Personal Notes From Rob The max drawn down I have seen in 60 days of trading this (with the inventor) is -60 pips, before a profit was eventually reached, within 24 hours every time.  The inventor stops at the mechanical end, and I think that is a potential disaster. The discretionary end: ===================== 1.  If the total loss on the trade is more than 30 pips, I start to look for ways to double up on one side of the trade and then get out of it faster.  This has included watching for a reversal move at support or resistance, or a breakout at support or resistance.

More Rob Notes 2.  The reason this side of the system exists is because this trade could really go south in a hurry and leave me 100 pips in the hole -- probably not more than that over a day, since the pairs are somewhat correlated.  I don't want that.  I arbitrarily picked 30 pips to help keep myself out of trouble.  The system has worked for 60 days without the discretionary part, but I think it's good to have it as a backup plan.
