i chose binance to get into crypto cause of cubby. if my investments hit seven figs..i'll fly out and meet you personally..and treat you to a delicious... KFC dinner!
Haha! Nice!

Crypto will NEVER replace my forex trading but I do believe it can fund my forex accounts though. Hell, It's possible crypto trading could bring me WAY more profit in the next 1-2 years compared to forex but hey, I don't think it will stay a bull market forever. As long as it is, I'm in!

Hi Ryan !
First of all I appreciate your effort you put in here. It's very rare and shows that you are on the right track
to be independent soon. Maybe you have recognized the sharp decline in the CAD due to the speech of Trump
to leave the NAFTA agreement. I was invested in AUD/CAD, NZD/CAD and GBB/CAD because of the signals generated.
Unfortunately such unexpected events can have a negative influence due to higher leverage.
How would you deal with such a situation ?
Does it really make sense to trade 2 or 3 CAD based currencies simultaneously ?
I'm thinking only trading the EUR/GBP on 1h and the GBP/CAD on 30 min with half the risk of EUR/GBP.
It was your original selection of pairs you have chosen to trade.
Keep on with your good work and ignore the Nay sayers.

Hi Ryan !
It's good to see that you try to introduce cryptocurrencies. I like the way you are talking about them.
I just want to register on binance.com but unfortunately at the moment they don't accept new clients
due to a server overload.
Hope this issue will be cleared soon.
Hope to see your new video soon

Thanks for the message!

Yeah, saw that spike. It's all ok because my system was meant to be traded through all news. I'm not concerned about having 3 cad pairs trading at the same time as my risk management accommodates the 3 CAD pairs. I've done so much testing on these 3 pairs. They show the best results in the past. Past results do not guarantee future results but I did do over 10 years of backtesting on each pair with very positive results. I also have a one trade per candle rule that helps with market spikes. This is one reason why my strategy is able to trade through even the most volatile of news announcements. This includes brexit last year.

Yup, this is happening at most of the main crypto exchanges. Not enough good exchanges to accommodate the growing market. You might have better luck at the Kucoin exchange. They are legit. I like Binance's charts more but still a good alternative.

I like crypto's a lot and trying to ride the wave while it continues to grow.

Hi Ryan !
Thanks for the explanation.
I'm currently trading a 100.000 US$ demo account and entered the market with all 3 Pairs each with 10 US$/Pip.
Worst drawdown was around 3500 US$ with 4 trades open for each pair.
My loss was around 90 pips per pair for a total of 270 pips.
The loss settled down to around 1900 at the moment.
Hope to get out in profit tomorrow.
So what I see is sticking to the rules especially risk management.
Maybe you can discuss this topic in one of your next videos because its crucial !
Cheers

Ryan,

Thank you for all the helpful information you have shared in your journal. Not just the details of your strategy, but also for the tips on useful software and websites that you have mentioned. It took some time to get through 42 pages and all those videos, but it was worth it as I have learned something new every day.
Your generosity of spirit has already helped to improve my trading, and for that I cannot thank you enough.

Looking forward to the next instalment.
....Fiona

New update!

 

  1. What being in 12 trades looks like.
  2. Will I hit profit? Yes, at some point.
  3. Does this look really bad being in 12 trades like this? Yes, but it's not.
  4. Where and how the trades were taken. Where do I see them going?
  5. How and why sticking to the rules is important. Why is it sooo difficult?

Hi Ryan !
Did you ever try trading a higher time frame on your pairs ?
I'm trying to trade your system on the 4h chart at the moment.
What about the grid distance here ?
I started with a 50 pip grid.
Cheers

I know you are asking Ryan, but I for myself I did a optimization, and I found that 15 minute chart did well in a more trend atmosphere, and the 1hr and 30 minute did better in a more range. I crossed examined both markets. I use 30 min 22 grid .500 stop 55 tp. Risk 0.01 per trade on $5000. Since Sept I have a total of %10 draw down, with audcad, nzdcad, gbpcad, and eurgbp. Up %7 total.

Hi Ryan

I know I mentioned this to you in the past, with regards to my trading progress since I discovered your thread.

For others reading this post......After many years of trading (mostly demo) and blowing up numerous mini / micro accounts, I decided to open up another live account (small amount of funds) after demoing what you have presented in this thread.

My results are good IMHO, and Im proud to say that I am slowly becoming profitable. I am attaching my all time return for my live TE.

Why am I writing this post.....because I am grateful and I'd like to show my gratitude for helping me turn my trading around.

Many thanks
Ezzy

Thanks sooo much for this message!!

Its nice to here what I’m sharing is working for other people! I’ve always found that creating an “out side the box” way of trading was the way to go. So many traders view trading the same way which is why they struggle.

I hope to continue my video blog to help traders look at trading in a new way. I know I’ve come out with less videoes as of late because I’ve recently gotten into crypto trading. The reality is, my crypto trading is limited. My passion is forex trading and will always be.

I hope in future to talk more about the psychological challages when it comes to trading and developing trading systems.

Thanks again for your kind post!

Hey,
your profile says that you are in some GBPCAD sell trades right now, but in the video you were flat. Is this another account you trading?
https://www.forexfactory.com/cubbybgood#acct.87

Also, do you have a myfxbook link to your 117k acocunt or do you not want to share it publicly?
Thanks!

Ryan shares almost everything despite many others here.
Yes he trades different accounts and he has the links to these accounts as well.
Just wait for the videos because time to time he shows the performance of these accounts.

I watched the videos and I am asking because I never saw any link to this account. So I am just curious because I entered the same GBPCAD trades and wondering why he only opened them on one account and does not mention them.

So The GBPCAD trades were entered an hour or 2 after I posted the video update. What ever you see above in the tracker is in real time. The account above is my personal account. The $117k account is my buddy's account. I'm trading just 2 accounts right now. I share everything publicly! Nothing I do in trading is private.

Here is the $117k account. I changed over to fxstat from Myfxbook. http://www.fxstat.com/XYZ.JLDMEY
