I'm just curious why you were able to use the semi-martingale on a $1000 demo account, but not on a $1000 live account. What is the difference? Why not just trade your real account up to $2000 and then take $1000 out of the account and keep going ...

Semi Martingale Strategy

Maybe the EA only works live on a "Real" account and not a demo account. I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm not going to trade this method w/ real money since I don't think it is viable. At first I thought the concept was interesting, but I am ...

NZD/USD — This pair is signaling a long trade, but I can't get a good enough R/R ratio to justify the long position. I have heavy resistance at around .7600 and current price is at .7530. My stop would have to be at the swing low at around ...

Best I could do — This is the farthest I could backtest on my demo account. The win % didn't change much. It's win rate is only slightly better then a coin toss at this point. Some other parameter would have to be added to make this system ...

ok. how many trades do you want me to make the report have? It's not going to change the win/loss percentage to make it over 70% winning trades which is what this strategy needs. I'll post another report with around 1000 trades in a few minutes.

Won't Work!!! Do the math.... — Even if you win 2 times for every loss, you still won't even be at break even if you are risking 35 pips to gain 15. Watch: Trade one +15 Trade two +15 Trade three -35 Total = -5 pips loss. You would have to ...

System doesn't work!!!!!! Here's the proof. — As you can see in the report below, the winning trades only won 56% of the time which is pretty bad considering you are risking two times what you are expecting to profit. Trade this strategy long ...

My trade is currently running negative. I don't usually watch my trades since I don't want to be influenced by my emotions, but since this is a demo account I thought it would be ok to comment on the trade before today's close. The swing low is ...
