Hmm... but it may take years until a trade reaches a tp then. Let's take the EUR/USD, if you were long around 1.60... I'll doubt we see that level again so soon.

Has anyone tried doubling their winnings each trade?

Almost, yes. But looking at august/september this year this just happened. I assume that you enter new trades even though there are old "danglers" for that kind of style? Or do you wait for every trade to close before a new one?

Interesting Tjpld! What timeframes did you use?

Has anyone tried doubling their winnings each trade?

It's funny, I've thought about this yesterday evening. @permanentjaun: That's an interesting link but a slightly different approach. The problem is that the probability for beeing right 10 times is not that high. Let's assume a winning ...

Not true. A wrong spike was reverted. Would you complain if this trade had been reverted if you had stopped out there?

I think you need a mix of both to survive.

Fundamental VS technical

Yes, but in the demo account you have no sliippage and instant fills, no requotes... All those nice things you'll have in a live account.

Will my scalping EA survive live?

No necessarily. If you trade with a leverage of 1:1 you can wait forever. But waiting forever isn't such a smart idea. I don't use stops and trade with up to 5:1 using multiple entries. I don't care about 200, 300, 400 pips more or less...

Where do you set you're stop loss?

I rarely use hard stops, only mental ones. Using low leverage there is no need for stops for me. Stops are useful for some kind of strategies, but they should never set as a fixed pips value but always in relation to volatility.

But the EU had a surplus not a huge deficit. And that is a very important difference. Actually I wouldn't say that the EU banks are in a far worse shape, that's simply not true.

Selling USD and YEN is a no brainer.

No they don't pay any interest on the fund in the account.

That's a common misbelief btw.

And that's indeed a good sign! Alpari isn't one of the scammers who have fixed spreads all the time. During high volatility and low liquidity the spreads are wider than normal.

Another possible broker would be Saxo. I have instant fills there as well and almost no requotes.

The Fastest Broker? (no Requoting, No Delay)

You might want to read this and rethink about this "worthy" dollar: From the day of its founding in 1913, the Fed's assets - the foundation capital of the U.S. banking system - grew, reaching $1 trillion on the 24th of September, 2008. But ...

Instant fills, no requotes: Oanda.

They funded my losses due to their server down back to my account. So they did really a rollback. That's good.

OANDA Discussion

I'm very upset as well - and I'm a fanboy. BUT: Oanda will honor all sl and tp orders as usual. But overall Oanda doesn't look that good the last days...

birdt is right. 60% winning rate with 1:1 doesn't mean that there couldn't come a "20 losses in a streak event".

Too good to be true?
