Nexx, Unfortunately I have no experience w/ Metastock... But guess there are people at ET who do... Try to ask in s/w area maybe? And BTW, I use IB datafeed w/ Quotetracker for small TF's, PRT only for bigger picture.

All those % are account wise. As I vary position size from trade to trade depending on where to place a stop, posting numbers in pips has no sense. So I use units of % risk. My initial risk per trade is usually 2% of account. Well, it's not 100% truth, cause I have extra money (borrowed) which don't touch as trading capital, but keep in acct to get more margin (above max 1:50 allowed). So mathematically speaking my gains are less than I post if take all sum into account and risk per trade in % is smaller too, but in reality % on that other half per year are very small compared to gain on risk capital of several days and that money is at no risk as I'd never allow myself a DD to get into that sum, so I count profit on my own risk capital only...
This is f*** life. I have had 2 buy stops on a slightly different values /on EUR future/ bellow that beautiful line that was formed /because from that line jump is guaranteed but not always in expected direction. However it simply jumped over my both buy stops and I received big zero... I should be more brave and short it on that line but fear was simple too big. Btw, congratulation CF, great trade.
