That was a bit messy... but finally, TAC Version 1 has been released.

Version 0 wasn't too bad, but version 1 should be more profitable.

Default Setting:
SL 100 pips
TP 1000 pips

With an equity curve like the one you have, and the massive drawdown in %, I don't think any investor will give you a chance.

you got major problems

1. demo account
2. you got to 100% profit - but then you lost it all

your swings are just too big - no-one is investing in this.

That is the sad reality about swing trading. Their float losses end up being 5x larger them what their avg win is. That guy has blown several real accounts, and that happens because people focus on what he types instead of how he trades.

Hey Man, what's up? : )

Indeed, I already know that trading against the Crowd Strategy isn't good while market is ranging, consolidating.... Have a look at EURUSD, It is now ranging since months.... Only when the pair is very trendy and the herd goes against the trend so then it is interesting to go against them.
Also I have done many new set up parameters and you should be aware of the Version 2 released a couple of weeks ago... Let's see if it can produce more green pips... I do think so : )

Cheers

I wholeheartedly disagree with @goyankees85 ..

If done right..Swing trading has a lot of little losers, but then a few good trades that make up for the losers and some..

In my years of time in forex forums I came across a trader who locked in over 40k in pips. I have spent hours researching this and am currently on a path where I trade this way. I am still relatively new to trading this way and my system have not warranted a lock in of pips yet, but hopefully before the end of the year I will be able to do so.

Btw nice going @CrazyTrader ..

The hardest thing about swing is to keep opened winning position
