I also saw the 2 other books you published and ordered them - cant wait till I start reading them. btw - if you got a few minutes and can take a look at my website and comment on it would be greatly appreciated. best regards, Milton Christofakis hi Curtis – I just found this website -

I would like to know more about MFE/MAE calculations. You say that it is better to do the calculations on the same time frame you are trading, but wouldn't this increase the risk if you need to wait 1h, 4hs, etc to see the development of your position? On the other hand, I would like if possible to understand better how you can use the E-ratio as a decision tool to enter a particular currency pair. I just started a blog with currency trading systems based on trend following strategies I have been studying for over 5 years. Very simple, but very effective if you actually stick to the plan :) Thanks! Hi Curtis,

The answer is the number you can afford to trade according to your account size (plus volatility of the pairs). Revisit the chapters on money management and the Turtle rules!
