Mom's #2 broke account with my new funds

Sep 28, 2012 at 17:14
Well, shit happens! Lost 99% of this account. And it was doing so nice! So to recap: started with 7K, withdrew 7K to start another account...they both got up to 16K and and 15K respectively and then I lost 16K here. Total to date: 15K...so, that's 100% profit...just a lot of time wasted.To those who wonder why: I was trying a new setting with a new set file for EURAUD...and it had done great on backtests...so much for backtests though...

Not a problem, and I do understand what you meant and yes, levels do pose a problem with margin and drawdown, hence limiting the lots and trading cautiously pays off. No you did not offend me, although some people here like to come and bash systems with the idea of promoting their own strategies, so I tend to overreact to -even- constructive criticism.But yeah, I'm interested to see how your project develops in the long run!Good luckGerald

Looks like your risk appetite is 2 months worth of history data on your 20% a month EA shown with a 500% leverage but offered in a PAMM with 200% leverage, not the same results I would suspect...but we all trust our own systems don't we?Good thing is, I'm openly showing how I've taken my mom's initial $7K to $15,971 in 7 months...and I don't gamble with mom's money!AND I find the name martingale offensive, as this is a pretty good scalper for anyone looking at around 80% winning average. It just uses levels as a safety net WHEN things don't go right.

Good point, a backtest should be done with attainable and average spreads, not with the best case scenario which would be unrealistic. Also, the modeling quality is 90%, I would like to see tick testing at 99%.

Sometimes it's better to cut your losses than to drag yourself down: I just decided to cut my EURUSD basket at a loss of about $460...about 3 days worth of profits...but better than a whole month!My take profit was too far up and I risked more losses on the downside, so I'm happy with my decision although not happy with the loss.GBPUSD still has a large basket, but I expect the correlation of the cable to break down from the Euro at some point as it becomes a safe haven currency.

This account is set to recoup every cent lost. That will happen when EURCHF hits 1.25539. Until then, don't be shocked by the red line going down :P

BLUF: To all those who were following the initial PAMM, I have deleted old posts because I do not want somebody else's free advertisement on my system, be advised that I will delete any idiot who comes here to post his own system. To anyone thinking that the missing old history is a way to be less than transparent, then it all depends on how well you know what transpired. So to be transparent, here it goes to anyone new:This PAMM was just about to get started with funding from 3 investors plus myself, and funding was not entering the account. FinFX failed to tell me that in order for th...

This is a PAMM account. PAMM stands for Percentage Allocation Management Module and is a technical function that allows a group of individual accounts to be managed under one master account. The purposes of using the PAMM model is for efficiency of time, to allow for more effective money management and so that all managed accounts are treated fairly and equally. Profits and losses from each trade are automatically allocated based on a percentage basis so that all managed accounts will receive the same percentage returns.Commission for this PAMM account is 15% of monthly gains, which is much le...

I have added another $5K of my own to be able to add new positions so that this thing can recover upon retracing, although looks as though EURCHF is going sideways :\

Ohh you noticed that! Yes, apparently they did, even though they replied by saying that it was not the leverage...and at this point, it still would have been a margin call. I'm done agonizing over this, it is not the first time I take a hit and unfortunately it won't be the last. But I always manage to recover :) In the long run, the winnings more than offset the loses.

As I said, I had set the account prematurely to accommodate money that was about to be transferred from clients...like you kish. If that money would have come in, the account would have reached a DD of 88% instead of 50%. Look at my other accounts. This account was supposed to mirror the other low risk account I have which is doing pretty well with he same setup. Also, FinFX had locked my leverage at 1:100 instead of 200, that caused the margin call...they kept denying that it was at 1:100 until finally they asked me restart MT4, by then it was already too late.In any case, it is what it i...

OK, point well taken. This is where I went wrong: I had -prematurely- set up the account for $9000 since I'm waiting for two investor's funds to hit the account, so call it gambling but right now it's just my money. And also, I do count on the SNB to abide by the 1.20 floor. Do I gamble with their word? perhaps. Look, hindsight is 20/20. If you have a crystal ball and know how to better predict where the market is going then you will most certainly do better than me at money management...could you then show your own account Mr. Mystery man?And as for the spread for AUDNZD...it...

Not three months, if you would have read post #1 you would know that this account is a continuation of this:http://www.myfxbook.com/members/gerald325i/xferred-momslow-risk/125358Which made 19.59% from June to August...so 5 months, not 3...By no means a seasoned account, but I wanted to set the record straight :)
