I've blown up before, so it's no shame or surprise. No need to be so defensive. I'm only commenting about your other system at C2 because those results are audited and real. And I was seeing if I can gain some insight on your trading style and trading pairs since your pattern trading has been quite successful. I fully didn't expect to see that huge drop in such short amount of time. Naturally, I thought maybe the market gapped and skipped right over your stops or the system simply lost its edge or the EA went offline when the market had a big correction. But I guess now we know that wasn't the issue, and it was just the common case of averaging down.

However, I'm quite surprised that you abandoned your strategy completely at C2 if your edge is still there, but only poor money management was the issue. I would think you go back to it, and eliminate the averaging down, unless averaging down is the key...so that would be a problem like the martingale strategies.
