Same test was made on EURUSD but with a lot size of 0.01.
is it me or is GBPUSD on a 600 pip run w/o a retracement?
It isn't just you. Since Wednesday, I now have 4 accounts that have tested the Equity Protection feature. Unfortunately, on one account it didn't close all of the positions automatically. Possibly it was because three other accounts were popping up so many alerts??? Anyway, nauturally it happened to the largest account and it ended up losing more than 50% by the time I found out. It was running on a VPS so the sound didn't play locally.
I had only been using it for one month so the losses are real, big and painful. I now call it the "IRON hammer of PipLite!"
To avoid large DD and getting stop out guess I'll have to reduce my Maximum Risk to .1 instead of the default 5, ProfitSkew to 70 maybe higher a timeframe would help.

i've read all that thread and i'm surprised that no one try to trade only in ranging market conditions. It can be true anytime depending on what pair is traded.
I think that using some indi like bbflat could help alot to decrease drawdown.
