nice trading wave!

EG is definitely a better pair to trade than jumping GU;-)

i am "addicted" to GU, but this way of trading (hedging&averaging) will think me about...

by the way there is one guy in the "trading is a s simple as 1-2-3" thread called "hal7" and he loved to trade successfully the ever-ranging EG for +5.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

{quote} Cheers will check that thread out ......have you gone live now? if so how are you doing
yes i went live but with my main account. then i realized that the order size was too big for averaging, BUT good for hedging.
so i am trading my old style but combined it with hedging what i learned here.


if i would trade including averaging like i did with my demo account i would start with a 100-200 account and trade not GU, but only currencies like EG, AN or ECH. pairs of countries with similar economy and close cooperation. longterm ranging currency-pairs.

Staying demo tendency to get too heavy in close short space need keep lotsizers smaller and wider pip distance.

So, I've read through all 46 pages of this thread.. and not to be an ass, but I'm not quite sure why folks are still insistent on posting TA, indicators, PA, etc...to determine the directionality of the market prior to opening a hedge trade, or write long posts about "market structure" and the "correct" way of hedging and averaging.

A perfect summation of how Rob successfully trades is from Rob himself (Rob's post from 2021 on the GBPUSD thread):

"... MM and patience,...big bank, small lots and KISS (keep it stupidly simple)", and the success of this approach Rob has shown repeatedly in the GBPUSD thread, as well as the random trades posted in this thread.

One highly successful professional trader from the past (philmcgrew) stated it well (I'm paraphrasing): "good traders can make money betting on where a cow sh*ts in a field..", alluding that it's not the analysis that's important, but the MM.

Rob's approach is much in line with what nanningbob, Bilstein, and others described years ago (see link below). "KISS" is a hard concept to wrap your head around when your beliefs/biases are so wrapped up in the dogma that a profitable trader is one who can consistently predict where price is going to move...
