You are absolutely right! The most difficult thing about trading is to have the discipline and stick to your own trading plan. Don't be greedy and don't let your emotions make you do stupid trades when you have a few losses in a row and you want ...

Price went from 1.1 up to 1.75, so you plot a new X for each level that was hit: 1.70 X 1.60 X 1.50 X 1.40 X 1.30 X 1.20 X 1.10 X 1.8 was not hit, so we look if there was a reversal of at least 3 boxes. Price went down to 1.32. From 1.70 to 1.60 is ...

In your example screenshot, the second trade: I would prefer to put the SL 1 box above the last high, this is safer. But even in your example the SL was not hit. The stop would be set to 1.2080, but the market did not reach 1.2080 again. If it did, ...

Broker with most instruments
- pnf-trader replied Feb 4, 2010
I have talked to traders, that are using this broker. And those had huge account, 6 digits and more. So seems to be trustworthy. Just recently, they lowered the minimal lot size to 1.000 units - that's micro lots. Last time I visited their website, ...
Dukascopy

I think the biggest difference is, that Deutsche Bank (dbFX) is a bank and not a broker. I've talked to their online support and those people there really knew their business well. Deutsche Bank is Germanys biggest bank and I don't know if there was ...

- pnf-trader replied Jun 14, 2009
Not possible with MT4. You have to open a new order for each incremental lot. I know that Dukascopy offers this type of position handling. Every position of an instrument will be added/subtracted and the average price of all those positions will be ...
How to add lots to an existing order

Example: Capital: $10.000 Risk: 1% per trade, which equals $100 Currency pair is EURUSD, so 1.00 standard lot is $10 per pip. Your stop loss is 50, so if you want to risk $100, each pip may be worth $100 / 50 = $2. When 1.00 standard lots is woth ...
How Much Do You Risk Per Trade?
- pnf-trader replied Jun 11, 2009
In some kind, I agree with you. From a mathematical point of view, this makes sense. My success rate is about 75% and I have a risk:reward of 1:1.2 This works fine for me so far, and I am working on improving my risk/reward ratio. However, with ...
How Much Do You Risk Per Trade?
- pnf-trader replied Jun 11, 2009
10% risk per trade? In my eyes, this is very much. After one loss, 90% of your initial capital remains. When you have 6 losses in a row, you lost nearly half of your capital. I usualy risk 1-2% per trade. Maybe it would be a better idea to start ...

Because it doesn't work for you, does mean what? Nothing. P&F as is, is only a different type of chart. It's like as if you were saying "candlesticks don't work. Have tried it on 5min bars. Looks nice but it means nothing in real trading." - get the ...
