{quote} Hm, from what I know, martingale is doubling up after a loss. Institutional trading is antimartingale with equity based risk.
i was going to say that myself,
But the use of the word martingale should be barred from this thread as it has no relevance.
Hope you know what i mean.

Banks brokers etc always vary lot size. same as what i did.
and yes i did have losers....

Same game on GU. It is sitting at the low of the day and dropping a bit ... but looks very strange.

Thank you SB,
I have said many many times ,
If you have a small bank roll and you are making %%%%.
Yes %%% of that bank roll you can steadily increase your lot size using standard method or i like to say compound it.
lets say 25% increase or 50% etc or just go ape and hit it 100%.
Believe me you will trade better as your trade entries will be more selective thus making you a better trader too.

For example, in my trading it is not uncommon to have 6 losses in a row, but still come out green in the end. 25 % * 4 would already be 0. But maybe you can put a fun account and try to make it big that way, or you really are in the very comfortable situation of not having to care about money. It is really a big difference that has to be made clear for everyone reading this a priori.

{quote} Got "boring" +10 on 2nd break of M15. Sir Billy, do you think it makes sense to make it a rule to trade only 2nd breaks on Fridays? Less risky and why hang over a weekend, paying swaps.
you have a good point.
i suggest different trade options to people.
we can trade a break, or only trade off the retrace following a break (or both) using 15 min or 4 hour bar.
Same with trading the 00-00 and 04-00 4 hour bar, trade break or trade retrace.


The 08-00 15 min bar break is ok on a Friday as we have good odds of getting 5 .

As for holding trade over weekend, it did happen especially with a counter. But i looked at it as an overhead, if you know what i mean.

True. If they opened at the high things would have been a bit straight forward. I'm still surprised that 1.1350 has not been touched.

not having a care about money ????? that sounds like my ex wife lol..
I know you can trade, but i would definitely be looking at those losing stats lol.

just keep check yourself, use cable and e/u for example. just check example the 00-00 4 hour bar from next monday.
Trade well bud.

I love the 4hr candle arrangement. It's showing me way down. Also waiting to enter at 1.1396. Maybe we can finally get 1.135 today? Hmm...
Edit: No chance. Trade missed.

{quote} Hi Billytt. Have fun lol. We are looking after a Labradoodle at the moment for one of our friends who has just had a baby. Baby born at 3 pounds so both still in hospital. Regards Kev
Hi Kevin! Labradoodles are adorable, friends of us have one. They also say that they dont lose that much fur.

My New Foundland "Sunny" passed away many years ago ...

Looked exactly like the one on the picture.

Have great weekend!
Tom
