Did you get stopped out?
Does the chart display the bid or the ask?

I do not know: But your Unit Size would surely not be that attractive - I would not take that as a proof in either way.

Have updated the statistics in posting #1.

So far this is a very bad month. The success rate is far to low but this has happened in the past as well. What makes me glad is that the account is almost stable (at break even) even in such months. I'm looking forward to the next week...

How's your USD/CHF trade? I hope you'd able to get out before it turned against and hit your stop. Btw,which software you're utilizing for your statistical performance? I'm using "market system analyzer" by Adaptrade Software.
Trading is the game of fear and greed.

It got stopped out. I don't use any break even stops as this often kicks you out of a good position.

I use Excel for my statistics. I have made some scripts who make all the computation for me.

what's your set-up criteria? It's likely to me that you take any hourly inside bar as your signal with a the risk same as reward?

Yes, hourly inside bars, but the risk is 0.75, the reward is 1.00. I combine this with a dynamic position size management.

hi Xaron,

for your statistic on the first page - do you do that manually or use a program like FXHat??

I use my own Excel sheet for that. I've coded some visual basic scripting in it to do all the calculation. If you're interested I'll post it here.

BTW: I've just updated the first page...

Thanks Xaron. No need to post it - I don't have excel and I'm not sure if the macros will work properly in Openoffice.

Very kind of you.

Hi Xaron,

First off let me wish you well in your quest, I have been watching with interest for a while now. On Monday I opened an account funded with £20,000 with the intention of taking it to £250,000 by the year end, I may start a thread to keep any interested perties up to date. If I do I will let you know, should you wish to follow my progress as I watch yours. In the meantime I wish you good trading, may the pips be with you.
If it is to be - it's up to me
