Apologies pipcop, I am actually incorrect about TC, you already are on a mini account at IBFX, so .01 is already a penny, so one can't proportion down any smaller with such as TC anyway, so best stay in good consultation with forex-goldmine to try to "size up" how much some bigger trend swings could have on your equity drawdowns. Too bad the past performance of demo you ran doesn't keep recorded the DD's that occured too, I've seen back-test have a green equity line for equity as opposed to just the blue-line equity chart, but not sure if live-demo can avail that in chart. Be nice if it could so you could examine past few months on demo and "give it" an X factor allowed tolerance for any possible trend moves in the future for worst case estimate.
You might ask (as I did once before) how the back-tests did during that range shift 1-1/2 years ago at same time.
