Intrigued — Hello Sonic and Others, I read the first 17 pages of the thread and then jumped to the end and read about the last 15 pages. From what I gather, there weren't any changes to the system in the middle unread pages, but I just want to ...

SeerEye, Thanks so much for posting this. It is so typical in this business, but so many don't realize that the mental aspect of trading is probably more important than any System or MM plan. It seems that it should be soooo easy to stick to the ...

V3 Question — Does the new THV V3 represent only an improvement to the visual presentation of the indicators, or is there also a corresponding change to the rules to increase profitability?

MM is indeed a valid topic for everyone, but it is not the topic of this thread. We should probably end this discussion now before someone gets irritated with the off topic stuff.

No, definitely achievable. Most of the folks I have talked to who scalp using systems like this go for 20 to 50 pips per day, and just scale their positions as their confidence grows, not as their account grows.

The mental variables are indeed the problem. Imagine going from trading demo to immediately trading only 1 full lot. That's only a $200 risk per trade in your scenario. I guarantee that your trading would change, system or no system. And that is ...

Your math is indeed correct. But the practical aspects of trading make your assumptions perhaps invalid. First, with a 20 pip S/L and a 10 pip T/P target, that would give you a 2:1 risk reward ratio. That means you would have to "win" 3 out of 4 ...

V2.1 Entry — Question about the entry in 2.1 I watched the video and read all of the most recent posts, so I hope I didn't miss something obvious. Is the entry on the cross of the fast TRIX with the zero line or of the fast TRIX with the slow ...

Kind of quiet tonight. Anyone making any pips? I've only taken one trade and ended up -7 pips. I should have taken profit at +20 pips, but got greedy.

Scrutch, Hope you don't mind me asking, but do you trade for a living? If so, for how long? And what is your daily pip target? Doc

Yes, great trend. Lack of discipline got me shaken out for only 25 pips on the first move (should have been closer to 75). Got another 48 pips on the second wave. Made my pips for the day, so off to bed for me! Good luck everyone! Doc

Just do the math on that number . . . Let's assume you only take 3 trades per day, 2 winners, 1 loser; Let's further assume that you are risking 3% per trade with a 1:1 risk:reward; That means you would be earning 3% per day, 15% per week, 60% per ...

Never say "only" - if there is one thing that I have learned from the people who have traded for a living for a while (i.e. >10 yrs), it's that you're much better off taking a small win than letting it turn into a loser. So any amount on the + side ...

Me too! I took valid setups, but boy did I make some bad calls on the exits. Ended up even for the day (+1 for the day), but I'm pretty happy with that given the temperament of the market today!
