depends on your system dude! and it depends on your personality and your perception about this system
if your system loss 20% of 100% total trade then your method is perhaps will claim back all the losses
but if the system keeps trigering at the down trend even the father of super martingale can find him self sleeping at his neighbour garage in the next morning :)).
my suggestion is that
1. just cut and paste your system logic into indicator builder and see whether the signal correct and suit your personality
2. avoid pyramiding and see how your system goes
3. just ask your self about your system. was the system signal is purely from you or someone who only know a slight coding method and admit him self as a "coach or even trading guru" offer you this system. I did experiencing this condition before. when I ask him back whether you know what the system picks he was just smurking. at that time I was so angry and knew has been deceived. felt like I was going to smash his head by a base ball stick. since then I never trust anyone before my eyes see it
