I guess I should provide some thoughts on my trades today so far, which have been losers! Call it bad luck, I decide to double the money on my account and keep the R:R and the percentage VaR the same and I start with 3 losing trades! Looking at my ...

The psychologist's chair

I've experienced too many overly confident people like you that I'm familiar with their behaviour, where they think they can talk around the issue without using any facts to back up what they say. We recently have Bernie Madoff as an example. But ...

You're not competing for liquidity on a retail level. If you're trading more than 10 million units and taking away liquidity, then I'm impressed, but I'd want to see proof if you are going to make that claim.

20% per month. Is this possible?

You can always show your book as proof. This site allows you to show your book and it's easy. There is only one reason why you wouldn't want to be transparent.

20% per month. Is this possible?

I've opened FF's trade explorer on my account here, so you can have a look at my trades on my personal account. Just click on my name.

20% per month. Is this possible?

What standard of proof do you need that I know what I'm talking about? Bare in mind I will expect the same back in return as it would only be the professional thing to do.

20% per month. Is this possible?

This post is more to address the new people reading this thread and thinking it is easy, as some posters are making it out to be, to make money in FX. I'd strongly suggest, like me, you ask for proof of the claims some people make here, before you ...

20% per month. Is this possible?

Why don't you just show some proof that you know what you are talking about rather than using a confidence trick?

20% per month. Is this possible?

Given, you are making such claims, it would only be appropriate that you show proof. I've attached a picture as my proof that I know what I'm talking about. Now it's your turn.

20% per month. Is this possible?

I think you are missing the point. There will be losses. Being confident will not change the situation. A high probability trading method and you'll have enough set-ups during the month to hit 20%, including the losses? By the way, I was talking ...

20% per month. Is this possible?

Yes. Unfortunately, no one is going to hand it to you on a plate, so you'll need to look hard for any exploitable behaviour and be able to program and test it. Just Google 'Sergey Aleynikov' or 'Renaissance Technologies' and you'll see there are ...

Can be automated trading be profitable?

20% a month is possible, but consistently, no. The first thing that comes to mind is that you will get diminishing returns as you hit the maximum lot limit of your broker, unless you are able to find even more pips with your strategy. If you get to ...

20% per month. Is this possible?

Hi, I'm looking for an EA that will grow my account 1% a day with no losses. Can you build it for me please? Thanks in advance!

The zero's are not the casino's edge. Their edge is in the probability of them winning (and you losing). If we are looking at European roulette, there are 37 slots, and of those slots one is zero, so there are 18 red slots and 18 black slots. If you ...

if 99% fail why not reverse what we trade

If you have the discipline, then you can do this, but I'd like to see your average losses versus your average profits, to see what your risk:reward ratio is. Personally, I think it's easier to have everything defined, then there is less chance of ...

Risk Reward: 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3

I'd be interested to see how much real money you are using for this, as at best the risk:reward ratio is 2.5:1 (100/40), and in terms of money management, you're risking 25% of your account for a 10% gain. On a positive point, if you have maintained ...

Risk Reward: 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3

Just lost my 'spread-widening' virginity (about 3 hours ago), and put it down to bad luck, as the price level where I had my stop orders coincided with a medium level news announcement. The end result was I lost double of what I was expecting to ...

I think EUR breaks higher as I think NFP will come under expectations!

EURUSD

I'm hoping for a retracement back to the 0.89 level, where I will buy at limit of 0.8950, s/l at 0.8895, and t/p at 0.9250. I'm bullish on this pair because of the positive carry, the natural resources story and the China trade link, which will ...
