Dave, I've been reading your journal with great interest since stumbling upon it a couple of days ago. Thank you for sharing your analysis; it indeed is quite interesting. I'm still wrapping my head around some of the more elaborate posts of yours; ...

My multi-currency trade journal

I find this incredibly weird as well.

FXCM MT4 Good/Bad vs IBFX?

Hi Bilstein, This is more of a technical question. If your style of trading is multi-currency, how can you backtest your style with just one pair? Thank you and regards.

Trading Without a StopLoss

The reason I ask, systema, is that if you wait for closed candle color changes to open and close your trades, you will not be profitable. You can backtest this manually over a course of a year for different pairs to come to the same conclusion I ...

What do you define as "changed color"? If you do not wait for the candle to close you will have many false entries.

Awesome post my friend! Agreed, read just like a movie script. Many more pips to you my friend. Godspeed.

Bob, Your wisdom is much appreciated. I guess what I fail to understand is your strategy for closing toxic trades. There are plenty of great ways to make a profit without a stop loss. However, it's those trades that go sour and need to be closed ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Thank you for your helpful posts, Bilstein. One thing does come to mind. How then from an accounting perspective do you take into account taking profit?

Trading Without a StopLoss

That's fair. Apologies if I came off wrong. I'm very skeptical in nature. No offense meant. Hunches, feels and getting to know the market don't exist in my world. Only thing I am sure of is price will go up or down at any given time and I want to be ...

How can I get 99% of profit trades? this is my idea...

Unfortunately JacobFordFx, what you are describing is gambling. We are speculators, no if's, no magical buts, no magical fundamental news releases, no nothing. As retail traders we do not know where price is going. Price is random walk to us little ...

Ha. I really enjoyed this post yazzie. Not sure why, lol. Much continued success to you in the future.

95% traders go broke, only 5% survive

rcsltd, You are assuming a "fakie" means that the breakout will fail and retreat back into the CZ without hitting the other side. If this is the case why would you even open the short in the first place? You could very well not open anything and the ...

Nice posts Rap Skallion. Glad to see you're on your way back to breakeven after the mishap. The two extremes you mention lie on opposite ends of a very large playing field. Finding that middle ground is the arduous quest we are all on. Godspeed.

Xaphod, Thank you for all your work. You are much appreciated. Edit: Does anyone know how to get the SuperTrend candles to show up? I tried putting the indicator on the chart but nothing comes up. Also, any original documentation or a link to the ...

Hi Claudia, I hope this Sunday finds you well. I have to respectfully disagree. The past is absolutely no indication of the future. If one sees price as a Markov process then one cannot rely on historical data to predict the future price. The ...

Mobious, Here you can find the official Stair Steps thread. If you wish to participate in conversation regarding the actual method, that in my opinion would be the most appropriate place. If Fib levels help you to make SSBO more profitable more ...
