Thanks for the fast reply,

Yes, you are right. I looked it up and it was mentioned in the PDF-file : Robominer explaining draw-down problems.pdf.
This document starts with : What a difference a year can make.

The 5th paragraph mentiones the following, I quote :

"Does that happen? Yes. In the United States, a banking melt down caused the EURUSD to go 48% beyond its historical limits. But this didn't happen in the blind. We all saw it coming. If this was to take place in the AUDNZD, what would we do. We simply open our settings box for the AUDNZD and turn the “do trades” switch, off. As I write this, the EURCHF has drawn down to within 9 ranges of the lowest that it has been since there was a spot market (2001). It has reached a point where I may be interested in capitalizing on the draw-down by changing the magic number. (More on this later). The danger is mostly for those traders that have an aggressive balance-factor, 4000 or less trading both pairs."

Hope this helps to answer my question !!
