I can see why you are disappointed at the moment,but Im sure that the amount risked will increase. I also noted that you trade far less than many providers. Im not suggesting that you change your methods as you have a lovely chart and performance. I would also be very cautious following you because of the reasons I mentioned earlier. anyone with a 98% hit rate and large stops is likely to have a good performance chart but many will be wary of a collapse.If I joined now and one of your trades went to the 500 pip stop loss,where would that leave me? I sincerely wish you the best and keep that performance up and in a few months many more will follow
look at this guy and Im sure he feels worse than you

Thanks,
yes followers are justified , because they have no way of knowing the different levels of confidence behind a trade, they treat them all the same, and they also see the feedback from people who have lost.
I read a comment today, a follower to his provider, he claims to have suffered a $2,000 loss over 2 days, nothing more said, if it's $2000 on a small account, and on small stops then it's worrying.
But what if (and that's a big IF) the provider had the longer term trend right, but used say a 150 pip stop per trade, and then the market went his way again.
Stop losses are a problem, no matter what you do, if that $2000 loss occurred because of news driven spikes, but the trend remained in place, then it's a pity.
this is why if I was to trade my own money on a big expected market move I would rather use binary betting, no matter what happens, a mini crash, an natural disaster etc, if the market comes back few days later you have your trade back and in profit, no matter how adverse it got
