hi Dave, to minimise the swap you could trade the swap positive pairs buy U/J, U/CH and sell E/U; the negative swap pairs buy N/U, G/U and sell U/C....dont know what Oanda would charge for all that.....

hi Dave, for hedging purposes you buy or sell the six pairs, but I`m sure that is what you meant....

from Tom`s website I understand that only the initial trade is according to the 4-bar fractal........all the scaling-in trades after that are 75 pips apart.....the trailing stop is moved up/down as the trend progresses and is 75 pips away if a new ...

always trying to learn something new.....In the chart you posted, where would you place the stops for the initial trade and all the other trades following the trend down? Trailing stop for trades well into profit or just @ BE? thanks Erebus and a ...

Erebus has some good pointers......1. if there are no new lows or new highs, you will miss a fast moving train north or south... 2. 1 pip above a candle for entry is too little....your trade will be triggered by the ask while the bid is still under ...

dont think there`s anything wrong with your position sizing of your closed trades........profit has not been calculated properly in trade explorer, unless its a cent account......

I`m not going into how to trade this much.....most of you are just readers and not traders....certainly not profitable traders....so I wont waste my time... but for the few who really want to learn, go to "Grid trading system, keeping DD to a ...

the return is very low......why??? like I said in post 126, you`re all concentrating on a few pairs, whether they are trending or not......so the profits are good when its trending, losses when price is not going anywhere....what is so difficult to ...

hi people, buy the highs - sell the lows at certain intervals.= a directional grid sorry, but you all look in the wrong places......it is very profitable, BUT you got to trade the right instruments which are trending like crazy......unfortunately ...

winning..........

hey gerval....genasea and I have a discussion about these very topics in "Grid trading system, keeping DD to a minimum"....hope you get something out of it

I`m all in favour of a simple system like this one presented by Mr. Proc......probably it can be improved upon here and there......personally I would not take all confirmed breakouts........if yesterday closed near the top of the candle, I doubt I ...

to get a lower DD, there is no need to go through long tests etc........you only need to lower your load and voila, lower DD and a better ROI than 150%......suppose you trade 0.04 lot per trade: to lower DD you start trading 0.03 lots ...

hi Mr. Liang, you are right, account risk control never takes place when account_risk=1.0.... this means at this setting, you are risking your whole account.......

what a bummer I`m not allowed to write about my favourite gridding system lol...... what I do have is a brilliant idea.....suppose you get to 8k, you take out 3k and you leave 5k.....its still not very nice to lose that kind of money is ...

I`m not an EA type of guy, but maybe it is possible to run another EA just for directional gridding?

too lazy to look it up......just curious, so what did Livermore say exactly?

with a trending grid you can make at least 100% a year and have a low DD at the same time.....not like a ranging grid, adding to losers and one day losing your account and having sleepless nights!.........I gave an example how I trade in "Grid ...
