{quote} A day ago I have found out the best TF to trade is M15. I do trade it as it is H4. On full automation I do not dare to trade anything below H4. It is too hectic. But M15 as H4 is simply a killer. For me. I do not use SL ever. I flip. Never in use of multipliers as well. Open one basket of 0.01 lots. Then a new one, then another one, ext. Bringing them all together into just one trade that grows with each new basket added. Averaging the PL. Personally, never seen anything better than averaging the PL. Averaging is The King for me. Just looking...
Thanks MoneyZilla, this is great .. still trying to understand the whole. Good idea by doing basket trading, and you are right, we need Money Management (small lots) on each order to avoid big DD (trying not to be greedy). Right or wrong is another thing as long as we follow our own rule, but as human we some Times (or often ?) make mistakes, will try to make it better and better... Like driving a car, we must always looking at the traffic sign first, so we know exactly when we must make a "perfect turn" to the left or right, by using slower speed, after we know the distance\ to the curve of the road, before we make that turn ... right ?

Greed is good. Impatience is bad. Don't confuse them; they are very different monsters. Stay calm and cool.

This tread looks like dead to me. I give it no more than a month or two, probably.

Will only be passing by to share my monthly results.

If the tread goes dead, even better for me, will not even have to pass by.

Posting here, so you know I am limiting my posting activities here.

For the curious ones, I have written 7 ebooks, and they all available at my other tread Trading (e)Books by MoneyZilla.

MZ, I continue to follow this thread but just for the purpose to update my performance every end of quarter. As alphadude says, would be interesting to know the participants in the contest at this time. Since we're running for cutting the finish line at the end of 2018 I don't see this thread as a "discussion" one.

For me, April'18 is kind of over.
This is my absolute peak, I feel it.

Can push it hard towards 40% monthly return zone,
but I will risk the whole 500k account balance...

DD -20k, profit +22k.
Not happy. Too high DD + I was lucky.

Next month I will try to lower the DD figures.
Lower profits are likely to come first.
Bigger profits can wait...

DD total control is more important than anything else for me...

I have no idea what was his method in details.
Exchanged only one PM with him.
But I like his idea about the 88 mil.

My style is very simple.
I use MAs and Zig Zags.
Create my own Zig Zags with MAs.
Tops/Bottoms, HHLLs as well.
Everything Zig Zags.
Simple folk here.
Nothing fancy.

Yes, that would be great. Please make it. Some of us are still here without a "busto". I am not doing so great because of a stupid mistake I made in march... took a short break and now slowly recovering.
Would be interesting to see the results 1/3 into 2018.

If you could take my advise?
Large ups and downs are not healthy.
Try to keep it low,
whatever that would mean for you?

Imagine a heavy faced coin?
70% heads up when tossed?
Can you guess it right?
Each time?
Most of the times?
No way?
Many fail, because of this.
70% is 70%.
70% is an edge.
Cannot be predicted acuratly.
Just an example...

Okay, this month is basically over. I made 0.1% this month and a total of 11.3% this year, however I'm currently sitting on a 6.5% drawdown. Nothing to worry about, that's just the way it goes. Hopefully next month I can get some more of them juicy $$$

Need to read up some more on them ebooks MZ

April is over; thankfully with positive results:

- Overall return 35.5% (year to date). Jan: 8%, Feb 16%, Mar 3%, Apr 4%
- Current drawdown 3%
- max drawdown 10%
- Over 3028 trades so far

My target is to make around 100% per year, which is about 8% monthly; with a max drawdown of 15%
