Here was ane from June 28th--

Hi Joel. Thanks for posting this blog, real informative.

I was wondering, if yous were to teach stopped out of all your First Strike too ONS trades (assuming yous had all v currencies inwards merchandise on the same day) what would your gauge drawdown be?

From reading your weblog I believe yous a using most 1% adventure per trade, thus is it roughly 10% loss inwards a calendar week if yous had all trades opened upward too hitting the halt loss?

Thanks, give-up the ghost on upward the nifty work.

Thanks for the skillful question.  The scenario yous inquire most is possible, but extremely unlikely, due to the marketplace dynamics which campaign the ii systems to live on triggered.

The full drawdown for the calendar week could real probable transcend 10% (possibly even 12 - 13%) if nosotros got 5 failed FirstStrike trades too 5 failed OneNightStand trades.  

That eventuality would live on real rare, every bit the likelihood of getting 5 OneNightStand trades inwards whatever ane calendar week would live on amazing inwards itself.  And if they got executed, it would live on extremely unlikely that all of the FirstStrike trades would have been losers too.

The of import affair for yous every bit a trader is--- live on aware of the possibility of such an event, too if that possibility would stand upward for an unbearable risk, it is a strong indication that yous are trading likewise much size for your situation.

This forenoon later midnight CST, I exited Friday's iii OneNightStand trades.
OneNightStand 06/27/08 entries---
  • Eur/Usd: Long @ 1.5769, exited this forenoon at 1.5787 for a 21 pip gain.
  • Gbp/Usd: Long @ 1.9896, exited this forenoon at 1.9934 for a 38 pip gain.
  • Usd/Chf: Short @ 1.0222, exited this forenoon at 1.0171 for a 51 pip gain.
Total profits- 110 pips ($8.25)

It was dainty that the trades resulted inwards profits, fifty-fifty though they were non substantial.

Shortly later exiting the above ONS trades, nosotros got entered ii brusque FirstStrike entries, the Gbp/Jpy too Usd/Jpy. Both trades moved into net turn a profit quickly, but every bit the early on forenoon wore on, the profits evaporated too and then the trades got stopped out.

The residuum of the twenty-four hr menstruum wore on, finally resulting inwards the in conclusion iii pairs getting executed. With the word releases scheduled this calendar week too the coming vacation (July 4th), it volition live on interesting to run across the potential developments. The residuum of the globe doesn't convey a vacation on the fourth every bit the U.S. of A. does, but coin doesn't sleep.

If nosotros withal convey trades inwards progress slowly inwards the week, nosotros volition move out on Friday, July fourth every bit usual.

The next are this week's FirstStrike entries:
  • Eur/Usd: brusque @ 1.5737, halt 1.5797. Trade inwards progress.
  • Gbp/Jpy: brusque @ 210.59, stopped out at 211.49 for a ninety pip loss.
  • Gbp/Usd: brusque @ 1.9884, halt 1.9944. Trade inwards progress.
  • Usd/Chf: long @ 1.0223, halt 1.0163. Trade inwards progress.
  • Usd/Jpy: brusque @ 105.53, stopped out at 106.13 for a threescore pip loss.
Note: Any FirstStrike merchandise non stopped out earlier Fri gets exited on Fri merely earlier 15:00 CST.

Current equity is $752.13.
