Hi ghous, one point I would like to highlight is that the Daily and H4 candles may be very different from a broker to an other as the day starts at different times depending on the broker. And as the close price plays a big role then it may affect ...

I have seen in this thread several time trading compared to blackjack or even coin flip but I think that if you want to compare to a game the best comparison is poker (maybe that's why fund managers are often good poker players). The reason being ...

Ok so if P1 is hit, SL is hit 30% What about if P2 is hit , SL is hit ?? % if P3 is hit , SL is hit ?? %

Even if this thread was started according to the usual model: - Person X says "this" doesn't work - Person Y says it works for me - Person X says it is because of luck or I don't believe you - they argue undefinitely... I wanted to provide some ...

I agree that double tops and double bottoms are good setups in general. About your strategy, to check if it is profitable to scale-in the entry compared to enter all at the first price, you need to only to take into account the RR but also the ...

Hanover's post is clearly of higher quality and understanding of trading than the first post. The comparaison with sport is I think is excellent. It is the repetition of the action in training that makes that you can repeat the same action under ...

No logan — I think that you can just remove the logan indicator and put instead a SMA 20 because the centerline of the logan is anyway a SMA20. And if I understand correctly your strategy the 2 other lines of the logan are not used, so we can ...

I don't think that your problem is there. It is normal that MT4 reloads the history on each run, but the history is the same. But anyway the same EA can give different results on the same history on different runs. And do you know why? It is because ...

I think that you have missed my point. My point is that FXCM gives an official explanation of the behavior of different types of brokers but that explanation is contradicted by facts. So I would be interested to know why FXCM gives such an ...

even if you cannot consider your money safe anywhere in this world, you shouldn't also consider that all is lost if the broker goes bankrupted. For instance in the FXLQ case people got back the total amount of the money.

Excuse me but this explanation doesn't stand one second because let's see the facts. So many MT4 brokers (who are clearly bucket shops) have "adjusted" (sic) their rates. So they are still no passing the orders but anyway take the interests on both ...

From what I see currently (it may change but it is the current status) some of the big names have left their swaps unchanged. IB (dixit Trader KBG) and Oanda still have normal rates. They are in my opinion 2 of the most reputable brokers in this ...

I think that is a good example of fraudulent rates mentioned by TraderKGB AUD/JPY -8.89 -4.22 EUR/JPY -17.91 -5.54 How come the swap is better on the side of the pair with the lower interest and horrible on the side of the pair with the highest ...

I think that what you get is totally logical. As you said your account is in pippetes, so 50 pippetes = 5 pips. Then it is normal that if Ask = = 1.4662 then SL = 1.4657 // TP = 1.4667 If you want 50 pips, put 500. And then it is probably normal ...

Instead of just complaining, show us the proof and publish here your minmax chart at the time the SL was executed. If you fail to do this simple thing, we will just believe that you have looked only into the standard chart and then you haven't taken ...

basics — maybe it's time to remind the basics reading this good post url Then I would be also very interested, as somebody else mentioned, to see the minmax chart at the time your SL was filled. I guess that if you accuse you have a proof to ...

The point is that it is absolutely possible to perform the calculation and put the trades with the accurate size.

That is wrong. For instance with Oanda you can put any lot size up to 1$ accuracy. And anyway the point here was to discuss how to make the calculation

Yes that is incorrect. If you have SELL 1/AUDUSD = 1.25lots BUY AUDJPY = 1 lot BUY USDJPY = 1 Lot you can see that for instance you sell 2 times JPY The key point is that the lot size is applicable to the first currency of the pair. So let's make ...

Sorry to be a bit off topic but I cannot this one let go like that (sorry hms for the disruption) Pips are not equal to percents except in some specific cases. There are interesting cases where you are positive in percent and negative in pips or ...
