DislikedYou guys who vouched him are the same losers in this business like him!!! I know how FF works, if u post alot of nonsense talking buy/sell eventually you get vouched in the long run! Someone who is wise enough will vouch on me on this post! I'm not being overlly pessimistic here but why alot of succeeded people there are talking about CUTTING YOUR LOSSES SHORT AND LETTING YOUR PROFITS RUN????
100% sure this fellow will end up in deep sh@t if he is after hipotetical results based on his BACK TEST. I've started my trading just like you thinking of...Ignored
DislikedHey Cubby,
I was as surprised as db777 that you took the trade. Close, but no cigar - yet! I do fear for your trade on this occasion taking into account S/R, price action etc., hopefully however it will work out for you.
Your system reminds me of laying horses at long odds i.e. winning when they lose. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, sooner or later a knackered old nag hasn't read the script. He/she/it thinks there's the world's biggest bag of oats waiting at the end of the course, or, someone wiped its behind with chilli peppers before the...Ignored
Dislikedyou may be right with this. Using less risk would make sense but I wanted to push the system to it's limits. I had some cash to through at it. I do have confidence in it. It could end up shooting me in the foot but hey. I'm well aware of this and knew it getting into it.
If this trade pulls out this will be my last trade at this high risk level. If this trade does not I will start over with some more cash at a lower risk level. I'm also looking into lowering the SL and letting the profits run more while trying to keep the win % close to what I...Ignored

DislikedJust tested your idea, ten losses this year alone! that's worse odds.Ignored
DislikedHey A49 - That's not fawning adulation!
Seriously though, I have been looking at this recently but not traded live. If there were just 10 losses were the rest winners?
Firstly, I wouldn't use such a big stoploss as Cubby and secondly what I've noticed is that price can reverse quite smartly if 10 pips are not achieved. An opportunity to take another trade in the opposite direction?
I thought it was food for thought and those so inclined, like you perhaps, could explore this further? Just think there's something to this.Ignored
DislikedSorry cub, bound to happen. Sincerely hope that was not really real money.Ignored
DislikedWell at least now that you have had the loss it should be quite a while till you experience another loss right?Ignored
DislikedWell, there it is guys! I got my loss!
Just one of those trades I still have another 25k to through at this thing. I will use less risk next time making some modifications as well.
Last time the system showed a loss was on 5/18 so it's been a while
Just one of those days I guess.
I knew what I was getting into here like I said before. It's a bit unfortunate that this trade was my last one before I broke down the risk.
Just bad luck I guess.
Well that will probably be it for this thread. I'm sure people will leave now. Thanks for...Ignored
