I just finished my backtest to date Jan 2, 2014 for the period. I use OANDA Canada for my broker so some consequences might differ from person to person. This was because of its EU London open. The sign bar was the 2:55 am EST pub.
My review was to determine just how many reductions on a daily transaction would maximize my return. If you were to really have a max of two TP, I'd have gained 400 pips. This would have only been a risk of 30 pips max every day. By doing this, I could risk.6% of my account assuming a 2% daily risk per transaction.
If I were to go for 3 TP, I'd have gained 1040 pips for the same period. This would be a max risk of 70 pips every day. This would also cause lower my first risk to.3% to restrict risk to 2% of my account.
For 4 TP, the profit would have been 960 pips, indiing much more gain than 3TP. This would be for a risk of 150 pips. So I don't see much benefit and my first risk would be decreased into .15%.
So, for this egy, I'm will move ahead with a max amount of losses per commerce of 3TP. There is logic to quitting after the loss because the reduction plateau would ify any prospective fibonacci retracement or even elliott wave consequences.
