At 0.3% return per trade on average after 1000 trades he should be at about $3400 all things being equal. Did he have a few winning streaks to bump the numbers up? My real concern is that he is such a great trader but was trading a $200 account. If ...

Multiplying 140x the balance of a live account in 30 hours

I have to agree with 666Doom that they only work sometimes. I used to combine them with Bollinger bands and stay out if the bands were flat but when trending you could catch some good moves. I caught this down move on Feb 12, a perfect entry with a ...

Pivot points + pa structure trading

mmmm... Vague trading strategy, unashamed talk of huge success, suggestive inner group forming but no set date yet? Phrase "My Team" used. Sounds like DK is headed for the commercial section. Carbon copy of Dancing Phil. As long as there are sheep ...

LFX Trading Proverbs

Hi Alamhakim, No offense but regarding your backtest of G/U daily that is a huge trend of 1100 pips in a month. You should still be in the trade as per the rules and 5 of the 8 trades are underwater. Like I said before the problem is you keep adding ...

High Flying Trading (HFT) Method

url Has anyone bothered to do the math yet? If not you are kidding yourself. This run up netted 1050 pips for a 375 pip move. Since the OP must have split his capital in 20 to ride this move the 1050 equals 52 pips if all in. That's just 5 pips a ...

High Flying Trading (HFT) Method

Hi Crimson, GBP/NZD is highly trending and volatile so anything can happen. Regarding news since banks buy the rumour and sell the news the opposite reaction can easily happen. I'm in this trade to catch the trend which started on the daily Jan 4 ...

I'm quiting trading but can someone elighten me on this?

A fascinating subject but why would you want to deal with absolutes (Impossible, Possible) when the markets can only be understood in terms of probabilities? Also, the billiard balls example suggests the cue ball goes every which way but in reality ...

Prediction is impossible when anything is possible

I don't trade this strategy but I've looked at it and you might try the 5 min with setting 65 (325/5). Much fewer signals. and I think the 1 min must be exhausting to follow. This run has 19 signals but you could ignore the same levels and take 11. ...

I just did a slippage test between Tallinex and Oanda on the US news 5 minutes ago. Tallinex 22 ouch! Oanda 1.6 for exactly the same trade. I'll stick with Oanda any day.

I think the banks and market makers get the reports ahead of time and look them over but are not allowed to trade until the release time. This means there is a ton of orders just waiting for the "send" button to be hit. Then those orders run into ...

Anyone believe price movement at news releases is fundamental?

I think it's going straight down the drain like the thread name implies. Check back the end of the week for your 350 pips. Easy.

EUR/USD The Royal Flush

Yeah, you'll be waiting a long time. This thread must be a new record for least substance! Two charts from the OP with no explanation. Unbelievable. I think FF should install a button that if enough people push it the thread goes in the trash bin ...

Forex Dream Chasers - The 90% rule of randomness

Unfortunately FF is really just a hen party. Once people learn how to trade successfully there is no need to be here. Stocks are just a different set of problems to overcome. More manipulation there I think.

I have decided that forex is a losing game - moving to stocks

Q - What happens to a company's stock when they sell the least profitable division? It takes off. Alternately what happens if they pour buckets of money into that division? It tanks. If Greece gets the boot this baby is gonna fly. First it will have ...
