Another wonderful trade . . .
If this trade doesn't win I think I'll stop until new high water mark. Then I can have trust in the trader again.
5-15pip TP with 50+ SL can be 10:1 r/r and that can take a long time to recover if ever.😞

shouldn't the drawdown be about 50% and not 25%?
Your account had almost 100% gain ( $8,000 profit ) and now its near 50% gain. Only shows a 25% loss in the month of July while you missed out on 4k profit banked profit 😳
Drawdown is based on the size of the entire account, not just the profits.

Guys,
The chart looked pretty, but this drawdown was inevitable. You cant have an average loss 2x your winner. You will ultimately lose money. It means that you need to have 2 winners for very loser just to break even.
You would be better off talking fewer winners and managing your losses. A robust trading system should have the average winner greater than he average loser. If the w/l ratio was in reverse and focused on having each winner 2x each loser, then you would have a sustainable profitable system. 30% drawdown is unsustainable and will happen again using the current methods.
A small change in the w/l % will cause you to lose money under the current system. Everyone looks for the Holy Grail. Well, here it is. Focus on the average winner being greater than the average loser. Thats the Holy Grail. If your average winner was 2x your average loser, you would only need to have 33% winning trades to break even.
Thats the real deal.
