Ins and Outs – 26th October 2009
In:
M5G Cyborg - I received some updated settings with a lower Risk Reward ratio or 4.5:1. I am going to test these in addition to the existing tests I have running. They have also included the USD/JPY. I will update my active test page shortly to reflect this
Carry 2 - Essentially the same carry trade I am running now but on the GBP/JPY. I am running it on a smaller account which is amplifies the risk but I need to see how it behaves as I will only be going live with ~$500 if the time comes.
Out:
PointBreak 5 - Just not really doing it for me. A lot of risk for comparatively little reward on Risk setting 5.
Chaos - I was ready to go live with this and then it blew up. I am glad this testing procedure is now in place. I just saved myself $500 potentially. Further, it gives me more confidence in those that make it through.
Zig Zag - Essentially failed the same time chaos did with big moves in the AUD that didn't retrace. Despite attempting to hedge open losses it unfortunately blew up and I am passing on future tests with this strategy.
