Quoting Ryanmcd
Okay 3 trades I am in,

EUR/USD - Winning 3 positions open
GBP/USD - Winning 3 positions open
EUR/JPY - Losing 3 positions open

The winners I do not care about it at all, I will trail stop them out, Now this loser is the problem, and yes I know all too well I am going to have losers and I dont care about that. I do care if it's a loser and it runs wild..

I have attached a screen shot of it, I like RSI and know it well and I think it may run a little more up that pin then sell off but I need to have a plan if it keeps running. My stop is above...
If you are still in E/J, you can get out at BE or better now.

How to average 10% - 20% monthly returns

compounding, mentioned by fijitrader, also is 1 way to increase our accounts.

I'm still looking for that chart that shows risk/drawdown everytime a trader gets a loss.

Nice trade mate!

I agree we're at a significant support zone.

I am setting myself up for a long, will this be a 500 pip runner? Just like you I've got no idea, let's see how this unfolds...

I remember it wasn't too hard logging on to dictionary.com to fathom Bemac's posts...

ghous,
yes, it's easy to use dictionary.com or merriam webster's but the botany part i mentioned is not. lol

I feel it's difficult to decipher Bemac's posts even with no variegation.


PS. if u feel i'm a genius, can u please vouch for me again?




Congratulations onmyself!

I don't believe in such fairy tale, each month 10 to 20%? I won't dream about 4% each month, that is not realistic. but, I dream about 1000% a year, if any chance.

Okey,even though I made terrible statement about risk, I still think I have long way to be totally humble to the market, and someday, the market will be humble to me too.

krue,
i'm not sure if u are being sarcastic or what. u have made several conflicting statements.

my last insight would be:
just keep learning, increase your trade consistency, then for sure the profits will just come to u.

Closing 1 out @ +240 or 1:1 on the eur/usd, letting the other 2 positions ride.

Hi, supremeChaos

I never ever make any statement of sarcastic, if my message makes you feel any of such a tone, I am terriblely sorry for that.

is it true, I made several conflicting statements? this could be, I knew there are a lot to be sorted out in my mind. thanks you for reminding me.

Hi folks,

First post on here so go easy

Anyone else seeing the small(ish) daily pinbar forming?

small S/R area - a reversal to the current short term trend back to the long term bullish trend?

thoughts?

I found this great chart when I was reading through Darkstar's posts a few weeks ago, but Captain Piptastic posted it.
This will help some of you realize how normal it is to have significant drawdowns from consecutive losing trades.

1. Once we have a strategy,
2. We will know our winning %.
3. We can look to the chart to see the likelihood of having a significant drawdown
4. And determine an acceptable risk/trade from there.

For example.
70% win rate.

There is a 10.6% chance that I'll have 5 consecutive losing trades over any 50 trade period. So if I suggest risking 2%/trade, I would have to be comfortable with a 10% drawdown (5*2%/trade)... This is of course the worst case 10.6% of the time... But 3.2% of the time, you will get another loss right after those 5... so a 12% drawdown...You must decide if you are comfortable with this.

What's even more important to factor in is us as humans. The chart assumes all other variables are constant, namely the trades we take. If we start altering the trades we take (ie, overtrading, letting losses run, etc), the probabilities will no longer hold true. So maybe including a safety factor is also of benefit...
