I'm finding that MA crossovers as setups work really well on the 1 / 5 min charts during volatile trading conditions such as the London / NY sessions. As far as 1:3 RR - I don't like the idea of going for a strict RR each time, rather, I would ...

@ BillyTT I always enjoy a healthy debate and this time I was wrong. As for the E/U I definitely see what you mean. These forums can be toxic at times. Good thing I've been long and ignore the news / critics on FF.

Can' believe I'm saying this but... — I'm wrong. 1000 to 10K really is possible - just do the math. With the right system and the right mindset, you can net 10 pips a day (ON AVERAGE) and actually make it in the game. I now realize that ...

I have no doubt in my mind that some individuals make outrageous returns with their "edge". These individuals are elite and they know when to double or triple their position sizes when probabilities are in their favor. It's akin to counting cards ...

Another food for thought... I remember browsing through the FX Articles named The Power of Compounding Interest. I think if you take $ .01 and doubled it everyday for 30 days it would be the equivelant of 10 million dollars. Do the math. The formula ...

Thanks RB. You're very lucky. I'd love to meet him. Very insightful. For some reason, I'm drawn to the zenlike aura of Ed Seykota. His interviews are always enlightening. It used to seem crazy to me that anyone would trade strictly with technical ...

One more thing, Barbosa.... try a simple money management solution when doing a manual backtest without adding positions. for instance, say you have a $100,000 account and trade 5% or say 2 lots per trade no matter what. Do a backtest of the last 5 ...

Hey Barbosa, You're right. It would be fantastic if the method could tell you when to add to a winning position. Let me grab my crystal ball... Lol...I don't mean to be cynical but I think you're asking the wrong questions. Pyramiding is tricky and ...

I am far from a professional trader but I have spent the last year or so backtesting methods, losing money on my micro account, and jumping ship from method to method. (I.E. scalping, swing, to position trading). I have learned a lot from my ...

AHA! — I was freaked out at your posts when I read them the other day because I had the same "AHA" moment just a few hours prior. I felt like I was reading my own mind. I said to myself...damn man! I gotta let him know we're on the same page!! ...

My method is based on Larry Williams' idea of market structure in his book "Long term Secrets to Short Term Trading". Essentially all I do is enter when a short term high/low is broken and trail my stop or get out when a new short term high/low is ...
