Hey remonpilip! I've got your idea. You say that it is better to catch 1 good trade and gain 12%/year but not to try to gain 1%/month. But I can't agree. It seems to me it is magic, or luck. But there is no magic in the world. But math and physics ...

It just happened. The funniest thing that I'm algo guy, but this DD I made using manual trading. Shit happens. But anyway this happened. So its already recorded, calculated and now is the part of my trading history. I'd love to watch RickM trading ...

Hi there! If you are using multi mode you need to have dynamic lot size. For example 1 lot size for EU is 0.69 for GU and 0.32 for XAU. If you will use 1 for all you can face unusual margin taken and equity loss. Also the grid calculations must ...

If you trade with EA, then 1. You don't need to understand of your psyche 2. MM already built-in 3. PA, TA, structure etc are already here 4. 5. You can execute 1m or less. I'm just curious how in 2021 people still believe in manual trading.
