he got too greedy and did not follow his own rules. as I posted earlier his lot size is far too high and this time he went even higher saying A/U dropped so much, so I can trade even higher lot size. his distance to the next trade was not his usual ...

in my opinion trading like this is like being in a casino in Vegas........ you cannot have these big profits without very high risk. I wish everybody trading this system lots of luck.

Xandi mysterious Pyramid

hi xandi, I just made a quick calculation and your account certainly cannot handle a 500 pip price fall without a retrace. starting capital $ 3,000 - position size starting with 0.1 lot - average in every 100 pips 0.9200 0.1 lot down to 0.8700 = DD ...

Xandi mysterious Pyramid

xandi, looked at your last opened trades 0.3 lots @ 0.9186 and @ 0.9125 thought that it should have been 0.3 lot @ 0.9186 and 0.6 lot @ 0.9086? your leverage is high...... just suppose price carries on down from 0.9186 without any retrace. you ...

Building an equity millipede

exactly..... contrary to what Vee says, I got open buy AND sell trades in the same pair with IB with TP and SL. customer support did tell me that hedging is not allowed, but the reality is different. I can buy any number of units I want at IB, so no ...

Building an equity millipede

Vee, I know you are or were with IB as well and I have no problems having trades open long and short. Everyone of my trades is still open, because I always place them with a very high/low TP and a SL. My longs are say 150k trades and the shorts ...

Building an equity millipede

as a beginner you should concentrate on 1 pair, the weakest of them all. if you are stacking: always bring your last trade to BE before taking the next trade. then you`ll know that no matter what happens, only the last trade you are concentrating on ...

Building an equity millipede

diversification as a business man I look at long term profits and minimizing risk, not smoothing out my profits in the short term. after all I dont depend on income, but solid profits. E/U is in an uptrend and at 1.6400 I have 100 trades @ BE. the ...

Building an equity millipede

hi Jim, must have misunderstood your explanation in post 5 about trading size being dependent on prior result. about your results: I know you will have to have small trading size initially to be able to ride out your losses to BE. a realised profit ...

SAR system based on QQE Adv and MACD Platinum

hi Jim, somewhere you said that the size of the 1st trade of a pair is dependent on what happened with the last trade(s) for that pair. that means that those realised 1399 pips are not of the same $ value. for easier following, wouldn`t it be better ...

SAR system based on QQE Adv and MACD Platinum

hello buff, it seems that your indicators dont indicate a direction that well if you have to reverse your direction so many times to even get to BE. could it be that TF is too small or need a better confirmation that the direction has changed? if a ...

appreciate your thinking outside the box........but smart hedging, never seen anything like that. care to explain? when you get your direction right the first time, your position must be quite small. what is your trade size? 1:1 - 0.5:1

VEEFX, you mentioned the jpy pairs: look what happened to GBP/JPY after basing in 2001 until December. yep it shot up from 180 to 192 and......it came all the way back again to 180 in March 2002. so if I understand you, you get in at extremes with a ...

Building an equity millipede

you must be closing out the losing trades after the market moved quite a bit. the losses will be in the 100s of pips per trade in stead of a 30 pip SL on say E/U. plus there is never a guarantee that price will not come back to your entry price. I ...
