Hi there Barbossa, May I suggest that rather than just test it across a couple of months (especially consecutive months), it needs to be tested across a variety of conditions - such as various volatility regimes and various degrees of trend (and ...

Hi there, I had asked about exactly what you wrote above some months ago and it was met with some criticism from a few posters as well as Dongsky himself. I agree with you, it is more useful a learning tool to see how the trade is managed when the ...

Hiya Chips I appreciate the stimulating discussion and sharing from your posts. This is a fair point IF you are taking a profit on days like today. If not though, then those small drops in a bucket do add up and can easily pull a method into a ...

I sure did....and of course I exited near'ish to the HOD. One more level of rescue would have saved the trade, but it was already past 4am my local time and my brain power could not concentrate anymore so I took the loss on L4 Rescue and realized my ...

You 4 are doing spectacular indeed Those 2 at the top must be buddies or something and trade the same approach because their stats are virtually identical and have been throughout the entire competition. Keep it up guys and enjoy ...

It took me 6 years of full-time trading to finally realize and accept the simple fact of what dongsky just said. This is all there is to it. It takes practice. Well said dongsky! All my best, MK

Hi there, This is due to some great (sarcasm) US regulation that was recently brought about. My brokers do the same thing (Oanda US division and Interactive Brokers). The only solution is to use a non-US broker. Oanda's Singapore division do not ...

Hey mr. dongsky, I was curious how you sized the scaling down - I assume you meant that some entries were closed at a loss. With thanks in advance, MK

I've been with them since 2004 so I'm fairly familiar with them. All of your questions about margin requirements and how their FX product IDEALPRO works with regards to minimums are on their website. My only gripe with them is their customer service ...

U.S. margin, leverage w/ IB

Don't be a jerk, I NEVER SUGGESTED GRAEME WAS A LIAR! Again it was an honest question. If you could make 240 pips a week on average - that wouldn't be good enough for you? Just because you choose to blatantly accept what someone says without ...

My post was not derailing, it was an attempt to balance the posts in this thread so future readers see an honest picture of it. Yeah you can make lots and lots of pips when the market does strong multi-day runs but you are still going to rack up a ...

Fully agreed Alexander, well said. Participation is one of the main points of this approach. All my best, MK

The funniest thing about this thread is how after every strong run of a few days or a week or two that a currency pair will make, someone will post what an amazing approach this is and how thankful they are to Graeme. Why don't we see those same ...

Yes, pretty relentless decline past 2 days to finish up what I felt was a pretty strange week overall.... All my best, MK

Hiya cprao, I hear ya on this short...With regards to identifying S/R, I've always been a highs and lows type of guy. Then one day I read some stuff by Jaroo (sorry if his name isn't exact, it is something similar though) in the J16 thread and he ...

Wiz, How can it be hard to explain when you previously made it sound like it should be very obvious with regards to your chf/jpy post......
