I'd like to point out that a $1000 investment in the pyramid on 11/28/06 would be worth $18,000 today (3 weeks, not too shabby.) This does not include interest gained. I am not advocating that anyone use my strategy, but it begs the question.... how ...

First, I appreciate the disciplined approach Galvaston uses. Was the 1000+ pips unusual because of trending markets? Galvaston, how long have you been doing this and what have your successes and failures been? I'd like to see large images of setups ...

$80 not $800 — Instead of being in with $1000, you could be in with $100. Max risk=$80. That Q1 trade would have turned $100 into $100,000. Not bad. Anyway, I agree with SunTrader, Nader, etc. that the LIKELYHOOD of a trade like this is very ...

Have you considered exiting half of your winning trade prior to news?

Fundamentals keep screwing my purely Technical strategy

Barakah, Please PM me with exact details of your idea. Explain it to me as if I were a child. Thanks, Tom

First, I found this site offering excellent fundamentals on NZD: http://www.beehive.govt.nz/ Second, I built a system around the NZD/JPY. It needs some work. If you trade this pair, please check my system out, hyperlinked on my signature. Tom

Look at the chart. The goal is to keep the trade alive and continue the compounding process. All we really care about is how far the price moves. For example, the 6 level move before the collapse in Q3.... how can we keep the trade alive after the ...

Trojan Warfare — The more I think about the pyramid, the more I want to cheat and try to send 5K across 5 levels (the blue dots in the graph).... At 5 levels, I would close 1K and open the same number of contracts in the opposite direction. If ...

Thanks for the response. What trading is not gambling? I think trading the news with a straddle is the only sure way to catch a move, which is often not possible. That being said, I don't believe in charting, Elliott Wave, etc. Why? Economics move ...

I'm just not getting it. If I have $2000 and am trading $1/per pip, then a 1000 pip loss would put me at $1000. ('50% of my account') So I get a 10000 pip gain ($10000) that puts me at $12000. I then suffer a 1000 pip loss to put me at $11000. Is ...

Alan, Good points. Let's look at the facts... trading FTP this year (since Jan 1) would have yielded 14,000 pips to date. That's pretty darned impressive. They were trading in the EUR/USD rectangle pattern this past two weeks that resulted in a ...

They don't disclose their trading methodology for generating their signals. They claim their signals are generating from 20+ TA indicators. The point is to find value in the multiplexor money management strategy. I'm not advocating their signal ...

The Multiplexor disclosed: — You would trade multiples of 3 contracts (3 or 6 or 9, etc...) The first contract exits after 50 pip target hit... The second contract after 100 pip target hit... The third after a REVERSAL signal issued.... this ...

How did you know what currencies to hedge? Is there documentation for this strategy? And what do you mean 'it's only a demo' ... is this a signal services you subscribed to? Thanks.

Hedge strategy (not a hedge fund)

I think it's a good time to bring up money management. 300+ pip drawdowns can be lessened with a 50 pip stopout. Personally I believe that moving multiple contracts in and out of trades is the best way to make huge profits. I use a strategy called ...
