believe this is possible if you have such a high rate profitability. If
you you have a 50% or 55% prof. I don't think it is possible to trade like you

quite don't understand when you say "we lost 100% of our equity (margin)" do you
mean lost 50% of capital ? Because for me losing 100% of your capital is being
BROKE, and if you lose 90% of your capital just remember you need a 900% gain
just to recoup your loss.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the exit parameters settings in a system building exercise. Two things needed
to be set "Money Management Stop" and "Exit Parameters". While fixing the exit
parameters first I am getting good winning trade% and average win to loss
ratio with a respectable profit. But since the drawdowns are more I tried to
put the Money Management stops but here the system got deteriorated. My money
management stops are coming some where around 15% of the entry point to get
the good result. But this is frightening. So I am trying with other set of
entry models.</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN

The numbering system was horrible from the beginning. Most likely a
newbie marketer decision, with no prior experience.
This was mentioned to Equis in many e-mail when it first happened. I
too was confused. The issue occurred when the RT version was not
called RT but Professional, and they used the SAME release version!,
as the EOD.
RT was a named coined by Equis who later dropped it in favor of
Professional, and EOD was coined from the users.... I may be wrong on
that. . .
The bottom line, poor marketing, trying to capitalize on "buzz" words
not in the user's mind.
