traderumr replied Oct 19, 2018Grade: B Result: +2.1% Comments: Some good trades, but I did become stubborn on an idea which I knew wasn't playing out as I expected. From next week, I am aiming to focus on more volatile instruments/time/events, as that is what I trade well, and ...

traderumr replied Oct 16, 2018My account generated 2000 SL/TP modifications (I had 2 charts of same instrument opened with trade manager EA with different SL/TP settings so they keep alternating). So I guess ICMarket acted appropriately. But yes, there should be advance warning ...

traderumr replied Oct 15, 2018Grade: B Result: 0.8% Comments: Bad habits not going away. Plus looks like my trade manager went rogue. Basically locked me out of the account WHILE I was trading retail sales. Apparently it sent more than 2000 SL/TP modify commands in a day. Thanks ...

traderumr replied Oct 14, 2018@MoneyZilla Mate, you are very heavy on XAU short. You are either going to just win this if price retraces
Or lose over 50% if price continues higher this week
Best of luck with the trade.

traderumr replied Oct 8, 2018I have not found much slippage when trading in sizes of upto 10 lots at ICmarkets per click. Were you trading a larger clip size? Or trading crosses instead of true majors? Did you try to split volume across brokers/venues? You can even look in to ...

traderumr replied Oct 8, 2018I agree with the general sentiment that hard draw down limits can be determent to account growth. However discretionary traders can feel out of sync especially when they in the red. It can become hard to decide whether you are making decisions ...
