{quote} Just a few examples because in my opinion myfxbook autotrade should dump TPOTRADER's ass for his high drawdown rate of 38% nobody wants to bet near 50 percent of their account who is trading over 100k. This clown is on here exclaiming he is going to hit a new equity high after he almost took his client base off an equity cliff. The people I follow have systems where they make more than double their risk consistently. http://www.myfxbook.com/members/TR_SWAP/signalfx/533106 http://www.myfxbook.com/members/hess...salpari/453211...
Great, now i have to deal with this clown.

I have to admire MPC, he would probably respond to something like this kindly.

But joeldav....GO FUCK YOURSELF

i'm here to make money.

I don't give a shit about your opinion how an equity curve should look like, or what an acceptable drawdown is. Fact is, I walk the talk and will continue to do so.

Were you long Euro? I see a big drop in equity and a closed fxbook link. I am pulling for you, prove them wrong.

I still have long bias. This move down is very characteristic of stop runs rather than a down trend, and i was caught with it. But since there's no follow through on the down move, i'm preparing for a move to 3100 tomorrow.

Nothing will empty an account more quickly than a bias. Just sayin.

what are you talking about? Having a bias determines your outlook in the first place. Every trader needs a bias, but it can change.

I don't mean any disrespect but you had a bias today and it cost you fifteen percent. I am absolutely confident when I say that your bias can kill you. Especially when you are trading too big.

So i lost a few trades today. Sometimes the timing isn't right. That's part of trading. You can't win every trade.

And my trading size is per my plan. What you consider too big, is what i would call 'just right".

In one fuckin day this clown TPOtrader draws down bigger than systems on my watchlist do in their whole history. Pathetic.... The skillful part of trading which he lacks is keeping the pips made

Keep in mind if you lose 40% you need to make 80% just to get back to breakeven. 50% DD you would need to make 100%.
you sound like you know what you're talking about.

I'll disagree but I am not trading your money, you are so to each his own. I can't fathom losing five percent on one trade but that's just my risk tolerance.

15% heat in a day would melt my balls ....I feel like I'm dying when I get hit by 6% drawdown in a day.

Six percent would be a really terrible week for me. I usually risk less than one percent per trade. I have a largish account though.

good for you ...I have a small account and my simulation has shown 3% risk is the maximum I can risk without coming to ruin.

2xx,xxx.

I will be linking another account as soon as I get funded. I want to use the auto trading application from MT4I to trade from that account to my main account. I will never put the main account on the net I don't care how good the encryption or even that it is only an investor password. I am paranoid. The account I link up will be one thousand or so.

MB is beginning to piss me off. They said I would be clear to fund by now but I haven't heard anything from them. I wish I had the account size to go with ILQ but I don't yet. I am thinking CITI pro but I am not sure. MB better get off the stick and get me cleared.
