AND THAT VERY DANGER IS WHY I CHIME IN, SO WHY NOT PUT FORTH A MANDATORY DISCLAIMER WHEN YOU TOUT A 9 THOUSAND DOLLAR SYSTEM ?
bragging -- no bragging there as 36 years is the number i have traded, and my beating your 400 % was stated, fully and in plain sight, to have been a happy mistake and error --- THATS as far from "bragging" as one can get, but it was interesting to see 20K turn into 160K in a few days (btw, only as an aside, it actually went to 360K, 12 days later, and i sold so fast i didnt have the time to take a screenshot of that one, so i rarely mention it !

Fair enoguh Mr. Senior, I disagree on the SL subject, because I believe in controlled risk. I would be glad to discuss futher the hypotethic absence of SL. I have however to highlight my completely opposition to that strategy, I manually use SL and my robots use it too and we have been winners. Maybe we can discuss it on another thread so it could be on topic. If your results are so outstanding maybe you know something that I dont. Please note that for me my SL has been my friend and after in-depth post-trade analysis I always concluded that if it wasnt for my SL I would be back in the office for my dayjob which I already left long ago... Furthermore I have been in contact with other seniors and forex veterans and you are the first one who comes with this theory.
I truly hope your sucess continues. But dont misinterpret me, I am not here to compete. I am an asset manager and all my clients are 100% satisfied.
I dont need to compete. And, for the record, 400% was the performance of the EA's I didnt add my manual performance on top of that. You know why? Because in opposition to you I dont need that kind of vanity.
See you around.
