Longest string of consecutive winners?

Hello all, this is my first post here on the Factory, even though I have been a long time lurker amongst the forums for quite awhile. I am curious to see the number of consecutive winning trades that some of the members here have been able to experience. Whether attributable to blink luck or to your "system", I'd definately like to hear about your longest streak. What I am most interested in, would be to see the highest consecutive win streak with an overall pip average of between 20 and 100 pips per trade. (Trades can be as low as breakeven, but none can be negative for even a loss of 1 pip). By no means do I believe there is an "always system", nor do I carry any falicious hopes to find one (Other than the person as the "system" )...I am just curious, that's all. Looking forward to alot of brainstorming together in the future, Pfd

From my detailed statement since I started real trading:

Maximum consecutive wins ($): 11Average pippage I can't tell you, since the statement does not give that information. But It's probably around 100 pips for this streak.

Of course, recently I blew a huge portion of my account (on the GBP/JPY correction), so I must not forget to mention the fact:

Maximum consecutive losses ($): 24

I don't use stop loss and I only close my position when it is in black. So technically I have 100% winning trades. There were a couple of margin calls but that was early in my trading day when I still didn't how a margin call occur.

Thanks for the responses fellas. This will sound completely juvenile, but I am going to try an experiment involving a string of consecutive wins. At least, I would need 7 wins in a row of 50 pips, and at most, 10 wins in a row. I am sure this has been discussed many times before, but I am going to try it anyways . For fun, I am going to leave $100 in fxcm's No Dealing Desk mini account with full leverage at 200:1. I am going to margin the entire account, go for 50 pips per trade (Which doubles the equity) and compound the account by margining out the entire amount on each successive trade. In theory, $100, doubled 10 times consecutively would be about $102,400. Even doubling up 7 times would equal $12,800. Please understand, this is just going to be done as an experiment, not as a serious trading "strategy". I will be using a breakout strategy involving Bollinger Bands and 5 and 8 ema's as signals. I will NOT be taking every trade...just the ones that look to be the strongest. I also will not be trading the heavy news releases (Just asking for trouble IMO). There will be no stoploss, just a margin call if I lose. Wish me well fellas

P.S. Should I receive a margin call, I will refill the account once per week, every week until I achieve this.

consecutive profit (count):65.09 (311)consecutive loss (count):-85.54 (13)Averageconsecutive wins:16 consecutive losses:3

it takes 311 consecutive winning trades to gain $65.09 and 13 loss to drain $85.54......
i trade micro, so there is plenty open and closing

Thanks for your post Gwan, alot of opening and closing isn't bad inherently as long as the net result is profitable and not psychologically destabilizing. However, I am going to try to keep my number of trades as low as possible. The lowest pip target I would go for would be 25 pips, which would be a 50% return. 25 pips per trade (theoretical, nothing works "per" anything in trading) with 12 winners in a row would grow the $100 to $12,974. I am a big fan of Anti-Martingale procedure, and knowing when to risk profits in general. I don't see all potential trades that a certain system provides signals for, as being "equal" at all in terms of betting opportunity. I know their is discretion involved here, but certain trades will offer the opportunity to "go for the jugular" (Soros) in terms of being a pig with leverage. The stronger, more fluid and concise the trend and market state, the greater probability of not only continuity, but "safer" scaling in and "ramping up" bets.
