Japan will need to borrow a ton of money. They will do this by issuing bonds. These bonds will compete with other counties needing to issue bonds. So, they will pay a higher rate to attract buyers. The outlook for the yen on a longer term basis will ...

scaling for profit — Thanks for this suggestion. The trailing risk strategy is a very good idea. In demo trading, I have watched trades up $ 1200.00 drop to $ 100.00 or less winners on several occasions. If you trade 1 standard lot, can you ...

Probably saying the same thing in different ways — This is a very good point. And an easy trap to fall into. I agree with you. I am simply experimenting with the money management side of the equation. If we agree that someone has a system and ...

This is exactly the issue that I am exploring now. You see, I don't think the point is to trade. The point is to make a profit. I think keeping the "monetary exposure small" harms your returns. Of course the obvious answer of betting it all on one ...

Adjusting the lot size for trade conditions — Based on comments and a couple of links from Hanover, I am experimenting with adjusted lot sizes based on the conditions of my trades. First, I determine if my trade is a trend or a counter–trend ...

helpful link — I found this calculator to be very helpful: http://www.earnforex.com/position-size-calculator Now I can easily adjust the lot size up or down for trend / counter trend trading and for the Risk:Reward ratio.

I found this to be exactly the case for me. New to Forex, I got a system up and running and became bored waiting for the correct setup. I jumped the gun and got bounced for a loss quickly. So I settled on 5 pairs, two groups using the same ...

Looking for the pullback? — So the idea is to follow the trend. The Big # 3 marks the major trend direction. For example, #3 at the top = an upward trend. Then wait for the # 2 pullback, which will be below the # 3 as noted in an upward trend. ...

Good Point! — Thanks for your input lananpips, So let's discuss the current charts. Here is the USD/JPY D1 Chart. Do I consider the trend up as notated with the big #3? And therefore, buying the USD/JPY is trading with the trend?? On the ...

So what pairs to trade? — I would like to trade three (3) pairs. I would prefer that they be major pairs. And I would like them to be as un-correlated as reasonably possible. I have at least some very basic fundamental familiarity with the ...

Settled on the settings...Now for some fun — Ok...I think we have settled on our chart settings. The demo account size is $ 25,000.00 Leverage is 50:1 but should not be a factor for this trial. Since it is a Demo account, I want to experiment ...

No trades yet — Hi lananpips, I did not put any trades on yet. I am using the H1 and H4 TF's only as a "get ready" signal. This let's me think about stop-loss position, lot size and take profit levels. What do you think about the fib pivot ...

10080 or 1440 for D1 Time frame — Thank you ans, This is where I have struggled. Take a look at the two charts, both set for daily TF. When I set the period to 10080, I end up with charts that "blow through" the supports or resistance levels. ...

Ok...I think this is more like it. — Fib Pivots Input settings: pivots = Should be False camarilla = Should be True midpivots = False MyPeriod = Should be 1440 Let me know if this works better for you
