Yunsk's Demo Account Discussion

Important Note Regarding August 5 & August 7, 2026Due to a nationwide internet outage in Iran during the war, two trading days (August 5 and August 7) were affected by an exceptional technical failure.On both days, one position was executed without its intended Stop Loss and Take Profit orders because of the network disruption. As a result, the trade no longer reflected my predefined risk management rules or my trading plan.Since these events were caused by an external technical issue rather than my trading strategy, I consider them exceptional cases and not representative of my normal trading process.For this reason, if you are evaluating the consistency of my trading system, I recommend assessing the remaining trading history separately from these two dates.I have kept these trades in the record for full transparency rather than removing or hiding them.

After one month of trading and tracking, I’ve decided to close this track record and move forward to the next stage.

The account finished the month with a “+21.8% return”.

One important point regarding the “26.4% maximum drawdown reported by Myfxbook”:

This figure was materially affected by the exceptional technical incident on “August 7”, which I explained in detail in my previous discussion post.

Due to the network/power outage, a position was executed without the intended Stop Loss and Take Profit orders. This created an abnormal exposure and drawdown that was “outside my predefined risk-management rules and normal trading process”.

I have intentionally kept these trades in the track record for full transparency rather than removing or hiding them.

When evaluating the consistency of the actual trading process, the drawdown attributable to the normal execution of my strategy was approximately “1.5% of the account equity”. The “26.4% figure should therefore be viewed in the context of that exceptional event”, rather than as representative of the risk normally taken by the strategy.

For anyone interested in the full story behind the August 5 & August 7 trades, I recommend reading my previous discussion post, where I documented the incident in detail.

Return: +21.8%

Myfxbook reported Max Drawdown:  26.4%

Normal trading drawdown:  ~1.5%

Tracking period:  1 month

But the numbers are only one part of what I wanted to test.

The purpose of this track record was to see whether I could execute my strategy consistently, follow predefined risk-management rules, and remain disciplined through different market conditions.

There were mistakes and there was an unexpected technical failure. I chose not to hide either of them.

That is also part of building a track record I can stand behind.

This account is now closed, and the next stage will be built on the experience, data, and lessons collected during this month.

“The goal was never simply to make a high return. The goal is to build a process that can be repeated.”
