is there a formula to calculate. i dont have MT4 but use ninjatrader.

i am looking for some guidance in optimizing my strategy. what are the resouces that i can use to optimize my trading strategy. i am using Ninjatrader with IB

i did not know ninjatrader has a position sizer. never saw the feature.

try google and you will get lots of info. best way is to try the product and see it for yourself.

Ok. I use IB and it gave me options for the Forex Futures and they charge 2$ commission for it. How does options for Forex Spot lile EURUSD work? where can i find trade and commission info?

Thanks for the detailed explanation. couple of clarifications 1. how did you arrive at 1.2964 as the price that i would have paid for the futures contract 2. what book would you recommend on forex options?

the price that i paid was 0.1642 + 2$ commission. does it mean that i have the right to buy 1 futures contract @ 1.2800 even if it costs 1.400? and if it goes below 1.2800. i have just lost 0.1642?

I am focussed on futures options. what is the lot size that i have bought options for. the position shows 1 but i dont know how it is calculated for?

Thank you FXEz, If you look at the trades the first 2 executions resulted in a loss The other executions were profitable and i have been in middle of a trade with open position. So the only Realized PnL is based on the first 2 executions. Realized ...

3 trades on the 9 x 20 ema crossovers. 2 winners and 1 loser. i target 10 pips a day and so closed my trade for profits. url

At the current moment the ATR value is very low and very low volatility. I did however enter @ 20 ema and made a 5 pip gain. url The first rule of trading that i follow is that I am responsible for my gains or losses. I follow my 20/9 ema system ...

I am building a system exactly like yours and i do find that if you use a bigger timeframe like 9 ema cross 20 ema, its less choppy and better. I however trade breakouts after the crossover. send me a email @ junkone1 AT gmail.com and we can share ...

this issue is already there in your mbtrading forums. I had emailed to Jamie from your company with all the info that i have. I hope this is resolved quickly.
