Spider I see your point. You are looking at this system as a way implement a high interest carry system. I was looking at it from a $1000 to $1,000,000 sprint over 2 months or so. Level 6 was reached today on the NZD/JPY pair. $1000 invested on ...

I think Clam wants to know where the broker gets it's price feed from. Better yet, where does the quote provider get the quotes since there is no trading floor. My understanding is that there is an interbank market (a fully electronic trading system ...

Is there an official exchange rate?!

On the contrary. In a race to the finish line, which is what this is, 400:1 produces 4X more interest than 100:1. That's a pip a day. 100 days goes by, there's an extra 100 pips put into your account to pay for commission on the hedge or to get you ...

He CAN'T post it bigger.... 600 x 600 is the max size FF takes. What he COULD do is zip the fullsized jpegs or put bigger images in a Word document and upload that to FF.

From Post #668: I love this post because it begs the question: "Can I make as much money trading the EMA3 as I can with VP?"... Of course people who spent $1000s on this product are going to try to convince themselves that it works.... wouldn't you ...

Would you post a detailed plan of what you are considering? 1000 pip doomsday buffer, etc. We need details.... Everything needs to be thoroughly laid out to be assessed. Thanks.

I have a few thoughts. First, girdle, I can tell you have a high IQ. Would you be kind enough to review my pyramid strategy hyperlinked on my signature? Post comments on my thread for feasibility concerns, etc. Thanks. As for Napstex: Impressive ...

The Napster of Forex

My initial thought is that there will be no EA for this. You need 400:1 leverage to do this and the NZD/JPY pair. FXSol is the only broker I know that provides both of these, and they do not have an API or Metatrader interface. I do not want an EA ...

Are there any Hedge Fund owners here

Possible solution — The strategy in Post #1 is rigid. There is no room for error. The strategy in Post #8 gives leniency for 1 reversal beyond 100+ pips. That is unacceptable risk. So now, here is my first attempt at a complete solution. For ...

Dion's Pyramid

From Post #8, we are pyramiding up on each protective leg as price moves in our favor. After a 100+ stop and reverse, all remaining "protective" legs are stopped out because we were only protecting a single leg. It gets really expensive to protect ...

Dion's Pyramid

Suppose I take $700 and treat it like 7 $100 legs. After 1 level, I exit 4 legs. After 2 levels, I exit 2 legs. After 3 levels, I exit 1 leg. More money was invested in at least 1 leg being convered, while less went into 2 and 3. So now when I start ...

Yet another extreme idea — Well the ideas just keep coming. In this case, we are pyramiding up exactly as in Post #1 with one exception. For every contract we go long, we also go short. First trade: 83 short, 83 long.... second trade 66 short, ...
