Results:
FXCM : -16.8%
Notes:
In retrospect, -16.8% is not too bad considering the swings that I went through during the month. I have decided to stop trading the Accelerator Trade, at least for now because of the volatility and general lack of sleep that I was experiencing.
I will keep trading the Counter Trend Trade and have started doing some automated backtesting. However, I am looking for a new strategy, one that is a lot less volatile and can produce more consistent results. Here is my first candidate.
