Someone gave me the notion it has a few macd's in this EA, so stuck with that idea for a brief while I "knocked-off" "TripleHeaderMACD",
then I had a look and method was simply two identical macd's apart by 1 bar and an MA, so I kept the name 'cause it seemed catchy.
I got curious how many 50 to couple hundred pip size drawdown trades there were with SL set wide at 300, it's 19. There were 3 that had 3 or 4 days open around the weekend and only 2 that had 3 or 4 days open inside the week. All this is out of the total 56 trades thus far since 1/23 and includes 1 current open trade open for this weekend as a result of the impulse from NFP. I'm about to say "I'm afraid of such moments that can impulse and then keep a trade open with deep doo-doo (drawdown, tee-hee
)" however, on second thought, with nearly $1,500 profit since 1/23 on back-test, "what's a little loser like 300 pips still at 1 mini between friends, LOL", so an MM would be either way, whence doubling an account don't double the lots quite yet, do a 1 to 3X THEN double it, allow padding in case the bigger loser arrives, orrrrrrr, as I found with Megadroid, do a risk money management style of 1mini/1000 equity, what this will do is if and when big loser comes, the power to dig a hole in an account is out-stripped by power the method has to dig itself out, that would work too (the general thread megadroid account of mine has more than doubled itself in 2-1/2 months as witness the my url in that thread), back-test have demonstrated this as successful deal.
