I will add my two cents on randomness..... I have created a very profitable system that I post live trades on my journal. 12,000+ pips on the EURUSD since 2001 after spreads and closed bar analysis. No losing years.... yada yada yada..... Here's the ...

Poll: Is successful trading more dependent on skill than luck?

You can pay to have a company reverse engineer the EA... I forgot the name of the company but I'm sure you can Google it. My concern is the entries on the backtest. Are they making decisions based on closed bars? Do they match the forward test? If ...

Any idea how well funded they are? I won't put real money with a broker unless I feel secure with them. Does anyone know how to find out their operating capital, earnings, etc? Thanks.

"curve fitting" or just improving??

Eh-hem... Anti-hedging is gambling under another name. Suppose you follow the instructions and -BLOOP- the market reverses again after your second trade. You stand to re-enter repeatedly, hitting stops time and time again. In fact, the market may ...

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

Just another thread about nothing. You have the same probability calling a pullback right as you do a divergence. It's just describing the same canundrum that we all face: there is no easy way to make money with forex.

Which is more profitable: Trend or Divergence trading?

A lot of good backtests are impossible. I started a thread about these here: url Not all good backtested EAs are crap though.

Would you draw down 300 pips to get 150? — I've revised the idea. You just open a single lot at every new 50 pip threshhold.... there is no scaling up. Red dots are shorts, green are long. The TP here is 150 pips (you net 122 after spreads, 14 ...

The unrealized profit must be 150 pips cumulative of all open positions. Not 150 pips away from the first entry.
