This youtube guy is busted if there is a bigger move. He almost lost 2.5% on his account on a 70 Pip drop. He was invested 25 of 163 lots max in peak, starting with 0.1 lot. This is a raise of 250 times of his initial position on a loss of 70 pips. ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

Hi Folks, for next week I give you one secret from me: Counter Trend or Hedging is always a bit advanced in odds like trend trading. The reason behind that is, that the slippage works for you and not against you. I can give you one of my trade ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

Perfect, thank you. That's exactly what I had in my mind for long time already. Deviation from normal is the key. It is also interesting because you see how small the edge is in the end but it is more sufficient than most people think. That's ...

Where's The Edge?

@d5400: Thank you! Not sure if you meant me. Anyway, I trade different ways of pyramiding, martingale and hedging (Most times I play it the old way: I cut my losses (no hedge) and enter later again when market is even more moved in the wrong ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

Hey, d5400, would you please so kind and put all trades in a row when you finished with AudJpy from today? (I hope you can close all today) Would be very interesting to see how you managed the loss and if you trade with gaps like Waveskierrob (gap ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

Sorry for you. I backtested strategies like that before, it always ended up +/-0 because 1 of 100 days you don't get a fill/TP and that happened to you today. 11466 area never reached. Do you keep the position? @Waveskierrob: Thank for answering ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

I have a question: How long do you trade that approach already, Waveskierrob? I know it is Demo, but before? What is your currently biggest open position of longs/shorts which are not covered? (I know in Demo here you look really good, I think ...

Hedging/averaging trades without prediction

Hi Joyny, thanks for your insights! Am I correct, that your numbers are optimized till 2020 (for example 229.92 you showed in 2017and 2018 only 94.62). So your results were good in backtesting but with the same parameters you get worse results in ...

Where's The Edge?

First Part is correct, Edges are changing over time, I would say 2-4 Years, sometimes longer. 2nd Part: Can you be richest person in world with trading? The answer is: No. But the reason is different. It has to do with market limitation. The edge of ...

Where's The Edge?

Finally someone with input (ryuryu and som others, too, thanks). Please all others: please do us a favor and stop posting nonsense, like YOU are the key, thank you. That's so far fetched, no one can make sth. out of it. Here some profitable ...

Where's The Edge?

Yes, PA yesterday was algorithm harmonic. Sometimes they do that to produce losses for people like you. Kind of the game we all play here. Just keep to your system if it worked in the past.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I thought I'm the only one who recognized that. Datas are bullish for GBP, so should be stronger. Funny enough GBP goes down. But who knows... fundamentals... kind of itself and sometimes you miss something. You only can trade fundamentals if it is ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Hmmm...I don't think so, same on EUR/GBP (no gap).

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Spike was biggest on EUR/GBP. Still no news what happened there, Drop took 10 seconds and recover 1 Minute.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

any news?

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Bond Yields are returning from yesterday's high 5.080% to 4.607% currently. Also credit suisse has a small jump up. Not sure if only BOE intervene or if they intervene not at all. It seems a broader release of tension, at least in UK and Switzerland ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I think we are both on the same ship. If you SHORT the bonds, the bond yield (currenty 5.036%) is going UP. So someone, may be, who is pissed, is attacking the bond yield so it costs more to lend money for BOE. BOE of course want to intervene if ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Ok, here we are... image Time for intervention. Crazy thing is GBP still strengthen- that means, in my view, someone has to get more GBP to short the bonds, that is crazy!! That also means the attack comes from outside UK now.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Ok, BOE intervention is incoming soon, bonds jumped to 5.006% now, almost the level when they intervened last time... I wonder who plays against the BOE. Must be people with very deep pockets. I think GBP is strengthen because someone has to pile up ...
