All trades closed today so shut it down for the weekend.
Here are results for 4 weeks positive swap only. Next week I will add a few less expensive negative swap pairs as well.
Have a good weekend.

Perfect.
What TF are you trading?

I also cleared the board on my original demo this morning, and closed all out while in positive float.
Below is the performance of the last 5 months, starting 17-07.
The chart is a D1 chart, the red bars are the month-dividers.
I started the demo with 10K, and am now nearing 35K.

I did some manual intervention from time to time.
During the x-mas I will let the demo run, like my live account that is even doing better....

Impressive stuff Gertje, very well done I think we can learn from you when it comes to perseverance.

Cheers

I tripled the original deposit last week, it's been a crazy ride.
Downdraft has been a bitch sometimes, I'm working on something to try to reduce that.

Hi Gertje

I hadn't been following this thread but FXfoil got me interested and I've been reading through it
because I wanted to try and do a couple of changes to minimise the drawdown.

So how do you trade this thing now and which part of your trading is still automated?
If something is not working, it would be good to try and fix the problem.

Regards
Bill

Hi Bill,

The initial entry is automatic, after that the greater part is manual.

After the initial trade is triggered from the pending, I set the TP @ 50/75/100 pips, depending on the MarketDistancePips of the pair. The TP mimics the distance for the recovery trades.
Then I set a new pending at the TP-price, with the same TP-pips.
This untill I reach the original TP-level.
By doing so, I bank the pips on a run, and am able to reload on a retrace where the original trade would just be floating. PoS does the reloading automatically, sometimes I put in a limit-order to get to the edge.

Last weeks GBP gave me a headache, because the H4 was at the top, but the D1 was at the bottom of their 6th. The price kept making new highs on H4, creating a lot of DD.
All but 2 pairs have recovered now, GBPCHF and GBPUSD still to go.
Lately I'm looking more at the D1 chart then the H4, with good profit.
