Soon, I will describe our approach to trading and describe main principles of our strategies, so click "subscribe"

I also added explorer of one of our newly created strategies which is in a phase of incubation on real market.

Y Axis missing (properly ?) how you can be credible by posting some kind of brownian motion.

On Y axis there are only values in $.
Please tell me, why you need this info?

This "brownian motion" as you called it, shows if week was up or down, amounts are not important.

If you have any questions please ask.

I wish to share one of my trades from yesterday.

On EURJPY EA is currently looking for shorts and a failure of local bottoms.
In the picture below you can see that yesterday such a failure had place which gave opportunity to short sell and to flow with the momentum.
This trade was closed with 34 pips profit.

Hi,

Today I will briefly describe strategy which is connected to explorer.
As I said before this strategy is in phase of incubation.

It is trend following strategy which is based on failures of last tops/bottoms.

Other rules:

1. All positions must be closed at the end of the session.
2. Use Breakeven.
3. No Take Profits.

Why such rules?
Let’s start one by one.

1. Why we close all positions at the end of the session?

Because:

1. Swap is additional cost.
2. Lower liquidity during night (higher probability for flash crash)
3. New day – new opportunities.

2. Why we use a Breakeven?

1. No sense in staying in the undecided market.
2. Low profit is better than low loss.

3. Why we don’t use Take Profits?

1. No one can predict if directional move takes 20 or 200 pips.
2. Black swans really exist .
3. “Cut losses and let profits run”.

Money management in this strategy for now is set as below:

1. Max DD: 50%
2. Max risk per trade: 3%

After we accept strategy, we change MM to lower values.

Hi,

Today I will present two trades from yesterday.

EURAUD:
As you see below, the trend was UP and EURAUD made a false breakout of last resistance. This trade bring loss -30 pips.



EURJPY:

On EURJPY we have a downtrend. Price break through last support and keep moving with the trend. Trade was closed at the end of our trading session with 60 pips profit.


Have a nice weekend

"Trading is simple, but not easy". Just wait patiently for this one proper trend. But in practice, patience loses with greed. People want to earn fast, which is why they open many meaningless transactions. #onetradepaysforeverything

After 7 profitable weeks finally came the lossy, luckily small Each series has its end. This is the basis of a statistical approach. Losing days, weeks or months is something normal. The long-term result counts, because #onetrendpaysforeverything

So, as I said #onetrendpaysforeverything

Some thougths about trading:

# 1 [EN] The worst thing you can do when choosing a given investment / investment project is to be unprepared.
Risk - the most important issue. We often forget about it at the very beginning and we remind you when it is too late. Remember, the more profits you expect, the more risk you have to take. There is no risk-free investment, no one knows what will happen in the future, and despite the best intentions, a given project may fail. So before investing your funds, answer the question: will you feel comfortable in a situation where you would lose them? If not - it means that the risk is too high, look for investments that are consistent with your character. Remember that in the world of investment only you are responsible for your finances for generated profits and losses, so you have to understand and accept the risk.

What a boring litany .








Can you see the difference ? otherwise it's sad.

Last week we had 92% win rate, which gave us a profit of 705 pips.

Still amount doesn't matter. There is a change of % risk/reward but losing/winning amounts in $ stay the same.

You have Trade Explorer available in my profile, if you need there are % and pips.
What is more you have whole history available, so you can add your position size to each trade and make a simulations of your MM
Managing your deposits is also an very important aspect of trading

Regards,
Bart

Consciousness is very important in trading. Without proper understanding, we must not open positions on the stock market. The first rule is to understand that there is nothing certain about the stock market. The stock market is a changing environment, where only the past is certain and the future can not be guaranteed. We only have a CHANCE to achieve above-average profits.

Capital curve for the last week. Trading is simple, but it is not easy. Just wait patiently for this one trend. Simple in theory, difficult in practice. Automatic investment strategies are an ideal tool for learning patience and consistency.

Last week we lost 58 pips.

Never invest borrowed money or money that you have saved for a rainy day. Investments is a world of uncertainty. Potentially high profits involve the risk of loss.
By investing borrowed money in the event of failure you lose twice and end up with debts that you can not pay back.
Therefore, for investments spend the funds that really are your surplus, and in the event of investment failure their loss will not cause you problems.
The goal of the investment is not to solve financial problems, but to diversify the portfolio and multiply the assets you already own.

A very common question for people who want to invest in the stock market is: how much can I earn on this? The correct answer should be: only certain thing is how much you can lose, profits are only a potential reward. The stock market is not a full-time job, you're not sure that you'll get any money every month. What's more, it may be that you will suffer losses.

The stock market is a variable environment, which is why the results differ. The average annual rate of return does not mean that every year we earn the same, it is only average. Therefore, if you want the stock market to be the only source of income for you, you must have a very large financial cushion to be able to sleep well and wait for good times.

If, however, you expect specific results from the stock exchange, know that this is the beginning of the end of your adventure with the stock exchange.
