Yeah, I thought that looked wrong. I guess the myfxbook Drawdown tab does not work the way I would like it to (which would be to show the maximum floating drawdown each day for all open trades - and per trade would be awesome - like segmented bars). As it stands, I'm not sure what they're showing. I think their equity graphs must be wrong as well.

   Hi FxPapa,

I think your results are impressive and I am considering joining. I have one question for you first: have you analyzed your floating drawdown for your 1-3 trade baskets? Before your -218 pips loss on May 16, your worst previous drawdown was -124 pips on Feb 7, which came back to profit. But the worst floating DD besides that has been -35 pips on Jan 9. Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm just going off myfxbook data here. Have you considered reducing the -220 collective SL to say -40 pips? If I'm correct, a -40 pip SL would have you at +140 pips compared to now. I think you open up to 3 trades 60 pips apart, right? Maybe those could be closer together and/or reduced to 2 (or just 1). Correct my thinking if I'm missing something here. Great system as is - just wondering if risk management can be improved given the trade history thus far. Thanks.

Yes, I missed last 2 trades too, both yesterday.

   FxPapa,

While my demo account picked up the EURUSD (+8.8 pips) today, my live account did not.

The EA display messages were correct on both when I checked ...

Do you have any recommendations?




Hi

This may happens sometimes. The reason is different between brokers' price and spread.

FxPapa and ragency,

In my view, Fxpapa server has a few problems. I'll explain why I think so. I have 2 EAs running in the same broker and same VPS, with different risks, both real accounts. Today 1 account traded twice. The other account trade once. The account that traded once had a trade (risk 25) with 3% profit. The other account (same trade, risk 10) made less than 0.5%. From time to time I see the EA active in one MT and not active in the other MT. So unless a better explanation is presented, the only one I see for this is the problem is in the FxPapa server.
