you are wasting too much time here, better start trading with those 500k and you should recover soon.
Thanks for the sound advice. I am here whilst I hold trades open - my positions are on longer timeframes.
I browse forums whilst I kill time outside working my JOB.

Hmm... toxic places filled with toxic people. Certainly there are many of those here, there, everywhere - I am aware!

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I am a beggar.
No I am not physically handicapped.

Yes, I made - and lost - $14 million.
No I have not lost everything, and I still trade with my $500k (3.8% remainder) to recoup my losses:

Thanks for your correct analysis. I refer to my main account I will "attempt" to keep DD as low as possible.
My smaller accounts will be running at higher risk (some very high risk). I am trying a number of strategies including overclocking deposits.
lol @ Hamster dying of heart attack! I hope not!

To sum up constructively this thread, in my opinion you need to revise your strategy and MM, being you I would hire someone (maybe more than one person) like LuXing, who has experience in the area and use his knowledge to develop a more robust strategy in order to avoid the inevitable - the second loss, or series of losses. The fgree option is to create a separate thread here on FF and ask various traders how to improve the strategy, increase wins, decrease losses, decrease risk. Mamybe launching the EA in the longer trends will be helpful, maybe just focusing on entering in a corrections of larger trends.

I believe there will be a lot ideas to study and improve. And you will earn a lot in effect, safer.

Hi BluePanther, hope wall is well with you.

You have an interesting strategy. A friend of mine did something similar, although on a much smaller scale, 500-1000% in a two three weeks was a norm for him, although on much smaller accounts 1000 - 2000 (so after two three weks he got 10000 - 20000) and smaller leverage (up to 100). He hunted for the ends of corrective moves and beginning of impulses, sometimes used Elliott waves, but most of the time it was long term LT and sup/res as his main tools.

After reading your thread I think there is a bigger potential potential in his strategy than I initially thought, I would like to know more about your approach. In exchange I can supply a broad spectrum of Elliott analyses with preferred directions of the market, points / areas of entry and exit if you wish.

Maybe someone reading this thread knows about other threads here devoted to similar strategies (entering long moves, aggresively adding to winners, auomating it all)?

After reading your history of 84 pages on MT4, I see no business, only a reliance on a programme that you let trade nothing short of reckless, I witnessed throughout the history an obscene amount of money turned over with not one reference to donations, you may well embarrass me here in something I have missed and I sure would like to be wrong, and if so apologise.
All through your history you make reference to not being able to trade, constantly looking for the Holy Grail, so I will ask, is this what you intend to do again with the money raised or is it to put back in to your account to replace what was lost?, (it's a tricky one because you never started with this amount) either way, I think, as you quote from Biblical text, you have a moral obligation.
I will offer you the most valuable thing I can at this time, a total stranger half way around the world to pray for you and your family for your well being, the psychology behind it all will not pass easy.

The profile on his portfolio is not him that is someone else. In my opinion the man in question is just a random guy who created himself a persona on the internet to draw attention. AKA attention seeker.
Are you referring to me?

Then let me respond:
> Yep, I am an "attention seeker" (as far as bragging anyway)
> Yep, that is my picture and my profile (Post#65 and at mql5.com).
> Who else would I be?

Do you know the reason why I post sh*t publicly?
I want to show the ATO, my broker and anyone else that I am legitimate and ain't doing anything dodgy (like insider-trading).

{quote} Yes, hard to believe a person could be so stupid to lose $14 million the way I did? Or do you find it hard to believe a person could be even more stupid than that, to create a campaign and expect hand-outs? My story is sad no doubt, but I find it sadder when others judge me as a liar without real cause. I have my account statements, and my broker will vouch for my experience (with my consent due to privacy). And apart from my posts on MQL5 showing my performance, I can only retell my story. The maxim holds true: "Judge others as you ought...

I found this little gem on my desktop.
Judge others as you want to be judged yourself.

One thing this campaign has proven to me is that I was wrong to believe I can trust others - genuine and decent people seem few and far between in this world.

Thanks Fred, I avoid FF now, as they consider me a "commercial" member due to the commercial nature of this thread.

My progress is only shared on mql5 these days.

I get the impression there aren't many (any) serious traders in this forum especially.
Else the maxim holds true, that 95% of traders are losers.
