Unfortunatly we didn't pull enough for the Lotus Elise. The number was basically inline so usd/jpy wasn't going to spike. I did pull this beauty off though: image 15min USD/JPY - 9/1/06 (Singing)I fought the NFP and... I won.

Non-Farm Payrolls 1st of SEP

This is about the most convoluted thread I have read to date... Can a trader make 300% in a year? Yes, I have had two 300% MONTHS this year. (50:1, live, 5 figure account. To address that subject.) Can you do it as a neophyte trader? A snowball has ...

Profit 1% a day 300 % a year

If you insist... The general premise of TA is that all information is contained in the chart. This is of course technically true, but the unspoken secret is that it only tells you what has already happened. The coin toss experiment and a real market ...

Money Mangement, Do you take it serious?

I hear exactly what your saying, but you have to run the other side of the equation as well. How many of those 50 trades will be consecutive winners? Compound 15-25% on each trade then take the drawdown. Hell, go ahead and take it twice in 50 ...

Money Mangement, Do you take it serious?

I personally risk 12.5% of my account on every trade. BUT I have a 90% win rate on 30pip stop/35-50 pip take profit trades. I also only trade 3-5 times per month so I need returns. It's not the amount you risk, it's the overall expectency of the ...
