Hello pres78....yes indeedy, 2% does work well! My capital is a bit low, but *if* this continues to work as it has, things should be good... However, I'm wondering what will happen come summer and lower liquidity....it just seems a bit too ...

Thanks ChinaWombat....yes, I guess I do not need a trendline....the SMA 50, along with EMA 10 and 21, are actually some signals for scalping....I guess I'm used to seeing the markets through "those" glasses.....I'm still playing with the ...

I also caught it...on the 15 minute TF: image ....I'm only playing with 2% MM until I bolster my account...once I get up about 20%, I'll then try 5% MM (currently up 11%)... Regards, Jeff

Hello ChinaWombat....yeah, I like that simulator very much! LOL, I even posted it in this thread to show Paulus (post #139). Yes, if we trust the generator I totally agree with your assertion...however, if I'm correct here, based on Paulus' "flat ...

Hello everyone......back from a bit of vacation....55% is certainly workable with a "flat x%" style MM, but I hope the accuracy is at least 60%, and was really hoping Mark Crisp's number of 70% from 2002 (dealing with many different markets and ...

Hello ChinaWombat....thanks very much for your concern...I appreciate it! I prefer to test in "live" conditions, and I want to test in a way that is somewhat meaningful...my "side" account at OANDA is just a sub worth $10...which is now $10.47! ...

Hello tradestar1...yeah, you are right! Well, at least forex.com has better spreads on a few of the pairs...I wonder if a mini is their smallest size...even if it is, I can still make it work by only taking certain sized trades.....still, I do feel ...

Hello everyone...woke up a bit late, but still managed to catch the "big" one on the E/U that actually looks much better on the 15 minute chart, so lets call it that (and as of this writing is still in play): image (please ignore the second sell ...

...all right, OK, you got me here....one of my favorite movie soundtracks is Vangelis for Blade Runner: video ...of course, in going along with two of my previous choices, I tend to like the "out of tune-ness" of the piano.. OK, I had better stop ...

uups....looks like G/U dipped below point 1....E/U still in play....had a winner E/U and a loser A/U today, but I'm down about 1% because the A/U was a small one pip-wise (as mentioned before)... Jeff

One thing I am realizing right away with flat-style MM is that we want to have larger trades....on a roughly 16 pip 1-2-3 (like I have right now on the A/U), using the one pip past the SL rule results in an about a one percent difference (roughly a ...
