Hey Pipland,

Long time! How's it going?

He didn't mention any s/l in his strategy, so he will eventually be wiped out.

Did you read about David Einhorn's (the guy who predicted the fall of Lehman) prediction regarding Japan's dire fiscal position? He is of the opinion that, with public sector debt at 200% of GDP, they may have now passed the point of no return, meaning a major currency crisis potentially looms. In response to this, CDS prices for the cost of insuring JGBs have doubled in recent weeks.

All the best, Paul
Hi Paul, going good thnx. Certainly has been a long time. How you been?

I havent seen that exact article but I have been doing a lot of reading suggesting the same outcome for the Yen.

Looks like conslidation patterns in some Yen pairs, im looking to start dumping it v soon!

USD/JPY may be the best vehicle

PAUL that is not fair..August 2008? would have killed any1..i know this cause i tried it

u know the answer already.. good question
I done badly in August 2008, too. I think we were both long cable when price broke out of range at 1.95(?) and too slow to acknowledge what was happening.

But he needs to robustly test the EA over different types of markets, rather than make blind and dangerous assumptions based on a trial in tight ranging markets. He would likely have been killed in EURJPY from August to the start of November in 2008, where 400-500 pips a day moves weren't an uncommon feature in the market.

actually that period is why i cant long in cable, it emotionally finished me off..thats why i short cause i know if im wrong it wont kill as quick.

august...bloody hell man..price fell to the bottom like i never thought it would.

all i remember is amertrini say (he was long too) " dont worry u wont regret it"..man did i regret..bless him wherever he is...i do miss jamie

I will go far to say if i didnt trade that period id be a much better trader today..assuming the loss didnt teach me anything
Edit: - nope it did: money management

when the yen collapses he may get to test his system live! I hope it incorporates a SL somewhere!

The averaging down works well, yes it's risky you need 2 things to make it work :-


1. A sensible line in the same for your SL, mine is generally 200ema, but 600sma and 1440sma work for me to.
2. You need to make enough profit when you profit so that 2 positive trades = @1 loss if your SL is hit, if you can't hold for atleast 50% of your worst case loss don't bother.

I had a run of 23 profits in a row off this, but didn't have the exit strategy so badly slapped the account ofcourse, you can get a win rate of 90%+ easy IF your good.

Sorry mate didn't teach you that, it taught you FEAR and since you trade at such a low lever of risk you'll never make more than scraps.

i blowed my account..

well... it can happens. i think many of us (a lot of us???... all of us??) blowed our account one or two, or three times... don't hesitate, think again, use demo or nanolots (interbank, oanda, marketiva), read about MM, risk/reward ratios, etc, search for a method in what you feel comfortable, and start again very slow....

Q: how much money you blow? (if you want to respond)

Nah not really, I embrace greed and factor it into my system, without greed I'd have no reason to trade after all.

Making scraps is a waste of time and energy to me, get rich or die trying is more my style.

that is sad..it shows yur not prepared to graft for it..it simply shows u dont know what it takes to be successfull...success cannot come to someone who isnt prepared to work for it.

i hope u change your mind

1.6877 is a level to watch.. pass this level we might see 1.6955. However below this price is bearish.. might go down until 1.6750
Quoting Yngwie
1.675 then 1.6670
Quoting Yngwie
Sold 1 lot at 1.6853 and more sell order at 1.6865
Closed at 1.6755 --> 98 + 110 = 208pips..


ermm maybe we might see 1.6670 if 6750 breaks.

Except I've been trading for 10 years on and off, I lived off trading stocks for awhile ages and ages back, I've revamped my system numerous times so I can safely say I've put the graft in, big time infact.

What's your win / loss ratio ?? and Average Profit / Loss then Nav ??

My Method, although always a element of gambling has much less gambling than your method, you've barely got a edge on your method where as mines got a huge edge!!
