{quote} AJ - update High number of high lot entries now in progress on the QAM-1K-live trading account. Extreme short bias on this pair. PA is now showing a breakdown to the downside but lets see how this continues. Note 1: From an exposure point of view I would be looking to hedge the positions if the MT4 exposure chart reached 25% on the exposure pie chart. Note 2: This has not come close so no immediate action was warranted. Masterrmind.............

Current Balance: 268 725.56 USC

Current floating DD: just over 10%.

ps. Now I'm starting to eye the 300 000 USC level.

This is a beautiful sight to see. As much a work of art as anything else.

The blemish from the crash now adds unique character as a scar on a battle-proven warrior.

Yes indeed!

Just to emphasize the GBP damage once again here it is in the chart below.

Reducing exposure on the account

With the US elections not that far away and with several analysts predicting both high volatility possible thin liquidity and crazy spreads it will be my intention to reduce the number of open positions and pending orders on the trading account prior to Tuesday next week.

The plan will be to start minimizing current trades both today and certainly throughout Monday next week.

Current floating DD just over 4%.

ps. and yes there are slight variations between the TE daily% gain and the i-profit_tracker daily% gain ... due to the way each is calculated.

Do you think you were just lucky during the flash crash and what would happen if GBP keeps weakening instead of moving back the half way and save your trades?

What is the difference between gambling and QAM if you are not taking the loss even in the situation like that?

Thanks in advance

No I was unlucky!

I had stops in place on every trade so I took a 100 pip negative slippage on entry and a 100 pip negative slippage on exit on every GU trade.

The account took the loss (realized loss as shown in the balance chart in post 1870).

After trades are closed out I could care less what GU PA does at that stage since I'm out of the trades NOT in them.

Then I recovered the loss in very quick time plus some!

QAM is not gambling!
QAM is far more involved so please read all of the thread many times over and ask questions if you want to learn.

ps. "... save your trades" ... do you have any idea about what has occurred here!

Pay no attention to the foolish. The numbers speak for themselves and he made a fool of himself when he opened his mouth, so too late to save him.

Meaningless foolishness that adds no value and deserves no response. Let it be what it is.

Disturbances come from all angles.

I think my next account update will have to be when 10K is hit ... if it is!

I'll continue to build the QAM account in peace and quiet for the time being.

Good trading,

I pray for your account to hit 10k soonest so that we get to know of your refined QAM stragegy.

Just curious to know how would you have handled the 13 consecutive rises in USDJPY.

Is there anyway I can visualise the plot for the 13 days on M5 TF to see how scattered quantums behaved during the Asian sessions as an educational exercise by varying quantum values?

I am not familiar with backtesting part but will try if guided.

Is the depreciation of JPY connected with carry trades being unwound? What is your view about it?

Normally I look at NZD chart if I have to get some clues to carry trades being wound.

NZD is a favourte currency for OTC option structures. Looks like NZDJPY may hit 80 handle if JPY weakens further.

All being well I hope to hit that level sometime later in 2017.

Just plot a vertical line 13 days prior to the current day and apply different Quantum settings from say 10 through to 200 in increments of 10 on a 5 minute TF then zoom in and out and you'll be able to visualize it.
There are probably indicators around to do this but I'm not currently familiar with any although one could be coded easily enough.

Its old news now but yes you are right about the depreciation of JPY and indeed the kiwi is a very popular carry currency.
