I vote we delete FF and replace it with Hanover's post, its all you need to know.

Nice thread Nicholas. I've been trading like this for a while now and it works nicely. Everything you need to know is in that first post just think about it. However I think most people do not possess the psychological fortitude to follow such a ...

Those are words of a true trader. Farewell Feb.

yes well the swing trades you really only need to look at your screen every hour or 2 so its pretty laid back. I think its quite easy to pull 10% a month any only being "around" the computer for 6 hours a day (London session). That's with 10% being ...

yes well i suppose if you can make 100% a month with a 20k account and withdraw it then you are laughing. What I meant as far as scaling up goes was in the hundreds of thousands range. Making 5-10% a month on a 200K account is the same as making ...

Hey fool, Nice to see you are doing well. I see one flaw in your method however. The problem is that I'm not sure if it is scalable for 2 reasons: 1) Psychologically trading intensely with large amounts of money on the line would be extremely ...

I have been with go markets for a over a year. They are a reasonably new broker and had a lot of trouble to begin with, especially the first half of 09, but they have improved dramatically since then. They are definitely a high quality broker with ...

They are all equally useful and all equally useless. They are inventions of people trying to find a magic formula thinking that the more complicated they make it the closer they can get to profit.

ah I see, I interpreted the questions as ending up with -10 or less after 30 trials (>20 losses) not having a draw down of -10 within the 30 trials, that's tricky.

yea intu did it right its about I got about 0.027% chance after 10,000 iterations. Just do a montecarlo simulation in excel. If you want to get close to the exact answer just to a million iterations.

ah yes well i set it so u can show only long or only short entries, to show short just set the long box to "false". This way u can decide what the trend is using what ever method u want and then set it to show them in only one direction.

nice little method see attached for little indicator i made to help.

Yea well there is no volume, so what the point of trading a method that requires volume to work properly. I'm taking the next 2 weeks off, all the pro traders are on their skiing trips

interesting, i have had similar thoughts since i recently started trying some longer term stuff at the same time. I cant see the US loosening their monetary policy before the EU but again just like you its more of a guess. I just finished my civil ...

lol fool, my method is pretty much the same as yours it seems. however i cant handle such high risk of 0.2% a pip, i prefer 0.1% and a target of 40 pips. i watch with interest how u go in the future.

nice work, are u still taking small 3-5 pip winners or trying to hold for more?

hey fool, been following this for a while. nice to see you doing well. Im also on a path similar to yours, as far as i can tell the trading is easy, its all about mental state and discipline that can screw u up. I think the only way to gain this is ...

i highly recommend a 30 pip SL and exiting at daily pivot S+Rs.

legend jason, thanks

Hey jason, that's an awesome indicator, is it possible to add a specified SL, ie. if i like to use a 30 SL then can u make it to show that line within the box? that'd be great if u can and really speed up back testing.
