Hopefully everything going well mate. I am also just another manual robot to those followers to copy isn't it? It is not that easy mate, sometime some DD also let us headache especially last few days when about 400++ DD. But as always, if I know I am doing the right thing, nothing to worried about. As you see my status update, many people are extremely worry on GBP/AUD but I know I did the right thing. Just keep it in patience, by the end with an average of 200 pips closing for that. Trading need a lot of patience, and sometime I did some mistake too. But 1 thing always in my mind, realize the mistake, admit the mistake and learn from mistake.
(Never write a long post with crappy 3g.)
I hope I got a decent tolerance of dd. If breadman said stuff like "Yo, I expect pullback in 3 weeks time, get your body ready." I would ride it out (which I did even with zero comm for quite a few month, until the latest fiasco). I believe in equal responsibility from the followers part. If told upfront that you got to weather some wild wind, and you're not up for it, then you have a choice. That's what I meant by not being a robot. The details of the trading I would leave it up to the SP, because thats the whole point of being a follower. Its great that you have daily updates.
Like I see a lotta followers go berserk whenever a position is opened during news, and goes into dd. Seriously, I doubt the followers complain when the same thing happened but it somehow go their way. Like even you said in previous post, good news rarely bring a long trend and could be opposite. So I leave that to the SP, if his high probability setup disregard news, so be it.
Patience, definitely. Expecting same performance every month would be insane. 80% win rate is like having 2-3 crappy month in a year. Totally acceptable. Trading is not easy as you said. Though I would be seriously spoiled if you pulled a April again and again.
Hope I'm a rational follower.
