Jacko's P&P Trend Trading Method 73 replies
Dislikedso newbie, what would be a good amount in your opinion to start off with? $10,000 enough? what is the difference risking 2% of $10,000 (50 pip stop) therefore trading 4 mini lots versus 0.4 standard lots? A mini account will overcome the disadvantage of assymetrical leverage (up to a certain point). Surely a mini account is better for smaller account sizes until one builds up their pot of gold.Ignored
DislikedAt this time it does appear 5700 is holding the downside, but I'm just not so sure. I will still stay out & those that are advocating staying out I second your idea as it is just too uncertain @ this time. You have got to know when to HOLD THEM , FOLD THEM & when to STAY OUT. There have been some
really great post made in the last few days................keep those coming.
Not much else I can add, but I still look to 5600-5650 as probable support levels from which a resumption of the up trend COULD BE SEEN, BUT I COULD BE WRONG.Best trades to all.

DislikedThe easiest way to answer this - if it scares you to trade, your risking to much.
$10,000 on a mini is fine just stick to the 2% rule of thumb, then when your in profit and comfortable with the method increase your trade size - but only if your confortable with the risk.Ignored
DislikedYep, He is amazing. I read up to about page 60 of this thread before I had to skip to the end.
I sent Jacko of an email the other day to find out some info in regards to 'turtleship' and I hope to hear from him. I have been trading forex for about 12 months. I attended a course in 2007 which I learnt all about charts use, setups and some trading styles. Unfortunatly they were pretty complex, in which you have to set up this and that then wait for this and that to happen they enter the trade this way and set up this to get out radda radda radda and so on.
Ill be honest this method has netted me more pips then ever, and right now I am being more disiplined with the eur consolidating, and I believe it is because I am understanding how this method works, and why there are some many people that believe in it.
I now look forward to a future of being a posible forex traders, however being 26 I understand also that life is long and there is no need to race to earn my first bucks.
Thanks for the feedback newbie, much appreciatedIgnored
DislikedI am very proud to say that I am a member of Jacko's first group.
Before joining the group I've had studied forex and had been "trying" to trade for many long months.
All I got was a frustrating sentiment all the time the market went against me... How could that be possible? I used all these pretty, colorful and intelligent indicators... I studied so hard, read so much... Even though I made some profits every now and then, I was more consistent about losing money, bit by bit. Or pip by pip.
I remember I was glad for using a very strict money management from the begining. At least all the reading gave this very important guideline.
And to finish the deal, my broker back then declared bankrupcy and run with all my money. All the money I preciouslly saved from hard work. Gone. Klaus Richter and NEUIMEX are names I will never forget. S** of BIT**!!!
How would I get on track again?
Right after this I accidentally got to this thread. It made my eyes shine and really captivated my attention. Read about 95 pages in a row when I got to Jacko's idea of criating a group of traders that would learn directly from him.
So, I took the last bit of money I had, the amount I had for emergencies and swore to save it no matter what, and opened a new account in a real and well-established broker and sent the U$500 to Jacko to show my commitment.
I all had was faith. And a very burning desire to learn to be a consistent trader. This is really what I want to do.
...
Today I fell like a completelly diferent person regarding trading. How could I not see that giant pink elephant sat on my couch just beside me? Even the things I read before now have a new meaning.
I am still using a very strict money management and learning. But now I know what to do! I am more experienced. More confident. Confident enough to say to myself that the market today feels sideways and that I am not doing a counter-trade that Jacko himself traded. Let see how the market flows tomorrow by the time Europe and US open.
And yet, every time I read this thread and Jacko's private blog I learn more. That's priceless. It feels like it just a matter of time before I get my dreams to come true. It might even take some years, but I know what I want and how to get it.
For all this I thank Jacko, his wife, Mark and Newbie.
Good trading to all.
Leonardo
