1) The TMA that you use?
2) what time/s (GMT) you check your Daily charts?
Thanks in advance.
I use the standard TMA, 50period, 100ADR. Enter every 50pips from one line to the other and then back again. I check my charts too much, once a day should suffice.
I wouldn't recommend trying to copy this "method", DD is really, really bad.
I'm trying to get out of the DD at the moment, if and when the market allows me. After that I will resume trading more or less the same way, but with lower lotsize. If my current lotsizing gives me appr. 80+% monthly with 75%DD, than 1/5th of the lotsize should give 15+% return with 15%DD.....
[At least in theory]
I added MPTM last week to set BE+5 on every trade that goes 80pips in profit, to reduce DD when price retraces. This way I have a max of 2 open orders in DD. I first tried this at 50pips, but was stopped out too often on smaller retraces. I'm thinking about putting a 100pip SL as well, so the 'damage' once price makes a 180 is limited to 200pips.
Also for a person using 10.7 as a daily Indie, what time should one check ones charts (GMT/UTC)?
