Now, if my trendline is right, what has news to do with all this? specially with 4 hour gap between them, first we spike up and secondly we spike down. In my opinion it just justifies wiping retailers accounts and SL, otherwise it would be too smelly randomly every now and then. I may be wrong but never bother ahout news personally.

{quote} Nala, What do you base your $7 dollar investment on?. From what I read between the lines is that you are saying I am trading .50c lots. So I had 14 buy trades x .50c = $7. Now look carefully at my attached charts and statements. I do not trade .50c lots. I trade .05c lots. So let's take 14 buy trades x .05c = $ .70c. A huge difference isn't it? Or am I missing something? Last question: The report is generated automatically from the standard indicator "trade report" available here on FF. So how do I do my magic accounting on this? Cheers....
There are three lot sizes...
1.0 is a Standard lot size returning $10 a pip.
0.1 is a Mini lot size returning $1 per pip
0.01 is a Micro lot size returning 10 cents per pip.

You are buying 5 micro lots per trade which is 50 cents per pip.

Take your fist trade it made 92pips distance and paid you $46 so it must be 50cents per pip.

I suspect you have your base currency in US dollars and not Rands otherwise there would be a conversion to calculate also.

{quote} Continued: I did not have enough time when I replied above. In addition, for the wary eyed. If I trade .05c it means I make .50c per pip. Google "pip calculator" to see how much you make per pip relative to the lot size traded. So .50c x 202.20 Pips (as per the trade report) = $ 101.10 - $ 6.51 (swap fees) = $ 94.59. Nothing fancy, no creative accounting. Pure simple maths. Cheers. {image}

Yes it is .50c per pip on GbpUsd and the base currency is USD.
So you agree then that there is no creative accounting.

Just needed to clear the air. Misconceptions are created when one is accused of creative accounting.

"Creative accounting" what a beautifully sarcastic proposition. Hahaha... you had to quickly rebuff it.

Tempting to go long but can’t see an entry point yet.. maybe around daily pivot first


just crossed checked EU which is dropping more. Maybe hold off from longs for a bit unless pivot is broken. Maybe there may not be a rate rise from EU … could be a ranging day regardless as NFP tomorrow

Numbers are a sensitive matter, by sharing trading reports, thats mean you are sharing your personal income data to the public ( taxes, poverty donations, etc will come after you if they find out / unless you are trading on a demo account, it doesn't matter ) something personal should not be published like you hide a bird in your underpants lol

Well, I don't really care but if you wish to stop misconceptions then stop posting them.

You keep putting the c after the 0.05 when these are lots not cents.

You are saying that if I place a trade long for 30 pips and close half at the halfway point and the rest at 30 pips then I have made 45 pips profit (15 + 30) on the trade. I wish it worked like that but alas I only make 22.5 pips on the trade. Not counting spreads.

We got worse numerical problem ahead. Anything that benefits trading and capitalism among the public is a good thing and is a good force to counteract the regulators.
Everything is seen by the regulators anyway, good luck hiding anything in 2023 from A.I and mass surveillance.
It's up for anyone to decide themselves what they do want to share or not want to share.
