{quote} well i seek investors who gives me full discretion, otherwise, no business. so yea i appreciate you posting the criterias, but that sort of investor doesnt insterest me one bit. Conservative and FX trading just doesnt make much sense to me.... given the fact that only wayt to make a decent return is through leveraged trading and that my friend is already Non-Conservative....

So, in short a real, proper investor calls you out on how awful your trading is and of course, you don't want him anymore....


Getting enough noobies interested in your swindle as an investor with some serious money isn't interested in 17yr olds with a horrible track record?


How are you doing on your 50% DD on your "real" account???? Such a shame you deleted your screenshot from the other tread, not really conducive to getting clients/subscriptions I guess, don't want the hanger-ons to know that you don't know what you are doing.
A contrarian; I always disagree.

First of all, i did not delete no screenshots, its been removed by admin.
Second of all the 50% DD is no longer DD but a realized profit. and yes the EURUSD short from 1.09 did hit TP at 1.0780
have a nice day.

{quote} If anything, having leverage is an advantage, me personally I don't use any Stop loss on my trades but because I only use 1% on each trade for my Leverage available... say I have 1:400, each trade I only trade at lot sizes which only holds 1:4 of my leverage. this allows me enough capacity to trade my way out in case my first trade is in drawdown. and me personally being a consistent trader would get you out of any troubles. as long as you got a good money management and a good understanding of fundamental trading. just have a look at my...

It depends on the trading style.

To a techy trader - a losing position is one that breaches their technical setup
and they can no longer justify holding it.

To a fundy trader - a losing position is not 'lost' but simply in drawdown
(because price doesn't always go straight toward the profit target).
They can justify holding the position because they are confident where the price must eventually go
due to the fundamental economics.

E.g. for at least the last year, there is no way that the EU economy can 'suddenly' become stronger than the US economy especially when one is always alluding to 'easing' and the other 'tightening'.
As such, a -500 pip DD to a fundamental trader isn't a concern if they know where the currency bias
must go in the end. As long as you have low leverage, large margins and good money management
there isn't an issue with longer term trading.

It's just horses for courses - you trade whichever method gives you the most confidence & success.

I position trade as well but with a kill switch and it has been very rewarding. GU +2600 pips drop from July 2014- April 2015. It is all about making pips with risk parameters that you are comfortable with and gives you the chance to fight another day. Happy Pip Hunting.

I was just showing a drop of +2600 pips and that is why I use a kill switch. I didn't take that trade.

Most of the people who post charts like yours, NEVER take the trade. It is so easy to show something AFTER it happens, but almost no one holds for even 1/10th of the actual move!

That is very true but I think you may have missed the point of why I posted that chart. Some traders trade without a SL and some with a SL. The chart that I posted was to illustrate the following: " Market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Happy Pipping.

When a genuine, intelligent trader can be found with a solid 2 year+ track record demonstrating the ability to maintain drawdown well below 10%, and preferably below 5%, while generating an annual return of 4-6X that maximum risk, then a real conversation can be had. It also needs to be scalable to be able to manage larger capital without undue spread-sensitivity.

There is no shortage of capital for such a trader.

{quote} that maybe it but for me, as long as my DD doesnt hit 100% my trades are still very well managable because of the available margin i got to trade my way back into profit, heck i ended up still being 100% win rate. though a lot of people are gona say thats not realistic and that it only needs 1 trade to wipe out the account given my style of not using Stop losses on trades. PS. Thx
i know this is a old thread but why did you start using a Stop losses
