Is this post a joke? This guys thinks 12% per month isn't worthwhile? If you are making these returns then you are overleveraging and have gotten very lucky. I expect to see you in the trader graveyard very soon, if that's the case. I hope you enjoy ...

That's not how profiles are calculated. You have to count every value that bar passes through. This usually done with 30m bars. For example a bar that spans from 1.5000 to 1.5050 would need you add 1.5000, 1.5001, 1.5002 etc all the way to 1.5050 to ...

This line of thinking assumes that you aren't listening to what the market is telling you after the trade is entered. Also, no one I know picks a target because "that's what they are willing to take". They pick it because at the time of entry that ...

There are two types of risk often discussed and it sometimes clouds the picture. There is trade risk and then there is account risk. This are just my words and you may use a different term for each but they are very different animals. What I've been ...

That's all we've been saying. I totally agree. I think where some of the confusion and offense has come in is over reportings total system results vs. individual trade specs. I certainly didn't mean to disparage your trading. I believe you when you ...

To all, I certainly don't want to start a pipsters-vs-nonpipsters war. I think you all have good points and it really comes down to context. Pips can be bad in certain contexts and fine in others. R multiples and % can be cumbersome when talking to ...

What are you here for then? Are you on a crusade to be useless contributer and insult people trying to offer suggestions? The title was tongue in cheek. If you don't get that I'm sorry for you.

longhorn, All of your points are correct but I was clear that I think issues of account size and risk-taking should be handled independent of the inherent system characteristics. When you look at a new system and are trying to decide if the system ...

You've already lost me. Sorry. When I hear those words I run the other way. But I'll say this. It's not really a new idea. I've seen it before in various incarnations. The markets aren't going to crack that easily, sorry to say. The problem that ...

So it's newspeak to encourage the use of industry standard ways of reporting results that were in existance long before the forex revolution? If anything, pips are the newspeak. How do you figure that this is an issue of political correctness when ...

Ok, I think I need to clarify because this is the second post implying that I meant we should switch to amounts of money vs. pips. I certainly don't. I'm actually suggesting something that very much doesn't depend on the risk or leverage that the ...

You make a good point but I what I mean to say is not that a new system necessarily needs to be created every few years but that a system needs to be proven over many market types. Too often a system is backtested on one type of market, like a ...

fairwind: LOL. I think your interpretation of my words is quite unfair. There is a big difference between ridiculing others and pointing out that pips isn't the most accurate way to report results in mixed pair situations. It has the potential to be ...

That's why I suggested %. It still hides money value. And yes pips are useful if you are talking about one pair or pairs all denominated in the same quote currency like EURUSD and GBPUSD, but I see systems that trade everything from xxxUSD to xxxJPY ...

20-30% annually. I'm sorry but I just don't buy it that people can consistently make 50% a month or whatever they claim unless they are using risk that is too high. Run the other way if they claim that. They may be able to do it for a short time but ...

So did anyone arbitrage this situation with OANDA's weekend trading? I ask because I was watching eSignal's GTIS data around 18:00 GMT and it was showing 1.566 EUR/USD while OANDA was still showing 1.58 and had their typical 10 pip weekend spreads. ...
