On my platform it came within .5 pip of the sl and turned around for profit.

I have the ecn. The only negative is that you can't trade micro lots. I would like to trade micro lots when testing a new strategy but I'll just use a demo account.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Also the reason why Geoffrey62 and cgreys results are opposite could not be because of using a higher % risk I don't think. It has to be on some of the days cgrey took a full 2.5% loss when it hit his stop, ...

I have only had a live account with them about a week. I never had a problem on their demo either. I researched as many brokers as I could find and Finfx seemed like the best for me. If you live outside the US you might look into Inovatrade. They ...

I don't know why you can't connect. The only thing negative I have noticed was those spikes. Their customer service is great also. I did have a problem connecting once I got my live account setup. Is all I had to do was reinstall mt4 and no problems ...

I can connect. I looked and the spike is not showing on a 1m chart but it shows 3 on a 5m chart. Does your demo show it on a 5m chart?

I saw that spike on a live ecn account also. I haven't had time to ask them about it yet though.

Thanks for the feedback. One thing I'm not understanding is why you are doubling the spread? If the spread is .8 pips, and you open a trade and close it instantly. You will have a trade that is negative .8 pips plus whatever commission is if your ...

One more thing about mm. I am not going to open a separate account if I trade this system. I still haven't decided yay or nay on it. Since I would be using the same account that I am making other trades on, would you guys suggest going for a pip ...

Gotcha. I have also wondered about letting it run but you never know since its forex. I like the cut and dried make/break/or get out rules. For the guys that can backtest with an ea and not do it manually, have you tested what happens if you stay in ...

N It's no problem at all. You touched on a point about not giving anything back a couple posts back. How would you change your strategy if you traded this manually? Another note kinda off topic. I started trading live yesterday. I was up 80 pips and ...

Never mind cgrey you basically covered everything in your revised post. Thanks again.
- dirtytough replied Feb 25, 2011
I actually thought it was a good idea cgrey cause I don't even know how to use an ea in the first place. So learning to program one and put it to use would benefit me. But no worries I am sure if I want an ea for this I can learn how to program with ...

On my demo it was within about a pip of stopping out. It was still a loss though of about 6 pips at the close of the candle.

The main reason I would think about using the 10% +/- and restart rule is because I would feel like I am not staying consistent if I didn't make the trade everyday. Kinda like I was picking and choosing trades just because the calendar says its a ...

I am interested in this broker also. If anybody that has been trading with them live for awhile has any updates that would be appreciated.
- dirtytough replied Feb 15, 2011
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Like I said I read through some of your old journals. I noticed you used to have a really bad r/r on your system 1 trades. I used to think it didn't matter also but am learning that it does. Looks like you ...
- dirtytough replied Feb 15, 2011
Yep I thought of that also. And thought if a backtest shows it dd 5 pips 95% of the time before it go's positive it might be worth implementing. Probably wouldn't help though like you said. Not trying to change anybodies system, just throwing out an ...

Thanks for taking the time on this cgrey. I have learned a lot from this thread. I like your mm strategy that you use on this trade, and also your idea that you need to treat forex like a business. I read your old journals from the past and I ...
