Why don't you tell us the answer...what helps peak to valley draw downs? Is it only exits, the part where the trend bends?? Giving back something at the end of a trend is the inevitable part of a trend following system, but I don't think this is the only factor that contributes to the depth of a peak to valley drawdown.The next market phase could be non-trending and volatile. False breakout territory. How do you prevent your system from digging itself further into the valley 1R at a time. Moving the stoploss to prevent entire 1R losses every time your system gets suckered by a false breakout might be one way (the beauty is I get to test it). Keeping your system out of an unfavourable market with a filter of some kind, like an index filter or a momentum filter for example, might be another way.
