Xaron replied Sep 9, 2009Hmm... I have my stats now there as well but it seems to be buggy at least for my account as it shows a deposit of 20k where I only deposited 10k. That's why it shows an increase of only 35% for this year instead of the correct 70%... url

Xaron replied Sep 9, 2009You're welcome Scott.
Let me add that due to this larger grid those 3:1 positions are obsolete as well. We use now usually 0.5:1 up to 1:1 and sometimes 2:1 or 3:1 in the lower parts of the grid. Hehe, more will come.

Xaron replied Sep 9, 2009The grid itself should be set that it covers support and resistance areas. But it should cover the vola as well. It doesn't make sense to place a grid by watching only 3-4 weeks on the hourly chart. That was one of the biggest misunderstood things ...

Xaron replied Sep 9, 2009Regarding the grid itself: In the book it was about 300-400 pips wide. That was during times where the Euro made about 40 pips average per day. Nowadays we use more a 700-800 pips grid due to the extreme volatility. Grids are always adjusted that ...

Xaron replied Sep 9, 2009My trading history — Right, so lets start some basic stuff. Maybe I should tell something about my past and repeat the way I trade before I go more in detail. My trading is based on BWILC (birds watching in lion country from Dirk du Toit). I ...

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009I don't know if it will go down. For me a correction in the stock markets is very likely and that will lead to some Dollar strength. I don't expect a crash...

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009Yes. It's a long learning. Just one example. I just went short in the Aussie and Euro and Long in the USD/CAD (you can follow this in my MT4Stats below). Both Euro and CAD are now at some resistances (in case of the CAD at support). This is all ...

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009No, no, no.
It's not that fix. Don't see it in $ but in number of pips. I have some smaller trades where I take profits around 30-60 pips and some trades where I take profits from 100-300 pips, preferred at supports/resistances. This "1% per ...Median Grid Trading

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009Right. The basic approach is to trade only the one direction. The more advanced makes use of hedging and trading both directions which makes sense as the market ranges a lot.

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009Good question. You have just your long term fundamentals which give you the directional long term bias and the short term impacts which give some ideas for the short term action. It's not that exact and needs some kind of experience.

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009I can imagine what you think. After reading this book the first time I asked myself, "ok, so where is the system?".

Xaron replied Sep 7, 2009I'll go in detail soon but if you want to keep your drawdown max at 10% you have to start counter measures (against the drawdown) if it reaches 5% by closing positions or hedging. I understand what you mean so your English can't be so bad.
