PipBoxer August 12 - 18, ‘07 Weekly Results

article written by Boem.

A bumpy week for my PipBoxer forex trading. Altogether 18 trades were closed with 13 wins against 5 losses and a net loss of $11. Earlier in the week the account balance went up to $10,314 only to make a sharp draw down to $9,852 when NZDUSD and USDJPY hit SLs. It then recovered back above $10,000 toward the end of the week.

My account balance now stands at $10,017.54. There are 2 opened trades with some floating profit.

I followed the policy to manually close or adjust SLs or TPs when I reckon substantial profits can be taken. In retrospect, the policy was not contributing to the profitability as I expected. There were a couple of occasions where I threw away potential gains due to premature profit taking. So this policy will be abandoned. I also went against a warning of the developer of Pipboxer by continue trading NZDUSD which resulted in some losses.

    Hi,

    Why don’t you stick with the settings recommended by PipBoxer.com. They suggest not to trade NZDUSD. Take a look at their suuggestion about trade settings at http://www.pipboxer.com/news.php.

    Hi forextrader,
    Thanks for the comment.
    I was aware of the warning by PipBoxer’s developer regarding NZDUSD. I took a look at my own record of NZDUSD and I did not find performance issue with the pair. I accept now that the developer might have a better idea of what was going on. I was a little stubborn.
