BSFilter, thx for the comment. you wrote: "You can only ever visualize a currency's strength based on where it was x periods ago. Change that start point and the strong/weak can look VERY different" i would add my note, that it is correct, X period ...

dukas has a point there. i have yet to live long enough to see a hedge fund turns down managing money, and instead start to offer signals for a flat monthly fee. neither financially, nor execution wise doesnt make any sense. from the signal buyer ...

The next step after reaching broker lot size limit

sometimes i look at the charts in Asia, but due to the counter trend nature of my scalping, the times best suiting me tend to be London-NY overlap hours, and i would say probably 80-90% of my trades fall about that time. it also limits my trading ...

Grid Correlation Trading- From $5,000 to $100,000

the reality of backtesting. and simulator still be a rosy picture where slippage not in the picture yet. anyway, i would not say to give up, but work on some modifications perhaps. on the other hand, try to not curve-fit too much your data, else it ...

Why 99% of traders lose money

Grid Correlation Trading- From $5,000 to $100,000

often comes up a debate on pips gains, and how useful or not it is to look trading based on the pips. just recently answered on another thread about it, cos someone cited my TE... and i thought those who read my thread, maybe also find the answer ...

you have a long way to go. but lesson one: not all pairs created equal. and in turn not all pips are equal. i traded some exotic pairs, as i still do time to time. UsdMxn is one. it daily range is 1500-2000 pips. but it's pip values are not 10$/pip. ...

Why 99% of traders lose money

lets just say i was testing some idea, and in that moment it seem to offer some benefits into the testing. the first point is correct, in the beginning no what to exactly know what things will be. second point is correct, many things can go wrong, ...

Grid Correlation Trading- From $5,000 to $100,000

you are also missing few points. 1. you never buy this EA. demo deposit. 2. test runs in 2 pairs, but the EA was created and advertised on 'triangle correlation' 3. lucky periods exist when EA does well, and get ahead. i had demo forward tested it. ...

hi J-F, EurAud had a very similar chart to EurUsd i posted...opt the later one cos lessen entry, easier to follow on the chart. Doing the trading manually, needs to make quick decisions, and able to change the plans on the go. There is some ...

respectfully disagree. as a full-time trader you have to perform....but you can also pick your battles wiser than someone part-time who can access the market only at certain times. not to forget: having no open trade is also a 'position' on the ...

8 Years Later - Still Not Winning

with really strict money management you can do wonders. i personally think 100$ is too small, makes risk harder to size, and promotes some overtrading ( plus 5% a trade is large risk)... but what i think and what you can do is different. i surely ...

Why 99% of traders lose money

Friday is over. weekend, finally! the last day of the week did give me surprise, some more action i needed, heavy trading, and ultimately enough profit to make it look OK. today Euro had some very strong trending move, and i was in my usual fashion ...

My way to highway

lets just face it, it is a very risky EA. i have to admit, at a curious moment of mine i bought this EA, for a discounted price of 150$. i consider it as charity, because i ended up never using it on a live account. may look good without looking ...

Grid Correlation Trading- From $5,000 to $100,000

i am all in from reversals. but if you lost 8$ on 3 attempts, that means you havent risked your 5%/trade...ie. already not matching the backtest. if one advise i would give, that being right on the general direction, and lose one's deposit can ...
