hey neal,
Today i'm currently in the negative with my account. I'm currently running the gridboxer and the pipboxer...
The programs for a few weeks when i started out were running incredible! I was up over 60% at one point, but then i found my account in a downtrend pattern...
I did an analysis of my account and it's trades and it turns out that the gridboxer was the culprit...
Had I used the pipboxer by itself I would be up about 25% right now after a month and a half, but the gridboxer deleted those gains and put me in the negative 30% as of today (lowest I've seen my account is 50%). **But so you guys know i did close some trades which did affect how much profit i could have had, but to be fair i still would have been negative, just not as much**
However, thanks to the guys at Becomeselfmade.com they came up with a solution to the gridboxer, it's called ITM (investatech trade manager i believe), and since then it's been a steady uptrend in the trades from the gridboxer, it really cuts down on the volatility that the program creates...
So now here's what I'm going to do, in another month i'm going to do another analysis of the trades from the gridboxer with the ITM and pipboxer and post my results here for you guys...
But in conclusion, up to this point the pipboxer has been great, the gridboxer has caused huge emotional swings, but the ITM appears to be controlling the volatility so i'll keep you guys posted!
