Aloha, keep us posted.

Is it luck or what...35 trades w/o losing?

This is a limitation of the MT4 strategy tester. Upgrading vHands can't change that. Remember strategy tester is for backtesting an automated strategy. Since you woudn't change timeframes while an EA is running, there's no need for that option ...

VHands Trading Simulator

I second fierceman's comments. I place stops and take profits according to S/R levels.

Intraday Trade Control

You guys are kidding, right? You really just want to brag and not sound like you're bragging, is that it? Let me get this straight, you are sad because you only made 300 pips on one trade, and 160 on another? If you're ...

Addicted to the trade

This is much the way I trade. I am much more consistent when I just take the profit and call it a day. Too many times that 150 goes back and stops you out for -90. The +60 turns into -95. Yes, you could have gotten 460. But would it have been worth ...

Addicted to the trade

Anyone remember the S&L "crisis"? When was that? 1988? I guess that must have caused that horrible depression known as the "The 90's" when the stock market crashed all the way from 3500 to 10,000....

Outlook 2008, The Upcoming US Depression

Bush did not invent the deficit economy or the fed. Loaning money to people who could not pay it back was pushed hard by the democrats. Greenspan (Clinton appointee) cut the rates and created the housing bubble, even though he wrote a book to assure ...

Outlook 2008, The Upcoming US Depression

In the log I enter p/l and pips for each trade, so that could easily be calculated.

Tracking and Recording Trades

For sure. I'll be getting real jumpy if I have 100 in the bag. Defensive.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Thanks for the welcome. I'm talking specifically about the one breaking down right now. First target is 9800. Excuse me if you've already discussed it, I only read back a couple pages.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Greetings — Hi Everyone! I'm new on this thread, so sorry if I'm not in sync with the way all of you trade. I took the fake long at 12 GMT today and got clobbered. Who likes the H&S on 1H / 4H?

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I keep 2 spreadsheets; One is a daily log that has time, pair, timeframe, long/short, reasons for entry, price, stop, target, exit plan, early exit, outcome, pips, p/l, lessons learned for every trade, and I've also taken to pasting a chart in that ...

Tracking and Recording Trades

He certainly has some good points. Can I change my vote? It's interesting that the poll choices are all short-term when the real reason is a system that was set up long before subprime or the war on terror. Even the candidate for "change" won't ...

IS the US in Recession and whos fault is that?

How long can it continue? If the workers are producing goods in exchange for money, fine. But you have these people taking all the money without producing goods -- there's an exchange problem. More money, no goods = inflation. How has our economy ...

IS the US in Recession and whos fault is that?

It's kinda like we (not royalty) are the cattle. We're working, sweating, and producing products and services in exchange for money, all with the dream of someday "getting ahead". They, (royalty - the ruling class and the rich) keep coming up with ...

IS the US in Recession and whos fault is that?

Now that's interesting. Only one way to find out. I would suggest starting small and growing it slowly. Stay in touch and keep us posted on how it goes.

Is it luck or what...35 trades w/o losing?

You need hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds to make a living, even in a good year when you manage to get 40%. So far this year, it ain't looking too good. In forex, you can make a good living with a 5-figure account, regardless of market ...

Why Forex (not funds)?

O K Cool But I Can't Trade Like Them Because I Don't Have As Much Money As They Do.

The Big Dog Trading Secret

I used to hate arrogant bastards that said things like this, but, here goes..... Why would you need an MA to tell you the trend? I doubt that the big dogs do, but I could be wrong, I don't know any big dogs.

The Big Dog Trading Secret

I had the disease, maybe not the same numbers, but close enough. I'm always amazed at the myriad of answers to a trading problem. It's actually simple. Given: You will have losing trades. Given: You will not know which ones will be the losers. ...
