After having two consecutive system losses (which rarely happened) with Newstrader Program, the EA finally pulled back one positive trade with GBP/USD. I couldn't believe the trade entry level this morning was to be found in the 1.6300+ region.
The market was in heavy sell-off mode which started since yesterday evening. This was another volatile market that I had to deal with - no doubt about that! Bear in mind that I was using a conservative strategy which encouraged a minimal drawdown in the first place.
I couldn't believe I was under such immense pressure watching the price ticks after the release of MPC meeting minutes. With the EA in operation, I should be embracing a care-free attitude towards ea trading and accepting all end results positively. But I failed to do that on a consistent basis. Nonetheless, I was relieved to get some positive results in the end.

You stated that, "Bear in mind that I was using a conservative strategy which encouraged a minimal drawdown in the first place." Do allow your EA to complete each trade according to its parameters or are you modifying or making it unique in each trade?
I applied a standard stop loss level across all trades. But I did have some other parameters for trade entry and exit, thus making each trade "unique" in a way.
