first trade of the week, lets see how that goes: euro long

Thanks for popping in, Lubo! I'll try to answer your questions but let me know if it's still unclear. I'm not that great at explaining things. My (absolute) initial risk when I enter a trade is $1. I aim to reduce my stops by 40% (on average) once I ...

Thanks for dropping by fsatrader. To answer your questions first: 1. I don't use a fixed amount of pips for my stops. Generally, I place it a fair big before the swing highs/lows. I enter with momentum and my ideal scenario is a trade just following ...

Thanks for popping in, mashfx. Check out this pic: The stop loss you proposed, on the left grid, would require my trade to move in my favor a lot more to be in line with my average risk profile. i've tried to explain this at the start of this ...

Merka, here's an example ref the trade management Entry: 1736.8 with a full R (absolute) in risk. The left side r2r grid shows my absolute return and risk. My reduced risk over 50 trades on average is -0.6R (absolute). The right hand grid shows my ...

Ok lol. Was just wondering if it was possible nowadays to parse the futures volume into your CFD platform but it doesn't appear so.

Both. Is there a Eurex or CME integration of them with your CFD platform of choice?
