I played around by adjusting the stoch to 70/30 and 75/35, it still hit
the equity protection.
Anybody got a better setfile ?

Hi riccia,
When you trade 6 pairs your equity for each pair is $833 so you may lose $416 (50%)
12 pairs aquity is $416 and you may lose $208 when you hit the 12th level.
My point is, as you trade more pairs you have better protection on your equity, it is unlikely that all pairs hit the 12th level at the same time.
Even if 2 pairs hit the 12th level you lose $833 if trading 6 pairs and $416 if you trade 12 pairs.
What is important is to see if your gains outweigh the losses you may have once or twice a month.
Cheers,
