If you do, it would be interesting to reflect on them, such as what you would do differently compared to two years ago, which things didn't change, and whether you perhaps learned new steps along the way.
Not many good things to say about the Euro day and night system performance this past quarter. Only 2 trades in the day strategy for the month of September, which is a lot less than normal.
Not a very good quarter for the combined system, as shown by the purple line. Performance like this is why I advocate having many strategies to trade. Some will underperform (like this one), and hopefully some better performers will make up for it.
Going forward this will be the only graph I'll show. It tells almost the whole story, in my opinion...
Way back when, I had stated that I would be stopping when the single contract drawdown of $5000 was hit. It looks like that that will happen soon, since I am only a losing trade or 2 away from that mark.
So, barring some miracle, it looks like this system will be put back into incubation. I'll still track it, and if/when Euro volatility picks up, maybe the performance will pick up and I'll trade it again.
I see this lot. A trader in a trade will say that he is expecting the trade to go against him yet he stays with the trade.
I do it myself at times out of fear of being wrong. The what if I give up now and the market turns. It is why I’m a rules based trader but when you think about it the market is offering an opportunity that we as traders are not taking advantage of.
