Overall the record dictates the Trade Leader is successful but I was not a fan of the huge draw downs I incurred.

Too early to tell yet - but way too risky without hard stops within a 5% account balance risk range - I appreciate that these need some flexibility with volatility, but no reason not to use them at all, or have them so big it makes the R:R way too high/unacceptable. I don't like systems which spring a biggish loss out of the blue after a good run - the opposite should be happening, by protecting *** profits, especially around what is usually a very volatile time of year over Christmas and New Year.
