I have been asleep for the last 6 hours. I have had the ea running for that time. Unbelievably, the 100/40 ea even handled tonight. My max floating draw down had been 11.49% up until now. That has now been increased to 24.8%. Still safe, but to high for my liking. All 8 currencies except the eur/chf retraced. I had a real nasty open death trade on that currency pair. I closed all trades for the week and only lost about $30 from my previous statement. I am really getting mad at the market. Does anyone know why this is happening??? I know here in the USA we have a sub prime mortgage problem but what about Europe, Asia and Australia? I recently funded my IBFX account with $2,000 but I am not going to start trading in these dangerous conditions. I am just going to keep the demo going until (if ever) it gets back to normal. Here is the current graph with all trades closed for the week...
