{quote} compound is a smart things to do ... {image}
When my Forex adventure started 6 months ago, what really puzzeled me was the compounding possibilities!
Well, as long as you can do it day in day out LoL
I made me an Excel sheet. If someone would like to play around with it I will certainly share it!

Compounding... i will leave this to the viewer to find details regarding new margin rates. several years ago when i was seriously compounding.. i could have £20, trade at £1 per pip, have a 20 stop loss and take 20 pip profit. THEN DOUBLE IT.. SO FIRST TRADE , BANK £20..... £1 PIP WITH 20 STOP = £20 NEEDED to Trade . SO 20 + 20 profit =£40. NEXT TRADE Bank is now £40,,,, £2 per pip with 20 stop.... 40 + £40 profit = £80 and keep doing it. lol edit. the 2 trades above, normal trades would of got 40 point profit BUT WITH COMPOUNDING we make 80 point...
Some nice nice person just pinged me this info.

If i were to trade a first trade at £20,,, it would cost £8598 to do so lol.
i remember going back a few years it would of cost £20 to trade £1 pip with a 20 stop.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh foor the old days.

Miti

for the same risk Value , you may split your entries, i do it if i want to enter and if i think that price still can move against me,i split my enties in 3 parts
ie for shorts :
+30% at +8 pips from last low
+30% at +16 pips from the last low
+40% at +24 from last low
and if price continue against me i will use partial SL as follow
-40% at +4 pips from my last entry
-10% at +8 pips from my last entry
-20% at +16 pips from my last entry
-30% at +24 pips from my last entry

means if the trade is a losing one i have lost 20.55 pips in 40 pips move against me ..... means you have room to reevaluate your position .....

edit : the real advantage is that you have a chance to scratch your trade when price comeback to BE ..... look at your chart is not often that you can find a 40 pips one way move without retracements .....retracements give you opportunities to close your trade if in doubts .....
MM can't be fixed ... has to be dynamic .... like the market ...
you need to have an average price as close as possible to the current price ..... 97.7 % of the move are less than 39 pips straight without a retracement of at least 8 pips on the last 8545 moves on E/U

Si Billy what would have been the trade on the 15 minute bar at 8am? I had it fake break the high by a pip or so , i would have gone long and then had to stop and reverse at the low to recoup correct

Hi Sheppy,
High Broke then retraced to break.
I would of gone long and then stuck a counter on at the low as you said.
we could of used a stop too.
I also would of stuck a trade on for the 5%....

i think from next Monday i /we shall start looking at the 00-00 4 hour break looking at pips made before opposite end breaks..
Maybe with a view to trade standard or better still compound....
I know it works but it will get you thinking.....

I know most of the time the counter trade is not needed, the 5 pips usually gets hit. Highly reliable when we are in between 10 and 40 pips in the first 15 minutes. I find less than 10 and we get chopped on the stop and reverse if going for 5 pips with it
