Good day All
Just some feedback. So yesterday was rough day in the market. The EA was stuck in a GBPUSD sell trade from the Tuesday. I left the trade open hoping it would TP before the CPI news dropped. CPI news dropped and GBPUSD shot to the upside causing a massive drawdown. The trade ran well over 160pips. Causing a 60% drawdown subsequent blew around 50% of the account just on that one trade. Then on top of that I have been testing indices on live account made a mistake with the lot size boom lost another 10%. So overall not good day yesterday.
So as mentioned previously its safer to switch the EA off when high impact news drops. I had the option of closing the trade manually before the news dropped and lose 3% on the trade but I decided the keep it open. And it bit me.
Cheers.
