be careful .. watching H1 downtrend stop .. atm 1616.. if it can close above.. I will look for longs...if it can't close above, I stay for shorts...
