Yes, that was very helpful, have some how to questions, -I'm new to MT4, is there a way to stop it from jumping back to the current screen when looking at historical data? it makes it very difficult to look at data when it keeps changing screens on ...

Ok, but since TOPS was mentioned in this thread I thought it was open for discussion, I'm not really interested in talking about the other aspects of trading here, I'm well aware of all the other facets you mention, but I would be more interested in ...

SF, Trust your instincts! Sounds like you have a solid strategy, if its telling you not to trade, DON'T TRADE, and don't feel bad about it either, easy to say right? Sam

When to walk away...

ES, I checked out the latest SS but I'm not sure I agree with including UPL in your base exposure factor. Its probably Ok if you have a positive UPL but if its significantly negative and you are taking the absolute value of it aren't you allowing ...

VantagePoint discussion thread

Actually now I'm more confused, 2 questions: 1. You replied to Dial that you reduced your holdings for each pair by 2/3 but you also stated that now that the exposure is less you are going to introduce new funds into C&C so would'nt you be ...
