My main point is to say it is always good to see how a system handles a drawdown. There is much strength in a system that has a "higher low" created in the pullback, rather than a breakdown past the previous lows. Seeing how one manages risk is important.
Adam noballs,
I want to talk about your results in your own thread. Either you un-Ignore/un-Ban me or I start a new thread on you (and ban you from right of reply). Your call.

Let's not dirty TPOTrader's thread with your rubbish. Defend yourself in your own thread.

On March 13th 2013 I said "We are strongly not encouraging new subscriptions at the moment until we break out of this ranging equity zone."

You have noticed the posts on our thread have ceased since then. We are not here to trick anyone. When times are good, we market our system, as it is a valid vehicle to make money. When there is a ranging period, we do not market.

In fact we have denied new trial offer requests and subscriptions since March 13th.

I have attached updated results.

mmaker,

I also posted your comment on our thread with my response, as I want to keep the thread even, rather than one sided.

This year TPO trader is 3% better than us, however we are both negative. Shouldn't this tell you something? It has been a difficult start to the trading year.

I will stay in observance mode on this thread. Sorry to post, I simply wanted to answer mmaker.

TPO, log onto fx trade. Go to tools, user preferences, locale. You may need to change the time zone setting in fx trade. Then it should automatically update in myfxbook.

Nope.

I went to fxtrade locale and adjusted it many timezones, waited until mfxbook syncs...but myfxbook still reads GMT+0.

Myfxbook responded to my query about this and said it's the broker's timezone and i cna't change it.

I didn't think that Oanda is GMT+0. From MT4, looks like it's GMT-5 (eastern time).

They are NY GMT-4 right now. I have no other ideas. In the long run does it make any real difference?

Down 12% is pretty far off from losing an account. Our problem is in getting out of this ranging zone. Once we do, pips will begin to pickup. For the time being we are trading through it while discouraging new subscriptions. We can do this, because we are not here to make money from subscriptions, but from our trading. And I am not about ready to sell something that doesn't work.

Grow some balls and move this discussion to your OWN thread, face your critics and defend your legitimacy in your OWN thread. Stop being a parasite on TPOTrader's personal thread. Let this be your last post on TPOTrader's thread or I will start a fresh new thread (and deny your right of reply) about MPC Scam and that will be the end of your service. Un-Ignore and un-ban Garrye as well.

TPOTrader is a honest and transparent signal provider and his potential clients will find this thread. Even simple courtesy and manners tell you not to dirty someone else's property with your own rubbish.

it's hard enough to time the market, let alone predicting the system performance. Bit denying subscription to your service is just bad business practice in my opinion. Think about it, you're going to let people subscribe once you're up? but then what happens, usually there's a correction and your subscribers is in the red. It's better to just let them decide when to subscribe i.e let the consumer decide is always the best move in business.

RIght now i'm seeing increased number of clients joining me towards the end of march, just one winning week is enough to convince some people that this is a good ride to be in. Maybe some will join later on..or not. Point is, sometimes joining during a drawdown is better than joining during when the system is making new equity highs.

Plus, you're in the BUSINESS of providing signals. Why would you care about your clients' losses? that's the risk they took when they signed up. We're not here to hand hold people. We're here to do our job as traders adn make money and control our risk as we see fit. Clients should use trade history and make their own decision about if the system is worth following and adjust their risk based on the platform settings as they see fit. Simple as that.

You're turning down potential subscription fees-which i don't understand why you would do that...

Good point TPO.

When our system breaks out of new equity highs, we normally have a large and long run.

From a business standpoint it doesn't make sense not to collect subscription fees. Ethically we know our system is not going anywhere until it breaks out of the range historically speaking.

Our drawdowns are minimal, as when our system goes through periods of "not working" we just trend flat up 10% down 10% etc.

I agree with this. In fact the time to be fishing for clients is when you are in draw down. Any rational person will see the benefit of getting into a program at an equity low as this has the benefit of insulating them from future draw down phases. Of course you have to be able to prove to the client that historically you have come out of draw downs and made new equity highs and your method has a history of manageable size draw downs that only last for a reasonably short period of time.
