Yawn, you still don't get it. I am convinced you never will. The end!

You are still alive? Ok, I'll fix that right now. At least for this thread.

Don't play games with demo accounts

Wondering if someone can help me out here as to what I am doing wrong or maybe what I am trying to do is not the right style for me. I am struggling with making and stacking entries. How in the world are some of you guys (including Graeme of course) ...

Building an equity millipede

Clearly this thread is divolving into the usual noise. If you want to listen to Ashraf then listen. If not then don't. Once again, analysts are not automatically traders. It's different. There are lots of very good analysts out there who have jobs ...

Ashraf Laidi "calls"

I haven't tested this but I would suggest one very simple filter to increase probability. Only buy when the daily bar is above it's open and only sell when it is below. That's it. Sounds too simple but usually the simpler ideas are the best. Daily ...

Mr Blobby V2 Super Simple 1m strategy

The idea is that you are stacking postions so % bet can and should be small IMHO. You can bet 0.5% (what I do) on each bet but as you stack and move SL to BE your r:r goes up considerably compared to someone who bets 2% on individual trades a few ...

Building an equity millipede

People have tried this. It's like a perpetual motion machine. You can convince yourself it works but of course it is impossible. Only a trendy market would have a chance of this working and even then your draw down would be pretty significant IMHO.

Building an equity millipede

Read the first page (carefully) of this thread. The buy/sell positions are not taken simultaneously. They are taken day/weeks or possibly even months apart when there are signs of 'possible' trend change. The market ultimately decides who survives ...

Building an equity millipede

Sigh, there are a lot of outstanding analysts that are not good traders. It's a different skill set. I follow Ashraf and take what he says very seriously.

Ashraf Laidi "calls"

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. I am saying you need to take out a second mortgage, cash in your life savings. Lay it all on the line. Then just sort of see what happens because now you have nothing to lose. And if it doesn't work out you can ...

Hi Graeme, If you have time I hope you can answer a question. What is your take on the market right now? It seems to me a lot of pairs have been going sideways lately and/or may be reversing trend. Just about all 12 of the majors actually. Do you ...

Building an equity millipede

It's dead simple. Nothing extraordinary about it. Right now if you average in short positions on e/u, g/u and make a promise to your self that you will not close them, no matter what, for at least a month or two, you can probably make the same going ...

Hi Graeme, Thanks for todays details on your entries. Looks like some good advice.

What a constructive contribution to the thread. Tell me more?

Sigh......never mind. Best of luck with whatever it is your doing.

Ha.....tell that to all the people that made a ton of money on demo then went and blew their wad trading for real.

Don't play games with demo accounts

You had me at "learn for myself". Then you went and blew it on your last sentence. Hey, in keeping with your first thought, I guess some people think demo works for them. For me it's a complete waste of time. To each his own. Here is another piece ...

Don't play games with demo accounts

Yea you are right. To add insult to injury I lost over 100pips today. I'm only up about 1200 pips on g/u and a measly 1000 on e/u. I wish it was a demo account so I could learn to take it more seriously before risking all that real money. So what ...

Don't play games with demo accounts

Once again, I don't disagree with what you are saying (as long as you stay away from the doctor analogy). I don't think you understand what I am saying. You are talking about High School. I am assuming we are finished high school and ready to enter ...

If you are able to convince yourself that demo is real and that blowing your account means you have to sell your car (or whatever) then that is quite impressive.
