Said that is really great advice. Very practical and all techniques that I can see will help. Thank you, and I really appreciate the offer of help.

[JulianCohen]

OK well that’s good to know. There is a light at the end of the tunnel then :dry:

[JulianCohen]

That’s interesting. I would have thought the vol based position sizing would have eaten the equity much faster…What settings are you using?

[JulianCohen]

Ah I see.(said the blind man). Thanks a lot Said. Appreciate it. I have never coded before. I can see how the code solutions can become quite elegant.

[JulianCohen]

Thanks Said,

Here’s the code

Hi guys,
Any idea why my Guppy MMA properties are showing on the chart parameters under price as well as under their own section please?

[JulianCohen]

My name is Julian Cohen. I retired seven years ago after a long career in the money markets as a broker. I never turned my hand to trading until I retired, although I had read a lot about it for many years, and aways leaned towards trend following or momentum trading, and certainly systematic as opposed to discretionary.

I have been trading my own account for four years now, and haven’t blown up my account, which is something to be happy about. I have learned a lot about myself during this time, and I know that to remove the emotion from my trading, I have to remove all the discretion. This I have done for the last year with a futures account that I run on Trading Blox. I had a programmer write my system for me and thoroughly tested his work. This cost a lot, but I have more than made up for it results. I run a long term weekly trend following system based on Donchian breakouts, with a counter trend mechanism running alongside. It is simple and it works.

I realised that I had other ideas I wanted to test, but with no programming knowledge I was always going to be paying someone to do it for me. Then I heard Nick on a podcast, read Unholy Grails, trawled the website and saw the mentor course actually taught programming. Not only that but they could teach complete beginners too. So here I am.

In my spare time I am an underwater photographer and I travel quite extensively. A weekly trading system is great for that.
