3 questions: 1. You say 1% max drawdown, so with a $190 starting capital that would mean $1.90 max drawdown - not even 20 pips on .01 trade. Is this correct? And what happens then? 2. Why would you need such a high leverage if max drawdown is 1% ? ...

tradista quote: I do think that less-aggressive and more people-loving persons have the same right be sucessful at trading as well, and not jocked upon just because they don't see or refer to it as a battlefield... trading might simply be an ...

Great description of your trading approach. I admire your patience and confidence in placing and exiting trades. My approach is quite different, but I am still having some success. Sometime I will do a live stream journal.

In the set file you have trading times of 15:00 - 9:00. I assume this is broker time. With my broker that means that it shuts down at the European open. Is that correct? I just noticed that Trade time is set to false, so please ignore this post ...

video Hilmy, have you ever tried arbitrage sports betting?

I hope your recovery is almost complete. Personally, I've been through a heart attack (15 years ago) and prostate cancer (7 years ago) . Healthy now, but trading sucked when I was recovering from those. Fortunately I live in Canada, so there was no ...

Great video Hilmy !!!

I'm doing OK with futures, although it has taken some getting used to. I am doing more on YM than NQ since I am primarily a pattern trader and patterns seem to be more distinct on YM. I'll put the last 2 days patterns below (2 - 100 tick moves). I ...

Your thread is a refreshing, transparent change to the usual on FF. I am one of the many silent followers here. I have never felt that you were boasting or in any way stroking your ego. You have admirably accomplished what you set out to do. Your ...

What do you mean? I use Ninja Trader with GFF broker and it's pretty obvious to me that I am using a live account. Even if you use the "sim" option, the order screen changes color. The control panel and the order screen also give the account name. I ...

Very interesting thread. You mention Ultimate oscillator as a divergence indicator. I used to have this in my collection, but it seems to have disappeared. Would any oscillator work? Can this be applied to lower time frames? This seems to be related ...

Thanks for starting this thread. I believe that there may be quite a few futures traders (me included) quietly trading and following Hilmy and others. I also use NT and I think we should "suggest" to them that they should create a P&L box like in ...

Good analysis. It should be helpful to many.

It's OK here.

There is something not quite right with your math: 0.5% of 10,000 is 50 not 500

Hi Hilmy and Vee, Thanks to Hilmy I have also started trading NQ - no you can't take my money. I have found that putting up a 500 tick chart next to the 5 min chart helps during high volatility times for scalping. Attached are the 2 charts for the ...

Hi Hilmy, I had the live stream on for the whole 4 hours and followed along watching the NAS 100 CFD. It was pretty close with one major difference - the spread was 170 which was about the range of your trades. lol. I admire your patience and I ...
