So instead of the 10 accounts with $5000 each, why not do two accounts of $25,000 each, since it works half the time, you still lose the 25,000, and the other account grows, right? Wrong, because you don't have a large enough sample for it to be ...

Is the "system" part really so easy to come by?

Man, do I ever know that feeling! And soooo many times, the latter came just a matter of seconds after the first!

GRRRRRRRR I hate when that happens!!!! I wrote a nice, well-thought out post, submitted, and lost the whole *%&#$#&)_(&*^^$^%* thing because the "servers were busy". On a lot of sites you can hit "back" and get back all your text and try again. OK. ...

DX is definitely getting in earlier and catching some that are over by the time "our arrow" shows up. That "feel" he mentions is everything, regardless of method. I've had a few losing days. Back to 10 cents a pip for me! I'll get there.

It was fast because the alert line was already in there, it was commented out. But, when it came up, it looked crappy. This is better, get rid of the other or save over it. I didn't change the version number.

Try this — This should work fine. I haven't tested it but I didn't change anything, just added the alert.

DX, do you wait for the candle to close after the signal, or enter as soon as it crosses? Would you like to have the indicator modified so that it only gives the alert if price is on the right side of the 50 MA? Just give me the details of what you ...

From his picture, Chief looks a little young to be trading forex. But, start 'em young, I always say!

Sure Method = Real Money

Very good point, and a word to the wise. Although I have been on the phone with a friend, he had a live account, I had a demo with the same broker, we both used a straddle script and placed the same orders. The spread hit 30 or 40 for a millisecond ...

oooo Ouch. You are patient, I'll give you that. How'd you manage to do that? Did you maybe read "Bird Watching in Lion Country?" It's been awhile since I read that, but I believe his strategy would have put you exactly where you are right now. Trade ...

Can I expect EUR/GBP to go back down?

Maybe that'll teach him to use stop losses! We're only talking 80 pips to get him back in shape. He's waited this long.

Can I expect EUR/GBP to go back down?

Remember that in a ranging market, things usually work in reverse. Most of the advice that traders banter around applies to trending markets. Maybe that's why the majority of traders lose money, since the market ranges most of the time. This ...

Can I expect EUR/GBP to go back down?

How far does it need to go down?

Can I expect EUR/GBP to go back down?

It didn't move because the actual released number came out as forecast (as expected). Whatever is expected is usually already priced into the market, so if it comes out as expected, often there is no change. But if the number is different from ...

If your stop was at 47 it came close enough, within 5 pips! I took the same trade at 23:20 based on S/R bounces and 1H trendline. My stop was at 50 and price got down to 52. Whew. I barely made it but got 20 while I slept.... I think that is one of ...

I think you missed my point. The guy is apparently a new trader. He's got 11 posts. He doesn't know how big to trade starting off. He's looking for some basic guidelines. Posters come in and give him a lot of good data, but come on, folks! fourth: ...

Risk:Reward vs. 2%

IMHO, they don't sit and count up individual orders, but orders pile up at certain levels. Many of us put our stops around the same price points. If price heads toward a support, for example, big traders are able to spike it with a few big orders, ...
