High risk has an estimated profit of 6-10% monthly. I expect 0-3 losses each year. A loss takes 3-4 months to recover. Typically we can have up to 2 losses a year and still come out with 10-30% or more after a 12 month period. It's when we see 3 losses, we're looking at most likely a BE for the year.
I've decided to have my strategies accept losses rather than just let strategies blow accounts. The issue is... It can be a challenge for traders to look to the 12 month period rather than month to month. A 3-4 month recovery period can be difficult traders. As humans, we're impatient. Especially when we see other traders or strategies making a profit. It's the cereal bounce from system to system problem most retail traders have. We never see things through.
I stayed with my strategies for over 4 years now and they have done well. the -78% DD happened June 9th 2021. Since June 9th 2021, my account never saw more than -16% DD. You can use the myfxbook custom analysis tool to verify this.
