The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Valid points — That was my main issue when checking charts only a few weeks old. But as I went through more history, the "pattern recognizing" part of my brain started to mess up my judgement. Hence the need for mechanical testing ...

Risk/Reward Ratio and the power behind account growth

Of course. Frequency is the most significant IMO when it comes to account growth. The message I was trying to spread was that many people get discouraged even with good setups, because they can´t handle the frequent losses. However, if they did some ...

Risk/Reward Ratio and the power behind account growth

Just one additional note to readers of the above post. Watch out for the "composite time" issue (ie. when your "day" starts and ends). I wish all persistence in testing. It pays off Bluefish

The way I browse FF now is that I follow several threads, but also group of posters who managed to attract some high-quality brainstorming or dropped a hint or two now and then. I almost fainted when I saw post from PC. DIBS is one of the most ...

The question at hand is: would you trust with YOUR MONEY something OTHER PEOPLE post? Why don´t you do some system evaluation for Yourself? There ARE systems that are profitable and there are those, which aren´t. Amount of pips is irrelevant. I ...

Just to explain what I meant, since it looks like we misunderstood each other. With Oanda, if you are LONG x amount and you open SHORT in the same currencypair with y amount AND y > x, then you will end with 1 SHORT (y-x) amount. And one more ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Hi guys and girls! I was thinking about following thing: Oanda is one of the brokers I use. Suppose you are long x lots and reversal valid DIBS comes along. If you take it, your current long position will either reduce in size or reverse completely ...
