Losing days

Wow you're seriously going to tell me what I would have or not have done! Pretty assumptive.
I'm telling you trading my method I would've taken a two point loss on that opening down trade. Peace out buddy

You did say you would have shorted at the opening bell, which means 09:30, and the opening print I have is 2433.00. The lowest print of the day is 15 minutes later, and is 2428.25. Shorting anywhere within the first 5 minutes would have gotten you your 3 points. Perhaps you have a different definition of what you mean by shorting at the opening bell?

Did the CME website go down so you couldn't get the delayed charts?

What's the average dollar amount for those 48 losing days per year ?

Over the last six months it was -3500 GBP.

At my current position sizing, the average losing day is expected to be -5000 GBP.

As the account grows and shrinks my position size changes, if i double my account from current levels then my averaging losing day will be -10000 GBP (based on the back test data).
If i have a 50% drawdown from current levels the average losing day will be -2500GBP as my position sizing will be halved as well.

This is not good. Methinks you should be first in line for a delicious slice of fairy cake.

Winning days, which i dont mention as they are not the topic of this journal, are obviously much bigger (on average) than the losing days.
Otherwise this would all be a waste of time.
