I ask due to the fact that you trade with more important money & it could be interesting for some brokers now to start wrongdoings.
I put out my money (part of the profits) off and on and trade on different accounts & at different brokers and/or by splitting the accounts.

I used to trade a 30k$ account with Pepperstone, never had any issues.

I cannot take this anymore, not because the price is dropping not because of the negative comments But because of my MT4 keep freezing tonight, which i cannot trade like this the problem is my network is fine, just my network on MT4 is dead which is quite annoying especially when i could not seal the profit of my shorts and as soon as i took the pic below, the MT4 reconnected and i found the price had already break 1238.9 lol disconnect with the server for like 5mins is totally unacceptable and i can tell you that i am really mad right now, and...
hi 90sTrader,

It's not easy to get positions out under this situation. Unstable connection is super annoying, but it do happens that servers lost connections.
.DXY is now irrationally high, making all the things red including equities indices, bonds and energies futures.

I believe you did the right thing, hope you can get it recovered soon.

Thank you for your info and all the best,
D

want to clean the crap out of mt4, so it flies.........?

these huge files are the biggest problem.

delete them at the end of each week.

especially the 1 and 5 min chart history

the mt4 user guide does not mention anything on this topic.




find the mt4 folder on what ever drive you are using.......

just want to say
i think i am not going to write that "essay" tonight, probably i will do it this weekend
and i will try to not enter any trades this week
i can still feel my anger from inside because of that stupid disconnection
and with this feeling, i know i am not going to trade well

but no worries my friends, i am fine
and i am fine with the decisions i had made too
even i suffer from the short positions i made, but i think i made the right decision as the price did went down, the problem is i cannot close and seal the profits
and more important is i think those sword lines still works well

last but not least
i want to share a song that always gives me power and motivation

let me know how it goes, its a big coincidence that I remembered this when I saw you complaining about mt4 playing up. then when I located the thread the post was from it ended up being a discussion about pepperstone so I think it should do you some justice! the man knows what hes talking about that's one thing I can vouch for. hes provided statements in the millions+ to some people on fxgears hes no joke lol

Psychology is a really big part of trading and it takes a strong mind to overcome the pressure.
Anyways, been monitoring this thread and you're really doing a good job! There's no perfect trader, so just keep it up and be consistent.

No need to change anything...Well maybe your broker? Since you only gave them $3k and now trying to withdraw $60k doesn't seem fair to them?
I do hope no one from peppertone is calling you and telling you to hold your withdrawals with silly reasons.

It's much wiser to allocate your funds with several brokers instead of just one, don't put all your eggs in one basket. You can just use a copy trading EA that executes your trades to several platform.

Or maybe it's just your internet, so what I suggest is to get 2 different internet providers.

Just chill and try some nice music while trading.
Trading is not for everyone.

Well look at the big picture here, you strarted with 3k have 90k left and banked 60k, when you keep trading with one direction bias and high leverage, its only a matter of time til things go a bit wrong, but you suvived with plenty left so over all its still good, your dream is not dead yet

don't give up. Stop trading for a day and clear your head. You still have 90k left which is a lot. Dont go burn all of your account in one bad day.

Many of us are looking at this thread with much inspiration. Keep up the good job!

I hate it also when that happens. That could happen to anyone.
I have implement some safeguards for minimize bigger losses.
The important attitude for me is the statement similar like #454 where ikouki has described so perfectly.
"It's much wiser to allocate your funds with several brokers instead of just one, don't put all your eggs in one basket".
I would transfer 75% of the profit now and continue to trade with the rest (25%) on and on.
Sh*t happens!
...& clarify the disconnection with pepperstone!...& in case of doubt change the broker & let the door shut.
Chin up!

do you really need all your trading profit's available?

maybe a weekly trading amount

maybe a monthly trading amount

just enough to cover your trading costs and margin

and always have the 'full trading amount' accessible i.e. not invested into anything

trade well
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

Very interesting , I never new mt4 required maintenance in deleting log files to maintain performance .
With the loss connection issue , i solved this problem in my system by using pending orders. The error handling also picks up broker intervention , another dirty trick deleting pending orders. I warned my last broker but not this one . it is set up as close down the broker bait .

once again, thanks for all of yours support here and in the private msg.
this is why i like this forum
I didn't trade today, but i am happy to see those sword lines in this current still work well

i also come up with the idea below
(BUT i have to say i am never good at Elliott wave)

i think the RED 3 4 fit more than the BLUE 3 4 5 for those rules
but under the circumstances now, i cannot imagine what can lead to a strong buying force on GOLD
or lead to a weak USD
i am interested in yours opinions

EDIT: but the retrace on wave 4 in RED seems too much, and it cannot be overlapping the wave 1 according to the rules
