Pulled from trading for 10 working days (Aug 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31, and Sep 1, 2, 3, 6).
During the time i had done some basic studies and simulations to adjust my system.
It was a hard work, very intense and time consuming.
As I have not made any updates to the system since Jan 6, 2021, apparently it was outdated.

It will resume trading today, key changes are:
1) Fully automated to make sure no interruption from manual input. This is to reduce the chances of ridiculous loss per trade.
2) Stop add to a losing position, as this did not work well for past months.
3) Tighter stop loss.
