Correct, if only the world was full of statistical certainties, that would be great. Unfortunately those 3, 4, 5 etc lossers in a row could happen tomorrow or in 10 years - but as the great traders we are, we have all obviously accounted for the ...

Correct FX-Junior, but majority of traders would have psychological issues trading 10% of their account which would effect their ability to trade their strategy - this would then cause their Stats to go from 80 to 90% down to maybe 70% and also they ...

Seems like a lot of logical good info has been aired. I went through all kinds of complex ways to figure out what was best - and you know what it has all transpired to be? I simply trade 0.1 Lots per 10K account balance - this way it makes it dead ...

Mark, I base my answer on the common mistakes people make, their strategy could in their own eyes be a great one simply because they have won 20 times straight- but you can't do that. Any and all ways everyone trades is based on concepts seen to ...

Markmm, It is very much a statistics excercise. You need to have recorded an adequate history in your strategy before you can be comfortable with your risk. There are other more complex things to also consider with regard to the statistical ...

I didn't actually post my stats, I was just giving an example out of thin air to try to make a point. I prefer to trade in a very relaxed way, choose my direction in the morning and go for some big points with not much hassle in between. As a result ...

I find this question a little irrelevant to be quite honest. The risk you use should be defined by your success rate and the potential drawdown based on past history of your trades. The answers you receive on this post are fairly meaningless without ...

Thanks Fugly, I find a lot of traders just get really down and eventually give up, keep at it and you will succeed. You don't need to be that intelligent to do this, you just need to keep at it and learn by your mistakes - infact, some of the most ...

You can freely find EA's to manage your trade, but you still need to tell it what to do. Telling it what to do is dependent on the style of trading that you are using. There was one EA I came across which you could set to scaleout at pre-defined ...

Trading with EA's is possible, but you need to know what you are doing. You can't just set an EA going and just leave the thing to make you money - it will not work. You need to give the EA the benefit of your brain, allow it to trade when the ...

An interesting topic, I have seen the glitzy advertising on all these new robots claiming ludicrous results which are generally as a result of curve fit over optimized algorythms. I always keep my mind open to new stuff, but when I see the same ...

Hope to all — It is certainly possible to make money in FX, maybe many years ago when I was still trying to get where I am today I was in the same spot as many people reading this thread, thanks to threads like this I kept going and eventually ...
