Relative drawdown, maximum drawdown, average consecutive loss count, and dynamically adjusting my risk per trade accordingly─my SL points remain constant, but lot size adjusts.

in this way, my lot size is reduced to the minimum lot size, e.g., 0.01, when the average consecutive loss count is exceeded. Once a profitable trade closes, the lot size returns to a percentage of account balance. As a result, losing streaks in sideways market conditions are mitigated by minimal lot sizes, while winning streaks in swinging market conditions exploited. In turn, the account balance grows, the percentage value grows, the account balance grows, and so on...

What matters most is a strategy's ability to perform across all 3 situations: sideways, trending, and swinging markets in historical data.


1 The absolute match between backtest and live trading, 

2 The successful testing across the entire historical sample with compounded growth, 

3 The evaluation across all major and minor FX pairs,

Those 3 together form a rare combination of the most important characteristics of an algorithmic trading system.
