Personal Notes From Rob
The max drawn down I have seen in 60 days of trading this (with the
inventor) is -60 pips, before a profit was eventually reached, within
24 hours every time.The inventor stops at the mechanical end, and
I think that is a potential disaster.
The discretionary end:
=====================
1.If the total loss on the trade is more than 30 pips, I start to
look for ways to double up on one side of the trade and then get out
of it faster.This has included watching for a reversal move at
support or resistance, or a breakout at support or resistance.
More Rob Notes
2.The reason this side of the system exists is because this trade
could really go south in a hurry and leave me 100 pips in the hole --
probably not more than that over a day, since the pairs are somewhat
correlated.I don't want that.I arbitrarily picked 30 pips to help
keep myself out of trouble.The system has worked for 60 days without
the discretionary part, but I think it's good to have it as a backup
plan.
