I suppose the interest swap will very much depend on your broker giving you a fair deal. which broker would give you the most interest?

Let's talk carry trading...

Billyjoe, I noticed you go on and on about increasing R/R and lowering the stop loss.........there`s nothing wrong with that, but several people like Yen already made an attempt to lower the SL to 40-50 pips and that will increase the R/R. So why ...

Pharoah, back in full force I notice, but dont forget the balance did you test the ROI on the worst ranging years since 2000 and if so what are the numbers year by year? thanks

4H Banker Buster

good on ya, you sound a lot better already.......... I would say that family comes first. then if you want to make REGULAR money trading forex, I really think you are spending those many many hours on the wrong system. you yourself pointed out I ...

4H Banker Buster

Pharoah, sorry to see you go. from your words I get the feeling that your life was completely out of balance and that you probably spent far too much time on FF and got exhausted of it all. have a break, find the balance and come back......... take ...

o.k. guys, I`m leaving forex altogether to get back to trading stocks only. I believe there are better systems out there for a regular paycheck than this system. look at the 2-3 ranging years and you see what I mean. if I would trade forex, I would ...

that would have been a loss for this week, because it gapped down, you would`ve gone short and from there it went up almost immediately. most times the gap will close and another way of doing it is to let price come back into the box and place your ...

4H Box Breakout

hello guys, just a few thoughts if yous dont mind. I`m having a bit of a problem with this system: dont get me wrong, when the volatility is there its great. there is a professional trader who trades IB`s for the last 6 years and his average win ...

4H Box Breakout

ah, I understand that you include the spread within the +/- 50 pips of the close....... good luck

4H Box Breakout

I`m not using 1st 4H close +/- 50 pips, but on my chart the close is 143.53 and the highest/lowest price since then are 143.94/143.06 so I dont see a trade on my chart. Your prices must be different.

sorry Pharoah. I must come over too strong and I apologize for that. I actually made an error in post 4554 and that`s how I led you astray with the money management thingy. sorry

4H Box Breakout

sorry, dont think I understand what you`re saying here. I`m not talking about the wisdom of taking 1 or multiple postitions if that is what you meant. I`m only talking about how to report profits regardless if you have 1 or more positions on or the ...

4H Box Breakout

don`t think it matters what percentage you put on each trade. trader 1 puts on 2% and takes profit @ +265 and his profit is +265 pips trader 2 puts on 4% and takes profit @ +265 and his profit is +265 pips as well on his trade but if trader 2 puts ...

4H Box Breakout

this is not a guessing game........sorry

4H Box Breakout

I`m just wondering something about your way of posting your winning pips........ Somebody might enter with 1 position, risking 2% and closing at +265 pips. You might enter 2 positions, risking 1% each, closing 1 @ +100 pips and the other @ +265 ...

4H Box Breakout

oh thanks Pharoah........ I dont know how you would do the backtesting of the initial lock-in profit, but personally I would go like this: I would write down all pips from my entry price. say week 29 March, entry price say 140.64, went to 144.21, ...

4H Box Breakout

like your style Yen.......a bit of a joker but also prepared to put the hard yards in.

4H Box Breakout

partly, see post 4484

4H Box Breakout

dont think you can avoid that altogether apart from maybe settling for a lower TP if proven more profitable overall and locking in a certain amount of pips profit if price is going in the right direction. the exact timing/pips amount to be confirmed ...

4H Box Breakout

This is a good question: are there any people out there who take the second trade and are overall profitable with the second trade? If yes, could you provide some numbers and the week in which the trade was taken? if nobody replies, we might lay the ...
