The strategy lost $125 today. This ties the most consecutive losers in the backtest.
For the sake of regularity, I'm going to continue this journal.
Also, I plan on starting a new journal on Monday which will track the trades on two strategies which have been optimized for best day(s) of week to trade.
Best day since running this thing and perhaps shows that drawdowns are an inevitable part of the business and if you prematurely abandon a system (which is designed to be traded long term) you'll never reap the benefits.
As a rule of thumb, one should start trading a system during a drawdown rather than a new equity high.
