Universal Trend Trading

Quote from achilles28:

Your NAV is down over 50% in 4 months. Maybe it's time to reevaluate your strategy?

You mean stop trading, because of drawdown? Read my post 02-10-12 12:05 AM. I knew what I'm getting into when I decided what risk I'll be trading with. There is no guarantee that I will make a new equity high, but I will not stop trading just because I'm getting into predicted (accepted) drawdown.

Never say die, huh? You need to double NAV to breakeven.

250K isn't chump change. What's your 9 to 5 job, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, it is quite bad. Below, 41 years drawdown, no commissions. It's only 3rd time in history something like this is happening.
Not sure about fading, though.

I love long term trading, but get my signals off weekly bars, then refine on the dailies for commodities. I have a similar spreadsheet of DD and when I get to 90% of the extremes, I do the cardinal sin of doubling up volume.

So the only way for you to go is now up.

Usually for me, I have one outstanding year, then two years of so so profits. Two years of chop, LOL.

Good luck.
