They say "whatever blows your bubble" 😁 As Alfonso from Onanda put it, Bruce always had a polarising effect on the community. Some like him, some don't. I don't know, he just doesn't raise my pulse. Bruce is like that smelly yeast spread, Marmite. Some love it, some hate it. I'm neutral. I can eat it if I have to, once a year I even hanker for its distinct, salty taste.
I think the Myfxbook twatter updater might be messed up ... or there's some spooky stuff going on ...
Only 1 trade closed, for -1.7 pips, but total is +436.9 for today ...

I get quiet when it's a public holiday in US and UK and I get like a tick an hour.
-30% is to much. I changed some settings to prevent a repeat, but this will take a while to sort itself.
Speki,
The volume can get very high, it will ruin a twitter stream for a user.

Again I have to point out. The DD must be seen in context to the performance. This system at the current pace will do over 1000% a year. So it will draw down. No avoiding it.
My parents are with one of the top funds in the world, Alan Gray, does about 17% per annum. If you gave them 10 000 coconuts in 1971 you'd have 170 000 000 coconuts today. They drew down 50% in this last crisis.
Easiest way to solve the DD problem is turn down the system. Smaller trade sizes, less pairs etc...
Zero, your expectations of systems are a bit high. It's almost impossible to trade an amount this small with any degree of safety. If I was gunning for 17% per annum, which I can't do, the DD here be so small it wouldn't even be noticeable.
Remember the second wealthiest person in the world only does about 30% per annum.
This is what makes Oanda such an attractive proposition. Can get the trade sizes right on almost any amount. With this test here I'm rolling dice and hoping it works out long enough so I can get the money right. Especially as it is no longer discretionary.
We'll see what the new settings does in due course.

50%? Christ On His Throne. I don't see this DD in the curve on their site 😄
I thought trading was a piece of piss for the big boys. Buy, sell, move the market, trip stops ...
Now we learn they had 50 % DD.

Well,
It was kind of a 20 year event to have your financial system freeze.
Companies like Implats lost 80% of their value. And they are fundamentally the same they were 2 years ago. Not like platinum demand dropped that much or that the price dropped, was only the perception of value that dropped.
But consider that was un-leveraged. Had that portfolio had any leverage on it everything would have gone bust. It's recovered now, but the benchmark is 17% per annum vs 50% DD.
If I can do 1000% with 30% DD I'll be ecstatic.

I said they are invested with a major fund. Like everyone else's parents. It's what that generation did.

Sorry folks,
Going to take the system private. Don't really need this in my life. if I had an option to lock the thread and keep the system going I'd leave it public, but for now I'd just rather remove it so no further comments are allowed.

Dang, that didn't work. So I guess I'll just leave it for now. Probably just best to close the account.

1.) 1 cent per pip - nano account? I didn't know IBFX offered 0.001 lots.
- on Feb 24th, 244 pips Long on EURUSD were gained - Daily range from High to Low was 120 pips = 2 positions would have been opened at the lowest point and closed at the highest point to earn the 244 pips. I'd say more than 2 positions were open to achieve that gain.
For example:
Account balance about $102 with 0.002+ lot Long on EURUSD ++ a GBPUSD short for hedge
Lets add 10x multiplier, $1002 with 0.02 Lot on EURUSD == Not much margin used.

when i post several posts...
and then the moderators remove a whole bunch of em, leaving only those that they think are constructiiive, perhaps.
now, lets look at something...
when i am receiving input from external sources, do i do something similar to this?
do i, as ii am listening to others, or as i am reading, for example, do i throw out some of what i take in as input and retain other pieces of information?
and what is it that causes me to decide to keep one piece of informatiion, or a thought, but toss out another?
so, does the brain have a moderation process that is built into iit?
peace out, whackos..

Good eye for details, another possible explanation: if you put a custom date filter 24/02 - 25/02, and look at the duration and summary tabs, it shows there was 1 EU and 1 GU trade, they been matured in an oak barrel for 10 days.

Quite philosophical.
Make people feel good and they will shine their happiness back on you. Make them feel bad and they will ignore and avoid contact. They say the world is run off personal relationships. And it is so true. If you have friends in good places, things can be much simpler in life.
