This is for sure a hard thread to follow and a difficult system to learn. Not only because one have to know Excel, VBA, mql coding and so on but also (mainly) because all the info is in so many different posts and even in several different threads, ...

Sounds good.

Ok, i see. That was not what was going on in the file i downloaded earlier but i guess that was some of the errors that was fixed at a later time. I did not look at all the later files. If all extra risk is only "playing with the houses money" as ...

I think you are both missing the point of what i am saying. My point is you can not really compare one MM where you are risking "only" 1% pr trade with another MM where you are risking far more on some trades. Max position size (risk) have to be the ...

That is my point. That is why it is hard (impossible?) to compare the two.
- Arctic4x replied Sep 18, 2015
What i am saying is that you are accepting FAR bigger risk (bigger lots/position size) in your MM and then you will make more money. If you trade "flat trading" with the same (far bigger) lot size the end result will look very different. If you ...

To compare the two systems is hard, maybe even impossible. But i guess the minimum we have to do is accept the same max risk in both systems. That means the same max % drawdown and the same max position size. If we do that i am not sure that the 3t ...

Thank you very much. I get it now. Then i have two questions to Matts Micro: With a drawdown like that it is clear that to trade this MM-system you will need a good winning trading system with a clear edge to get the drawdown to a tradeable size. ...

Thank you. But i am still not sure i understand 100%. You say min risk was $40? But if you start with $10 i guess the min risk is $10 or am i missing something? And when you say "worst losing" wold be -$420,000 that is the same as a drawdown in the ...

I am not sure what the numbers you posted say but what is also important is this: How big was the biggest position taken? How big was the drawdown? You know even a martingale system will make money in the long run but as we all know it is not ...

Most testing i have done myself, and also other peoples testing i have seen for most systems show that it is most profitable to not move the SL so you are probably correct about that. But most tests/systems also show that it is better to add to ...

Wrong. Something found in all trading platforms can and will help, but only if you use it.....

Thanks. I am a visual learner and also a slow learner so real examples of loosing trades in different market conditions would be appreciated. Like fast moving market against you..? Lets say you enter with no stop loss and your computer breaks down, ...

Hi. Thank you for sharing your way of trading. Would be nice if you bring real examples of loosing trades, and preferably in many different market conditions. Winning trades with a system like this is self explanatory so one example is enough but ...

I have read the thread. And i have also read many other forums and threads so i have seen people have come up with something they say is a "mental stop". And for some strange reason a lot of people seem to think that is a better stop. But i say a ...
- Arctic4x replied Oct 21, 2014
That does not really say much. If you do like the threadstarter and go for 3 - 4 pips pr trade that will be around 20 pips profit for the 6 winners and again if you do like him and have no SL the 2 loosingtrades can end up in margincall. But lets ...
- Arctic4x replied Oct 15, 2014
Well.... Again.. Like i told you, if you have a system with better than 50% hitrate and makes profit after spread then that is the reason you have profit in the end. Martingale will only make it FAR more risky to trade so you will be FAR better of ...

Hi Jaws. Listen to what FerruFx is telling you. It will not work. A endless number of traders and also gamblers have tested this before you, myself included. I did not use EA's for testing but i prefer Excel and the result is always the same. It do ...

I know. I am not asking what book this is. I am just telling you that you can get in trouble. For some reason it seems like you do not know or maybe you do not care.
