Are your odds better than 50% win, 50% loss? With this setup, you will need to prove that. With spread and commission, I would guess you will need to be correct at least 55% of the time to see good money but that is really "off the top of my head" ...

What are the big Ideas in successful trading?

Watch out for the dreaded 90/90/90... 90% of retailers lose 90% of their money in 90 days. Heard that one on the Quora website. Also: in the beginning, just work on sticking to your guns and being consistent. I work on multiple systems at once so I ...

From $1000 to $50000 Journey

If you do not mind me asking, what percentage return a month do you usually hit on your EA's? If you do (and do not want to tell), then no worries.

What would you do with a working strategy, but need capital?

Also worth a look: 1.) Legally form your own LP or LLP where you do your own investment process "by the book" though with own capital. When you have a track record and a decent amount of own funds, approach a hedge fund owner and their General ...

What would you do with a working strategy, but need capital?

The formal structure for managing OPM that I have seen the most is this: LLC created and used as a general partner to an LP or LLP. The investors will come invest through the LP. Your salary is paid through the LLC General Partner management ...

What would you do with a working strategy, but need capital?

I'm not sure I understand: If you are using the limit version (GTLIMITEURUSD2.set.txt), isn't a big gap in the market to one way a bad thing for this system? I always turn most of mine off around now (7:30 AM here in Chicago) then turn it back on at ...

Is everyone here using v1.7? I noticed v1.8 has MaxProfitOrders in the settings and that is not in the settings file here: url For: GTLIMITEURUSD2.set.txt

Trapping System: Grid

Ok, here is my opinion. This is not a knock on you or anything that you posted so please do not be offended: I am SO SICK of academics claiming things like this. They usually always test data on a wider timeframe (daily) and they do "dumb" systems ...
