Understand. So you prefer the 3 months boosters over a non-expiring permanent allocation for your Darwin’s. Do you trade the same system with every of your Darwin’s accounts?

Good point. Yes, perhaps a 10% target would be more sensible. I'm now curious to see if I'll reach the minimum target this month. I currently need another 1.2%. I should be able to manage that. But yes, getting as much capital as possible with ...

Thanks for your explanation. I'll take a look at it as soon as I've finished the random based system. I'm guessing mid/late next week.

Okay. Yes, so daily payouts wouldn't be crucial for me as long as I get paid. I'm still wondering if there's no limit to the number of Darwins and, for example, Permanent Allocations one can have and whether one can then have the same system trade ...

I've now got this and will test it out as well. I've been waiting ages for my live account with NinjaTrader to be activated, but support seems to be having trouble getting it sorted and keeps asking me for more documents. I also have a live account ...

Good idea. I've always wanted to try pyramiding anyway. The problem I've had most often with it is that when doing it manually, I completely messed up adding at the right time. Managing stop-loss orders manually can also quickly become messy. The ...

Darwinex only pays out quarterly or monthly. So you would need at least 30 capital allocations, received on every day of the month?

Actually, I really don't enjoy trading manually anymore. For the reasons mentioned, I lack a truly clear plan and clear rules that I could follow, and so I feel like I'm just wasting more time unnecessarily than getting any closer to my goal of a ...

url I'm starting to think there's a lot of truth to it when you look at this forum and see how many young YOLO traders (allegedly) earn thousands of dollars a day with their "trading" but can't even write a sentence in clear English, while I'm ...

Trading for a living

Yes, that's right. I wasn't waiting for any confirmation here; instead, I immediately tried to sell aggressively at the supposed "top" (see the left side of my chart). I also didn't do a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis or anything like that. ...

Here's a manual gold trade I made where I tried to sell at a supposed "resistance level" using my fantastic chart reading skills. You can't mess this shit up anymore. Not even a stop loss. Currently down -$1200. Randomness + Risk/Money ...

Good morning everyone. We are now $299.37 in profit, and the system is not yet limited to running only during Nastaq's regular market hours. It ran all night. There have also been more than three consecutive losses (four). image

Trading for a living

Yes, good eye. Here's the full history. As I said, it's still a work in progress. A few orders were executed/closed with incorrect position sizes and stop-loss/take-profit distances. It also currently uses a stop loss of -20 points (-1R) instead of ...

I'm having some fun testing the strategy from Medici's PDF. I haven't implemented everything described in the PDF yet; I started running a test version 4 hours ago. So far, it's generated a profit of $119.75. What's still missing: - Percentage-based ...

That's absolutely correct. The best strategy is useless if you fail at disciplined execution, especially if coupled with poor risk/money management. If you don't have absolute self-control (I readily admit that this is the case for me), then in my ...
