    Good thread. I'm a long term trendfollower as well. Since my equity high of April last year I had a drawdown of 34.41% per end of last month.
    My max drawdown in my 13 years of following this program has been 48,72%.

    It's not a very good feeling but there is no question of quitting. Because I just have to go over my stats and see that I'm still so much up over all.

    Keep going!

  2. That's the most important thing. I've survived drawdowns over 30%, I will survive this one as well.

    I am guessing, but think the lows are in on your drawdown. Most markets are off the extremes and starting to rotate to new trends. Before end of the year, you be making new equity highs.

  6. What month? Was that to close a long position?

    P.S. Maybe it would be better if you add the contract month.

  7. I trade through Polish MM and I think they quote most liquid future.
    In this journal:
    sold - opened short
    bought - opened long

    closed - closed last one.
