Hi guys,

I think cable is going up to at least 4350 before a drop.

I have been trading my own account for 3 months (just cable) so far and I am up to 144k , I love forex. By the way my system is just 65% accurate but I risk 5% per trade.

Check my journal for details
5% wow....that definately needs balls..good results thou

guess not.

I have a question for cableexpert. how much capital do I need to have to risk no more than 5% of my total equity to get over 100k in 3 months?
Thank You

it is amazing how all markets have the same concepts. I used to trade commodities for a bank, and we used resistance, pivot and support when we traded for our own books. But we were almost 99% accurate since once you are the market maker and have the limit book, it is easy to compare the bulls agains the bears.

We should befriend a trader at DB, they trade 80% of FX.

Hi EO,

Can I ask, what made you go short from 4270? Was it the sloping trend line or another reason?

Thanks for your help - I think I'm seeing some of the same trades as you but still need to check whether my thinking is correct...
The candle circled in red made me want to go short. Notice how it didn't take out the wick of the prior full candle with small wick? When I say take out, I mean close above the wick. Once the candle closed, I set the order for 4270 and was filled shortly thereafter. SL wast 25 over the wick of the candle circled in red. It's a common setup I use.

Welcome to the thread! Looks like you've had some nice returns. I wish you the continued success you've had. Don't take everyone as an attack against you, we've had many and I mean MANY people come in here and boast about the holy grail and then next thing you know, it's for sale or their selling signals or other bullshit like that. So, if your intent to be here is to share and openly discuss cable, then please stay and contribute often.

Trade well!

nicely said eo.
cableexpert : no offence, but it was your first post & the introduction was a bit suspect that's all . And like eo said, there had been many that had tried to sell their stuff here so .. you better not be one of them, coz some other guys here can be downright nasty if they need to
so good luck to you. ok guys, m off. chow
Thank You

I promise I am not selling anything. I just want to get my system from 65% to 85% so I am here to exchange opinions. But as the weak human that I am I wanted to brag about my last achievement, wouldn't you?

anyways, as i mentioned before, I think cable will go to 4350
