I experience the Thanksgiving present from GBPUSD.
Live account : -70% margin(trailing stop aint kick in, continue short)
Demo account : survived with mild profit(trailing stop kicked in, change direction to long)
Backtest : closed with profit!!!
I'm now live with 76initial stop. Once in a while will hit stop loss, and its very painful.  Therefor, normally after 100% capital gain, I'll transfer my profits back to my main account.

Thanks David
Thats what I have been trying to say for the guys here ... lots of backtest which gives misleading information to new traders ... as the 10point3 will always gives +ve backtest ..anyhow I think you did a good job in explaining this issue .. I hope no one burns his account running the 10point3 on news... good luck guys
