Could all of you please answer these questions.

1) What are you objectives from trading?
2) What is your goal? Minimum Monthly return or Minimum Yearly return?
3) Do you plan on sleeping tonight and waking up a millionaire tomorrow or do you want to get to the riches in due time?
3a) If in due time, how much time, a year, two years... 10 years?

I'm just curious to see what is peoples take on these questions.

My goal is to hit an average annual 25%

25% seems to be a very realistic goal based on previous performance. I also contribute 2% of my monthly income to my trading account each month and adjust trade size accordingly risking 2% - 10% per trade based on the risk factor of each trade.

yes, 25% is very realistic. there will be poeple who will call this unrealistic but i very very strongly disagree with them.

My concern, if you want a return of 25+% per year, why would you ever want to risk above 1% of any given trade? risking 10% on any trade is just insane. Even if someone told me that the market is going to jump 100 pips from a certain level with a 100% gaurantee. The max I'd risk would be 5% on that trade.

Any ways.. thanks for your answer and I'll get back to you and others when enough people have answered

Please do me a favor: you posted a number of different runs based on this strategy a couple of weeks ago.

The most interesting comparison for me was between the original strategy posted by Nico and your run number 10. It looks like the only difference is that on run number 10, if you got stopped out of the first trade, you quit for the night. This strategy looks like it would have made a little more money over the last 12 months than Nico's original.

Am i right that that was the only difference? If so, run 10's parameters could actually double your profits, since the total risk each night is half of what Nico's strategy risked, e.g. 50 pips vs. 100 pips total risk. But run 10 has at least as much profit, using the same number of lots as Nico's strategy.

Since run 10 has half the risk, you should be able to double your lot size over Nico's strategy, without increasing the risk. Therefore, you should be able to use the run 10 stategy with double the lots, therefore doubling the profits of Nico's original system.

Can you verify this and run the test? I can only do it manually from here but it could be a significant breakthrough for this already great strategy.

Peace, Greg
Bassmouth,
You are right about Run10. Here are the some additional runs. Again, keep in mind that you are loosing your initial amount, 10K with any of this runs in 2006. I also find that 90/ 55 system works out pretty nice (run20)...

Thanks for doing the extra work for us, fx 97! Your efforts have become quite valuable to anyone who is paying attention.

When setting your 55 stop and 90 limit with 0 buffer, were the stop and limit set from the actual entry point of the trade, or from price on the chart?

In other words, if you got a buy signal, did you set your stop and limit from the price you paid (which would have included the spread at the time of purchase), or just from the price on the chart?

I hope I am being clear - I know what I mean but I am not sure if I am conveying my question clearly.

Also, did you see any runs that were profitable for 2006, based on any parameters? If not, can you give us an idea of what was happening on a typical day that year? If I remember 2006 was more of a steady climb and 2007 was a roller coaster. If this is true, perhaps this system could be improved on a discretionary level by backing off in strongly unidirectional trending periods.

Again, thanks for your great contributions to this thread.

Peace, Greg

Remember that by doubling up your lots you expose yourself to double the total loss of 6+ consecutive stop outs or 600 total pips vs 300 trading one lot. So the max. number of losses stay the same but not the total loss.

This is my 1st post ever here in this forum.

1. To learn to see a trend and catch the trend, Use excess profits to invest in other less volatile markets
2. Last month made 145%, so about 20 to 25% per month
3. Plan on sleeping peacefully the next couple of years, and then waking up better off than i am today?
3a) 3 to 4 years, with compounding

The 145% i made last month, was not having more than 15% risk at any time, and no more than 5% in any one trade? Was at over 250%, but the forex gods needed some back for christmas.

Want to say thanks for this thread, I did read all 114 pages.

Have one question thou,

From what i read the EA takes into account the spread? Why? Wouldn't that turn this into a 100+ pips TP, instead of what is posted in post 1, which is TP 100.


Shouldn't the EA place the orders just like the high and low?

Example, price is 228.50 high, 225.50 low so on the buy it would actually trigger when the bid price hits 228.42 (my broker is 8) sl would be 228.00, tp 229.50.
sell would be 225.50, sl 226.00, tp 224.50.

that is what the orders should be placed as per the 1st post, forget the broker spread in the execution of the order, so your true sl would only be 42 as the broker spread should be counted there, which is where it should be included.

That is my understanding of the rules, and in my logic that is how the EA should be placing the orders?

Thanks for taking your time to design the EA, that is greatly appreciated by all of us here?

Except the ones that don't take the time to read the whole thread?
