This guy made tons of money in one calendar month August 2008. I tried but failed to figure out what he did. Anyone?

He "followed the trend"!

Sorry, I couldn't resist

If you don't know who Markam is, he called a level on the geppy last year thousand of pips below what it was at the time by a certain date, and missed it by i think it was 10 days or so.

Did a simiilar call for an even lower target and missed it by even less... he doesn't post all that much so easy to search... just sayin.

He's pretty pessimistic, so take your meds first...
Is Markam the poster's name to look up? Can you provide at least one link to get things started? Thanks.

Thanks. I will re-check.

I initially thought, his major profitable trades came from a small retrace up after a very big down slide. He kept himself hedged against the trend.

Just wondering if other people have the same experience.

When I analyze in the weekend what I have done in the past week, I see the following:

I trade shorts and longs in different sub-accounts.

The account that I use for longs always makes more profit than the account were I trade shorts.
It doesn't matter if it is EU, GJ, UJ or Gold.
It also doesn't matter if we are in a down trend or up trend.

I've seen this happening over the last 26 weeks and I'm just wondering if there are more people with the same experience?

Please give me your thoughts.

Holy Crap! I think a lot of us should try to figure out what he did. Well, for every one of those, there's 100 who lost all of it.

I'm having the exact opposite results. Go figure. Note that I haven't traded for 26 weeks, so I guess my post might not mean a whole lot. Oh well, it's the weekend.

Martingale with consistent 100 micro lots with initial capital less than $3,000, ganulation maybe?

If I correctly remember, Psiholog had similar results a couple of months back. Made thousands of pips on longs 45 50 cents on each trade when trend was down.

is this a good reason to move? I saw they beta test trailing stop on fxgame for a few months and testers say it's good.

Quoting Jay Walker
They have been saying that for years. So when Oanda says it, I say Bollocks. I believe in having a better chance seeing a battleship floating down Main Street than seeing trailing stops with Oanda.

What Oanda says and what they defecate has about the same consistency if you ask me.

Actually they do have it on there new Beta Demo platform...I use it for my demo account. They say they want to have it up and running on the live platform by next year -

I might be broke by then, but we'll see...

thanks doblece, I think so,
0 s/l and +5 t/p I got t/p 1/3 of times
0 s/l and +10 t/p I got t/p 1/9 of times... I think that's big differences..

I was using 5min lines to judge the trend.

Quoting doblece
It's easier to make two 5 pips trades than one 10 pips.
If you are in the right direction, it won't take you long (and probably the same time as waiting for the initial trade to reach 10 pips, while you wait for it to retrace below your entry and come back, you can simply have closed and re-entered at a better price... in slow markets or consolidation times, it can be doing that a half-dozen times. That's 30 instead of 10...).
Of course I am assuming that you are speaking of a fixed TP.

What TF are you using?

My life must be as bad as yours to be reading this c*ap in the weekend, specially at late hours like these.
