    I have closed all 15 at 1850 for a PL = 15*3*50 = 2,250 USD

    Account Equity = 84,775 + 2,250 = 87,025 USD

    Hi, I have started thinking of taking this live, I will probably plot the equity curve and drawdown for this journal and once I feel convinced that the right time has come, I finally decide.

  4. Log the size of each drawdown. Think of your largest drawdown as your investment in this "business opportunity". If you exceed your largest drawdown when you go live then stop trading live and continue with paper instead and then re-assess whether the edge is still there. Think of yourself as investing in a startup where you know where you'll cut your losses on the venture.

    Ideally, you'd want to take the paper system through at least 30 drawdowns for statistical significance, however I violate that rule myself sometimes.

    flat out at 1879.

    Profits = 14*7*50 = 4,900 USD

    Account Equity = 87,025 + 4,900 = 91,925 USD

    Good job. Looks like it keeps going :)

    Only thing I can think of if ever going live is to have some sort of definition to an equities cool-off. I'm sure you know what I mean.

    Good luck!

    out 1839 for a loss of 5*8*50 = 2,000 USD

    Account Equity = 91,925 - 2,000 = 89,925 USD
