Fractalated Bob

I officially switched my FB demo to H1. M15 is just to too hot for me, and this latest retrace of the USD across the board was a good test (watched my available margin drop to 50%), and I doubt trading less pairs would help as I think having many pairs is beneficial. Guess I am the boring type, lol

I'm on board with that, I'm doing the H1 but only 6 pairs. I think using more pairs is better with the basket closure. The nature of fractals suggests higher time frames would be more stable anyways. For me, H4 or H1 is best.

H1 20 vs 16 pairs makes a difference. See my demo vs live account below.

Actually very good compared to what I'm seeing.

H1, all pairs;
- max DD 495 pips [~5%]
- booked -226 pips this week [2,7%]
- currently -100 pips with 2 trades open
- 4 big trades were closed negative, over 100 pips each

All in all I'm happy with what I'm seeing sofar.

@ Steve, the second number in the CSS value of the on-screen comment, what does that mean?

Remainder of basket closed, now -210 for the week.

This looks awesome. I would love to see a stochastic filter for FB also, this could help to avoid the huge drawdowns, especially on lower timeframes. (my M15 FB had a DD of over 1500 pips this week, but luckily recovered completely. With a stochastic filter, this wouldn't have happened.)
