Actually, I didn't want to "catch" you "stopped out" at all but was - as I said - a bit shocked myself how far EURUSD fell.
When I saw your positioning (and the SLs) I was a bit worried that some stop-hunting might occur in that direction but price fell much lower than I anticipated.
Anyway, best of luck for your approach - I often find it very inspirational.
Keep up your good work.
My SLs are adjusted accordingly with my views of price trend projection... If it will hold or not, that's the question to my systematically designed system along with other variables (fundamentals, sentimentals, various reports, upcoming news... etc.). Thus, dynamically... I adjusted the SLs and /or add more entries if needed, as well as to secure a little or more profit once price tick up positively on my end.
I can managed my personal account entries/exits properly... But as a prop trader before it is not always like that. I need to adjust my position sizing by the rules of the company and there's a pressure of maintaining profits consistently. Right now, I am just testing my system with them and in-return I will eventually normalized my trading style to adhere with prop trading company rules. Therefore.. back to being a prop trader once again.
Traders ---if there's more than one using this system of mine ; )--- One must understand... To handle drawdown much easier is to trade low volatility instrument like EUR/USD (much more stable), AUDUSD, EURAUD, NZD/USD... etc. Choose your own poison ; )--- With them, it is much easier to anticipate price movement or behavior... "better late than never" is not applicable ; )--- Of course there are a lot of ways to handle such drawdown, and not by simply choosing fx pairs or instruments but having a a nice tool like the one I have (IMHO) this systematically-designed trading system of mine called the v2v dynamic trading system ; )---
More than anything... Have a positive mindset, be passionately focus on things that worked well for you, and then go back to trading like that again.
