I have been using the version which was released in the second half of December. It is definitely not the latest version. Regarding settings: I use 0.01 starting lot, 0.5 Euros fix TP and 12-18 pips grids (depending on currency pair). EA is stopped ...

A visual update on how well the EA has handled the sudden upwards price outbreak on the "Dragon" (GBPJPY) today (Jan 8th). image

Just an update on the live account forward test of EG EA scalper stlye with fix TP on 3 pairs. My TradeExplorer is connected the same live account as MyFxBook, however the % results are different on TradeExplorer as it cannot calculate results ...

Thanks, Master Bauta! Your 11 years of backtest results are so good that any hedge fund should be proud of it. I am also playing with the idea of dynamic grids after a certain entry level, to avoid exposure to the proverbial "falling knife" in case ...

@ForexSamsam Well, with a dynamic and flexible EA one does not have to risk $1M to make 10 cents. If you look at my live account you can see that how all the cents have added up to more than 400 Euros just in 2 weeks without any major DD. Of course, ...

Float indictor could be the Holy Grail of trading it it were not "repainting". But since it "repaints", its not the Holy Grail. Nevertheless, it could be still usable even with some lag/repiant, but we should know after how many candles it stops ...

As the above posts show - in addition to avoiding red news - detecting trend changes before they "really" happen is a key factor for running "scalper" and "symmetry" modes at relatively low risk. I have found Oscillator of Moving Average(66.99,21) ...

Another excellent day (so far) using "scalper" style and a small fix TP (see my "GridScalper" Trade Explorer).

You are right. Being free of bosses and set work hours, having a home base in Europe/USA and traveling for vacations around the world seems to be the best choice. But living from a suitcase is not much fun after a time. Currently I am in Thailand ...

Daytrader as a round-the-world traveller

It is good to see that the percentage of the "wildly successful traders" in this thread is much higher than it would be predictable from the statistics... The only person who is missing from this thread is the great Baron Munchausen... He would be ...

Daytrader as a round-the-world traveller

I guess only 1% of the traders have this luxury (see below pie chart from "newschool's" website), and probably less than 1% is really into being on the move all the time. It may sound like fun traveling the world with a laptop, but after a few years ...

Daytrader as a round-the-world traveller

The shame is rubbing one's wealth under the nose of the less fortunate... who actually have to work for making a living. I guess you don't even know what real work is, how devastating it can be on health and personal relationships.

What is your weekly return?

@Orabi If you and your family are so rich, why do you trade? I guess it is just a hobby for you. For the rest of the traders - who were not born with a golden spoon in their mouth - it is a different story. Why do you have to rub your wealth in the ...

@TradeEmperor Actually he does exist and he is a retail trader, however I would consider him as a "professional", as he does it as a "profession". I am sure that there are many more similarly successful "retail" traders. They are the "5%" who have ...

What is your weekly return?

I would like to emphasize that all Forex strategies, and especially Martingale-style strategies (like this one) absolutely need "RED NEWS" discretion. In other words: it is senseless to stay in trade during "Red News" as it is like playing Russian ...

Those who can make consistent 3-4% per month with less than 10% DD can easily qualify for a well-paid fund manager job with the "Big Boys" in London City or with the "Good Ol' Boys" on Wall Street. To make a good living these "3-4% / month traders" ...
