not having a fixed stop loss // adding to a loosing trade // averaging in short/long on a way up/down // hedging with opposite orders - all are loosing strategies and will lead to eventual blow up of the account. Mean-reversion strategies will eventually lead to a blow up of the account. Read up on LTCM - they thought they were smart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-T...tal_Management
I have a fixed stop loss; as explained in my previous post

shorting the Dow / US30...
I also happen to trade stocks and options in US equities. Do you how many top callers went BK this year alone? so are you a top caller then? This keeps running (9 years a decent track record) you are going out of business. Good risk/reward.

no you don't have a fixed stop loss - i.e. feel free to post your exact entry and stop without %, let's see your entry and fixed stop, is that so hard?
Then we can figure out whether or not you have any risk management (at least 1:2 risk reward).

Nope I am not a top caller - that's a mugs game - I trade a reversion back to untested breakout levels and book profits each year doing so...My drawdown has not exceeded 11% in the past two years and I have not blown my account.

Your trading bias is long - good for you enjoy the ride..mine is to trade a reversion back lower - which will be met and I'm trading accordingly.

I have no 'hate' towards anyone who may be long enjoying profits right now - that's because I am a mature man and am trading my plan - not a kid.

If my stop loss is 6% then it is fixed - what part of that isn't clear.

Oh, I really don't need you to 'figure out' anything for me - I have that in hand myself.

Goodbye and Have a Happy New Year.

Fixed stop losses = death by a thousand cuts.

FXClarity don't take any offence. Point is that this kind of strategy won't work for most traders in here (day traders here mostly). If this works for you just keep doing whatever makes you happy. Have a nice day!

just on a side note

mean-reversion strategies tend to work best on sideways markets ie no big strong trends

but suffer a lot in strong trending markets

not criticizing FXClarity here , just saying that if that's good for him , i'm glad for him too , but i personally would not be seeking mean reversions at this stage imho

{quote} Different strokes for different folk..I trade a reversion strategy that serves me well and have posted many trades in ForexFactory..where targets are met time after time. (By coincidence this time last year I was selling USD/JPY and people thought me mad..they didn't when the price dropped several hundred pips over in Q1) Trading a reversion strategy demands patience, discipline and clear money management rules. I am happily scaling sell orders into this and my target remains just under 1.16780 (chart below)...This target will be met and...
Hi FX Clarity

I use a similar trading strategy when I am trading with multiple entry's.
To make this work for me, I trade with two separate accounts or you may say a Kedging Account ( Not Hedging ).
I currently have 5 trades opened selling on AUDJPY, my main account is in the red about 950 pips ( that's a lot of margin ).
My Kedging account is Buying with currently around 4 trades in a basket and up around the same amount of pips.

Therefore I have little risk and a lot to gain from this trade. We need to use smart money management between two accounts if wish to survive in this wild forex world. My current Forex account B ( i have 5 MT4 accounts ) is up 100% since beginning of December.

Final note. Nothing I post here or in TMS is nothing but honest, I hate fake traders.
