Another positive month for this b-book trading concept.

Although the results is promising however based the last 3-month's observation, the system is still having some "weaknesses" need to fine tune.

1) The DD is high
By using a small account of 1.5k to trade against many demo accounts can easily experience big DD.
Losing EAs also occasionally have winning days; during this period of time, this b-book account is going to have high DD.

2) The total number of trades is crazy high.
For the last 3 months of trading, I have been seeing the total open positions was more than 130 positions at one time.

3) The equity swing is VERY wild.
By using this concept, we are more often to see floating gain rather than floating loss because these commercial EAs will have floating losses most of the time when running; and when we reverse their trades, we will see floating gain.
But there was time, they were able to fight back the floating loss, so I have experienced many times the floating gain just disappeared quickly.
This kind of 见財化水 situations have happened at least 4 times.

Psychological wise this is not easy to deal with.

thanks for the info

im using one ea .

it is working great during market sideways.

but it will fail when market is trending.

i have to use the same way to “retaliate” the trade when it is trending.

sometimes the trick works. sometimes i have to wait.

i try to avoid dca... but i do find some minor dca up and down helps max out profit... but dca also means taking up a slot and long waiting... without dca it could buy something else and profit faster...

anyways how u doing with bbma?

sometimes profit ..sometimes not ..

every time i loss , i have to go back to BBMA notes and videos to see what i was missing . haha .
