What do you think about this martingale strategy?

hi kilian. I think you did not get my example. if price comes back between 1.3085 and 1.3050 and you used quite a bit of margin, you can elect to take the loss, which would be on average 17.5 pips + spread on a 0.2 lot. not bad if your potential ...

What do you think about this martingale strategy?

[quote=Jure86;5376600]Not good idea I think because market is in range about 70% or somethink like that.[/quote/ yes maybe so but that is why we keep buying the same quantity after the initial order. price will have to go higher and/or lower that ...

Nb 10.0 range trading system

just the 1 account with IB am curious which pairs you will settle on............... why not try to have the 8 main currencies presented equally. so 4 or 8 pairs. in that way none is overpresented and causing major problems if 1 currency takes off.

Nb 10.0 range trading system

yep NB, that might be a more clever way to do it.......but anyway, in my opinion there is no rush to close out the hedge and take a 100 pip loss without trying for a better outcome I think. I leave the floor to the professionals

Nb 10.0 range trading system

censura, you hedge at -100 pips: what is the rush to close out these 2 trades - price might come back to -50 in a couple of days/weeks and you close out the trades without a loss. in the meantime your loss wont get any larger than -100 on the 2 ...

yes, you`re right......1.5% of $ 10,000 = $ 150 so with a 15 pip SL your position can be 100,000 ie a full lot. dont know if Grant`s is the better option; only the amount of profit will reveal the winner.
