Soul I have to say it mate, you do spout an absolute load of garbage at times! Most of the time it's simply not worth the effort correcting you so I don't bother but abusing your moderator status to change someone's sig simply because they pointed out the pip value of eur/gbp, that was out of order.

A 48% drawdown one month, followed by a 61% return the next equates to a loss! Russell is right, a trader would never allow those kinds of drawdowns so you saying "a discretionary trader would never have got there in the first place" is quite correct, but then I'm talking about a trader.

You claim TA is bollox and discretionary trading doesn't work, in fact according to you the only thing that does work are your automated systems which as far as I can see all lose money. Your excuse for the major drawdowns? Of course, it's a secret money management system!

What amazes me more than anything is the amount of people gullible enough to believe this crap


Ah, what's the point.....
