Sometime in mid-October, I have decided to remove USDJPY and EURUSD trades from the live account, but keep trading it in the Holy Grail [Demo] account. This is due to experiencing immensely large slippages (200-400 points) that have occurred too many times in the real account, but not in the demo account. In future, the AUDUSD trades might be removed if it continues to suffer frequently large slippages (also around 400 points). GBPUSD still have large slippages, but these are limited to 100-200 points which is bearable. This only pertains to IC Markets. You can forget about FP Markets, as the spreads and slippages are almost guaranteed to ensure the account will go bust.

Started the month of November badly with the AUDUSD trade exceeding my max 1% risk due to a 114 point slippage. Resulted in over 2% loss. The AUDUSD trades have resulted in way too many large slippages, so I have discontinued trading AUDUSD. So, EURUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD have all been eliminated from my live trades.
The only pair left I have no choice to trade is GBPUSD, because my strategy works best with this pair and the significantly large slippages of 100-200 points is bearable when the profits reached can be 20-30x.

Since April, the strategy has been consistently unprofitable and if it doesn't turn positive by end of June, that will be three months of losses. Backtesting historical data and comparing with the actual trades show that the losses are due to very large slippages (quite a few 100+ point slippages).
I have about 2 weeks left to try and turn June into a breakeven month or at least demonstrtate I can turn the account around and stop the losing streak (week commencing 19 June). From what I can see, the only way is to move my stops much further, about 3-4 multiples of my original stops and taking a significantly lower profit as a result. Less profit, but also less risk and the larger stops would be more tolerant to slippages. The strategy itself remains unchanged though, because I believe in the historical backtests. It is just unfortunate that backtesting doesn't allow historical slilppages and spreads and these are dependent on the choice of brokers (raw / direct market access brokers).
