"Other prop firms" isn’t quite right: Darwinex isn’t actually a prop firm (as its CEO has explained, right here at FF). You’re far from alone, there: almost nobody does. It’s staggeringly, unbelievably, ridiculously complicated. That must cost them ...

Prop Firm Hub 2.0

If that. Many pro-traders (I know you’re one, too) would put it as low as 5%. But you and I both know that you’re never going to convince most people posting in trading forums of that: to many, an “entry-method” is a “trading system,” period. More ...

Ichimoku

That sounds like almost a certainty? It’s important to appreciate that what FTMO calls a "$10k account" is actually a $1k account in the sense that it’s all gone and lost if you’re $1k down, and to allow for that reality in your position-sizing. The ...

This is true, but it’s also true that he doesn’t specify what he does need to line up with what. Absolutely no impoliteness intended at all, but the entry signal remains undefined, here, you know?

My scalping strategy using EMA's

I hear you, but we’re only talking about $1.25 per tick, here: how much accuracy do you need?! I would just work it out roughly and round it down to the nearest whole number of microlots (i.e. 1 or 2). I’d never do that, myself. The chart, surely, ...

1 contract of the e-mini S&P is $50 per point ($12.50 per tick), not $5 per point. You're thinking of the e-micro, perhaps? The starting point, with a prop firm "$50,000" account, is to understand clearly that the actual account size is $2,000 or ...

Prop Firm Hub 2.0

There are so many parts that I don't quite know! But I think a very important part is having enough understanding of math/stats to understand how to prove, for yourself, with a high degree of confidence, whether or not your trading method has a ...

Yes, I agree. I'm not saying entries are worthless. I’m just saying that they’re one part (and IMHO not the most important one at all). Some people think they're the only part!

144 ema method

Thanks very much! That does all make sense to me. I'm too new to be allowed to click the "like" thing, but thank you anyway, and I've "subscribed" to you. Edit: apparently I can now click the "like" thing. That's cool!

I think by far the single commonest reason for people trading with anxiety is that deep down, they know that they don’t really understand how to prove, for themselves, with a high degree of confidence, whether or not their trading method has a ...

Managing anxiety

That must depend on your win-rate and profit factor, surely? If you have a system with a win-rate of 30%, where the losers each cost 15 pips but the winners each bring in 55 pips, you wouldn't want to "not trade that day", would you? It's just an ...

Money Management secrets

From reading the thread, I think I understand how you keep passing them and making profits from them (it’s by having a sound method and applying it consistently, with the occasional well-judged gambling shot thrown in for good measure, right?). What ...

This seems to be exactly right. I think there's no such thing as a robust MA crossover method, and there can't really be, by definition. This seems to be what the independent, objective published research on the subject says, too. Of course, any ...
