Maybe I have seen this journal in the past but I do not remember now. My question is: How come although the last 3 or 4 trades were losers the gain in equity is substantial? Can you provide details? I am also using two trend-following systems and I am thinking of opening them to other markets.

Quote from intradaybill:
No need to "sigh", I understand all about open equity. Do you know the maintenance margin requirement of all those trades, your overall leverage and the VaR for your closed equity, which is obviously much less than $270K?
Do you know you have redundant positions in forex? For example:
Long GBPCHF
Short GBPUSD
Long USDCHF
are three of your open positions. All you need is a double position long USDCHF.
