Why most wouldn't bother to look at this, again, the equity curve and that we've lost more than we've made...
This really actually lends itself to the Trade Cliche;
It's better to be out of a trade wishing you were in, than in a trade wishing you could get out.
Guppy played a little of both sides of this...
It was trading long, took a couple of pips to the long side...but while it was wishing to be long in profit, was actually short and wishing to not be in these here trades...
We've all been there...
Look at the impact of the Black Swan from the beginning of the year.
How many brokers lost their collective asses by not moderating positions or leaving leverage at a max on the Swissy prior to the uncoupling?
How many traders were in absolute fear of repercussions of their trades that extended beyond complete account annihilation?
So, what is to be learned from all of this?
For you...I don't know.
For me...I have an idea.
Each modification to a strategy requires some testing and this is not through the use of the Strategy Tester, much past the point of verification of triggering...so, I think I do have an idea...
Something that extends past 7.
Something that still predominantly relies on Market Dynamics.
Something that may limit the profit...
But something that may also limit the losses.
As there has been no live release of Guppy or WWGD and because I am just not ready to open the gates on this yet...
I am going to make a couple of modifications to both versions, open up a couple of fresh testing accounts and fire these bitches off for the new week.
Yeah, my intent was to have some live releases ready for the next week...get this whole license/charity thing going....
But at this point, wouldn't you be more comfortable knowing that I am working on improvements, rather than to justify some dogshit trades and a fair sized Stop Loss?
I know, I am.
