Phil, you might indeed be a very good trader, but it is apparent to me you know very little about hair care. You see, split ends are not repairable; it's a common myth. The only solution to split ends are to cut them off. You should be ashamed of ...

Picking the right Broker

When I am blunt with new traders, my posts are deleted, and I have an "attitude". When Dial is blunt with new traders, they thank him. Maybe I should just stop posting altogether; it would definitely save me some time, seeing as I never help anyone ...

Need help! Newbie questions...

It is obvious you havn't been trading long. This is probably the worst advice I've seen on this forum thus far; and I'm on here quite a bit.

I think BurgerKing is doing well, so I'm going to trade the news. No. I won't. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. By the way, this is not saying that Rob isn't doing well, nor is it saying that Burger isn't doing well. It is simply ...

NFP Analysis-There's A Lot Below the Numbers

% profitablilty is the percentage of winning trades. If you're "right" 50% of the time, you have a % profitable of 50%. The win/loss ratio is the average winning trade over average losing trade. So, if your TP is 50 and your SL is also 50, your ...

Absolute Simplest KISS Method. Also, how do we measure risk reward?

You say you need help and three people tell you basically to stop what you're doing and exit the position. You would rather have your revenge. It's your account, do what you wish with it. I wish you luck, maybe it will help you.

Need help! Newbie questions...

If the reason for entering the trade is no longer valid, then the best course of action is to exit the trade. Do not hope and pray that your negative position will swing your way, or you're going to be looking at a textbook margin call. Admit you ...

I believe the original Big Ben strategy is a little outdated. I've read it used to be very profitable, but with a little change in the markets, it's not exactly what it used to be. Maybe it's still worth trading though, I dunno.

Big Ben EA

Spend your time "trading around your problems". It is much better invested than trying to "understand" why something happens.

Anyone think the Euro and London Opens Choppy?

Which is a waste of time to me. There are systems on this forum that are on the right side of trades less than 50% of the time with a win/loss ratio of 1 (Meaning the wins are the same amount as the losers). I doubt you'll get a better entry with ...

Tax question

Matt, I think that doesn't make sense. If you're on the right side of a trade, it isn't a crappy trade.

Absolute Simplest KISS Method. Also, how do we measure risk reward?

Pips don't mean sh*t! It could be the case where % profitable (how often it wins) and/or win/loss ratio (average winning trade divided by average losing trade) is FAR more important to a system than net pips. Money management is what makes a good ...

daily range Strategy

Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but are you saying to create a system that randomly enters a trade, and depends on an optimal SL and TP to be successful? If you are, you are wasting your time. The whole concept in trading is to achieve a ...

Absolute Simplest KISS Method. Also, how do we measure risk reward?

I think you answered your own question. Like you said, it seems to trend more after London opens. There is, indeed, a lot of indecision between the Europe open and the London open, so why not just wait for the London open to use your trending ...

Anyone think the Euro and London Opens Choppy?

Thanks Craig. Like I was saying, maybe look closer. If you're using the strategy tester in MT4, maybe you should learn to use it properly. If you're testing manual (I doubt it, as this would take actual "work"), I suggest you look at a lower time ...

Backtesting

Even Christ himself couldn't answer that question with what you've provided. I would, however, suggest "zooming in" to a lower time frame (5 minute for example) and seeing exactly how price is behaving. You may be missing something.

There is an entire forum on this discussion. From the main page, select "Broker Discussion". You could spend anywhere from one to three days straight depending on how fast you read. You can thank me at that time.

10 pips a trade to success!

So you're saying that every single broker decided to spike up 10 pips just to go hunting? Sounds like a conspiracy theory. I doubt all the brokers have a meeting just before news release to decide to manipulate every single traders data feed. If you ...
