Spent the last few days staring at 500+ trades from the Money Machine bot, trying to solve one problem.

Testers had a common feedback: a single loss wipes out 4-5 wins.
Everyone's first instinct — mine too — is to shorten the stop loss.
That's the trap.
Tight SL means wicks take you out before your thesis even plays out.
You don't fix the losses, you just kill your winners too.
Took days of going through the data to find an SL that does both.
Deployed it last week.
No idea if it works.
We follow FAFO and let Paper trading do its job.
I know I'm delusional thinking this bot will be my money machine, while I'm on a beach somewhere doing nothing.
Might never happen.
But that delusion is the only thing keeping me building at 2 AM. 🌴
