to day I had the same spike issue. but this time I was ready due the EA would open hedge trade after -18 pip and I would handle it. But I had a coding mistake and EA opened 4 hedge trades with 6 pip FIX_TP and for all in a second TP trigerred and I again stayed with open loosing trade. Now I fixed the code problem but currently working on the open trades. 😲

when a trade hedged how I am going to handle it? here is the answer.
in the case of a spike if a trade hedged with FIX_TP*3 this means I need to trade 4-5 winners to clear that hedged loss. and in my case this is not a big issue due most of the time I finish my daily goal in 1 to 3 hours.😉

_somehow-1 demo expired so I started _somehow-2 with _somehow-1 equity.
yesterday I did not stop trading after 3 times achived daily goal to see what will happen. and had -%4.50 DD. I would like to see what would happen and also if I go DD I would like to see if I can manage to recover from that point. I have now better understanding what I am doing wrong. Time and succesful trading make trader change it s rules written or not. it is the most difficoult part for manual or semiautomated trading. I will train myself with different conditions before live.

_somehow:
conclusion after 3 weeks:
when I first started to trade semiauto I was more focusing on patterns. as I get better results I started to trade more frequently without waiting the patterns. I did quite well but this made me trade more risky. When I noticed that, starting from this morning I again focused on the patterns as I did at the begining.
SO basicly I refresh mind and focused on what I am doing wrong and fixed.
I am sure this is the one of the main problem manual traders faced with. At that point trader start to blame market conditions or other effects instead of finding the real reasons and creating new rules until he/she totally frustrated.
