Big, Serious Drawdown- Live Performance Tracking Cut Off by 4XLounge.
Ok, so I have been watching these guys for a while and reading the setups. The indicators look effective and I was thinking of signing up. Since Adam left and Dan took over a couple of months ago the signal results have apparently been very good. But they had another horrendous drawdown on Tuesday. So I guess he was using excessive risk to goose the results. Shortly after things started to go wrong, the public MyFxBook reporting was halted. No doubt for sudden and unexpected "technical reasons". As you can still see here it got to about -50% for the day before the plug was pulled, with several trades way down but yet to close. (I have some good images if the account gets removed, deleted or made private). MyFxBook 4XLoungeTrackingAccount ID #533267.

Notice the max-equity used of 41% with god-knows how many trades still open. In an attempt to save the account, he seems to have added some funds to try to stop margin calls. But the trades do not turn his way, and the drawdown gets even worse (-60%) before he disables the reporting to Peace Army. Pulling that plug too, presumably because the news was very bad or worse. And I’ve seen several posts on other trading websites that complain of an 90% wipeout DD and that he is deleting any negative comments on his 4XLounge forums. Any 4XL members care to comment here instead? Looks like some ugly stuff, but maybe there’s an explanation.
And now they have a temporary halt on new subscriptions. Thank flack I don’t risk any real money with them. But be warned. If this is blatant, dishonest behavior then FPA should investigate. And certainly, they should explain why the FPA live-trade verification programme was turned off at such a critical point.
