You are right;)
Unfortunately i left 'some guy' helped me with my account when i had problems with account running TOM's EA. And this guy just hedged all my positions. From that moment the equity does not move, but what can i do now? Just close the position and take the loss?

Hmm, you should trade it like Pitbull method, Blaiserboy is the expert on this. In short you find strongest and fastest moving pairs and add new positions on them, reduce and manage DD and you come up as a winner big_smile That's the theory at least, hopefully Dave will enlighten us more soon!
