Seriously? So you know the difference in feel between pretend money and your own REAL money - yet you still test in a sand pit scenario? I think that's a big mistake. Just my take. Even if you scale right down to insignificant position size ...

Well, allowing for the possibility your intent is humorous, you're still confusing a sparing partner with a bar brawl - the two are very different. Or were you suggesting once you're trading live you'll still want/need to trade demo? If so, that's ...

Entry level not achieved. Momentum off. Trade off (both legs).

Last bar closed at 127.78 with a high at 127.78. Bracket Limit entry Buy moved to 127.79. Stop at 127.53

Made a high on the last bar of 127.75, but closed at 127.70 - 2 pips short of my 1st stage entry trigger.

A 50 pip range between my bracket orders which e/j has steadfastly refused to close outside of for the last 6 hours since setting it. Just touching top and bottom 4 times without the required break through. Uncanny.

Get out of your car. Walk round to the front of their car. Take a photo of them and their number plate. You won't be doing anything with it of course, but it does freak them out. Especially when you refuse to tell them why you've taken their ...

I can take a needlessly acerbic style in my stride if the logic and facts are correct and if the conversation is fun and rewarding. I understand where bulletin board brashness comes from and wouldn't wish to trample your sensitivities as that's ...

Gann, as with most of these time honoured and popular techniques need to be examined with extreme prejudice. Even many technical indicators are the result of work carried out decades ago when the markets were very different: in both constituent, ...

Not really. The Big Money will certainly be looking at fundamentals and taking a longer term view than non-institutional traders, but that's not to say that approach always beats technical trading - it's a non sequitur, like comparing apples with ...

DrManhatten, thank you for your interesting and extensive post. Some observations. When I suggest you come across as a patriot and a Trump supporter I mean no disrespect. Certainly not to the former and only with some fascination in the latter. But ...

I have a bracket order in to Buy at 127.72 and Sell at 127.55. I'm trading the 15M. If the Buy is triggered (close above and next bar extends upper range), I'll be looking to scale out at targets 128.04, 128.38 and 129.03 and if there is momentum ...

Demo accounts differ from real live trading in the same way punching a punch bag differs from punching someone in a fight. Skin in the game - makes all the difference.

Can you trade without a stop? No, you can't. Well, yes you can, but only until that one trade that takes you out of the game. Even if you had infinitely deep pockets, why would you stand idly by and just watch your money drain away? You're either ...

Having an arbitrary target is baggage you really don't need. You're not working for a corporate head of dept so you don't have to play that game. Some days are better than others, as are some weeks and months. Averages are meaningless. If you have a ...

Based on the numbers alone, you're right. But additional tariffs have little room for manoeuvre. Those currently imposed on China (and others) have been engineered to minimise impact on the average US citizen. Refrigerators in the US are now 17% ...

A trailing stop is rarely an optimum exit method as it takes no account of degrees of volatility and is set to an arbitrary delta to current price. If you weren't in a position to manage a trade you could just about warrant its use, but if you're ...

It's a low energy pair today and given the time of day unlikely to make much of a break. Even if it succeeds in pushing through the current HOD at 90 it's still got the 3300 level to contend with and the daily R3 just 15 pips above that. Not a lot ...

I understand most brokers determine profitability of account by assessing closing balance of previous quarter not being greater than closing balance of current. Even dormant accounts will satisfy this criteria for 'profitability'. Additionally, the ...

If you have a trading system that provides you an 80% win rate and your average win is greater than your average loss (which I suggest it should be), take care in attempting to finesse it to 85%, not to throw the baby out with the bath water. If you ...
