At war against drawdowns
Thanks Rene for this meeting point!😀 In search of fully automated trading, with some good automated strategy on some forex pairs, but trying to find solutions to the odious drawdowns that occasionally manifest themselves. I'm not trading in real right now, but my intention is to start after the summer with my best strategy so far: RSI+Moving Average. I don't like having to intervene with the robot on an occasional and discretionary basis, but there will be no other option against the lethal drawdowns. Does anyone have any reasonable ideas to fight the drawdowns? 🤔

First of all: drawdowns are part of trading, they cannot be avoided. In my opinion, the best way to minimize them is to use an additional strategy. A bigger DD always comes when the market situation does not fit the strategy. So I usually use 2 or more strategies that fit to different market phases and thus smooth the DD. To change the strategy or change the Inputs is not the right way, i think.

OnTester()
Does anyone have any experience with the OnTester function? I see in the documentation there is a way to optimize for balance max AND drawdown min, for example, but I don't understand it.

In the ontester function you can access all values that the strategy tester outputs. You can create your own key figures and then output them in Strategy Tester under Custom.
