About this strategy

Maximum 200 pips drawdown per month
_________________________________________
Adapt or die!!! We have to constantly evolve and adapt to the ever changing market. It seems that we cant keep our system constant.
______________________________________
After 4 months of development and 4 months of live testing, it seems that we have to make some changes to the system. In the last two weeks the system experienced 9 consecutive losses for a total 260pips draw down. This is not acceptable as the system was designed with 200 pips draw down.

Several things I have noticed: 1) the system tends to over trade when it was supposed to be 2-3 trades per week 2) it takes almost 3 months to build up to a capital of $165K and only 2 weeks to bring us back to $112K 3) trades starting out as winners but became loser due min 100pips limit 4) system trades with high leverage due to few trades per week.

We will be making the following changes to the system 1) max 2 trades per week 2) moving stoploss to break even when trade is 50pips in profit 3) include fibo lines and trend analysis on daily chart.

The system will continue to have 25-30pips stop loss with 100pips limit; however, stoploss will move to break even when trade is 50pips in profit.

______________________________________________________
All trades are limited to 20-30 pips stoploss with min 100 pips limit while targeting 400pips per month. We are only targeting 2 to 3 good trades per week; hence, it may seems like no work is being done at all.

Remember to bet 5% of your total account each time and calculating the total loss from the 20-30pips stoploss. For instance, %5 capital of $1000 is $50. With 25pips stoploss, you should only be betting 2 lots ($1 per pip). Good money management is the key.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
