Being Drawn Further Down

The USDCHF trades continue to set new drawdown records in my account. Yes, I trust my bot, and I know it has the “brains” to get thru these trades. Yet, as it stretches into multiple weeks and has “Martingale” trades added, I am anxious to quit hitting new drawdown records in the account.

A new lot of 2.12 has been added. Each trade is at a loss, and the swap fees are getting ridiculous. Fortunately, the bot keeps track of all of these little details.

Even with the nearly $10,000 in drawdown, the bot closed a number of trades (mostly AUDCAD) and made a $600 profit today. So, even as I sometimes wring my hands and wonder when the bot is going to close all of the USDCHF trades, I can be grateful for the bots I have in my multiple bot strategy.
