The REAL Traders Video Journal, 3-5% per month as a US trader

OK, I'll take you seriously. First of all, it depends on how good and consistent a trader you are. To make a $100 a day, it would require you to make 2% a day (very difficult unless 100% of your trades are correct). Even if you risked 2% a trade and ...

Numbers-wise, what's needed to make $100/day with $5K account?

Interesting discussion. A couple of years ago a member of FF addressed this question with a very convincing argument for daytrading over long term trading. I'll see if I can find it. One issue is Risk management. If you stick with the adage that you ...

Day trading Vs Longer term holding FX

Samer, I don't know how you ever made a trade. I agree 100% with Dukas and Profitfarmer. I have three brokerage accounts - all with different leverages. I can place the same one lot order with each of them and they all turn out the same. You have a ...

Ivanyo: Maybe you were on to something with HA candles. Use HA and just do the reverse of the system - You would have 10 winners in a row!!!

1 trade per week system (Backtesting included)

Why are you using HA candles? Very different with standard candles!!!

Well thought out thread, and nice approach. Slight error on post #3 which labels last low as LL and it should be HL. Question: Is the E line always horizontal? I will be interested in how you pull everything together. I did some experimenting with ...

The SETUP and the Chuvashova Fork

Looks very interesting. In the detail appendix of the PDF it shows a return of approx 5% total in 3 years, which is only about 1.6% a year. Am I reading this correctly? Still I think it is worth following up, maybe with shorter time frames. Have you ...

Detecting Fake Price Movements - Convergence Divergence Indicator

Are you talking about forward testing, because if you are, one week is hardly enough time to get any reliable results. And what about trading methods which require the total of the traders knowledge to implement.

MT4 Trading without GAP and without Excel

Hmmmm. I've been trying to figure out a helpful way of replying to this thread, because I was where you are now five years ago. I would say that all the well meaning comments above are probably valid, but I am sure that you are aware of most of the ...

5 years and still no strategy

Very valid point. I have always maintained that pips should not be the measure of a trade. The important thing is the percentage or dollars gained or lost. If you keep the risk constant (e.g. 1 or 2%), it doesn't matter whether you have a 5 pip or ...

Obsolete and inefficient concepts which we take for granted

To go against AiWoz above, I think that % of profitable trades is useful since it gives you an idea of how successful you have been in identifying trades with positive outcomes. Yes, I know that some traders maintain that you can be profitable with ...

Percentage vs. Pips per Trade vs. Pips per Day/Hour!

I think everyone is off track here. Pips on their own are meaningless. e.g. 1. 10 pips (SL & TP) is the same as !00 pips (SL & TP) if the risk is kept the same. The only thing that matters is % gain or dollar gain. 2. I often see traders here ...
