Please help me understand MM

Hi guys, I am just a little confused on MM techniques.
I have been demo trading and using "Que's MM CalcuLog Ver 12.xls" as my FX calculator and trading log.
It looks like Que's MM techniques involve adjusting lot sizing so no matter where my stop is I still only risk 2% of my acct. That part I understand.
Where I get confused is when people say to maintain at least a 1:2 RR ratio preferably 1:3+.

What I have found in my demo at least is that if i'm playing a daily pin with a 75 pip stop, and I try to hold out for a 225 pip move in my favor I usually get stopped out or wind up with dead money waiting for days for the price to move.

How can I keep my RR ratio on the right track using Que's MM calcualations?

Zombi, I think I might be of some help.
It looks like you are confusing 2 different styles of money management.
I've looked over "Que's" spreadsheet and that type of MM is designed to limit your downside exposure by adjusting lot sizing so that even if your stop is 150 pips away and gets hit it still falls into a 2% risk/trade formula.

The other type, keeping RR at 1:2 or better involves using a fixed lot sizing lets say 5 mini lots. at 5 mini lots on a 10k account you can afford to lose 40 pips before you go over your 2% risk/trade.
They both accomplish the same thing just using different methods.

Hope this helps!

Am I missing something here??

Just the fact that this thread has existed for 30+ hours with no replies and within 10 minutes of me talking to myself someone chimed in.
Sorry if I'm coming off like an a-hole, the world is crushing my spirit today.

No worries... I'd rather set at the Table with a (single) A-hole Zombi than two Zombi's in the same A-hole... easier to keep track of.

I seem to remember Que had a dandy little tool there but I'd suggest not getting into a Hard and Rigid ditch over it. The math part is easy like you said, but the problem seems to be more with the "people say..." part of your post than the calculator.

I'm not entirely certain the current market conditions will give you those neat and precise R:R trades that the trending markets did. Things change....

I always liked this old post by Suntrader (where'd he go anyway??) on Risk/Reward. KISS in other words...

In any event, it sounds like between the Two of you, ya'll got things sorted out somewhat. Of course I could be completely off base here and misunderstanding both of you...

Sidenote: Don't trade with a Crushed Spirit no matter what the calculator says... turn everything off and go do something else till Spirit reinflates and Equilibrium is regained.

Finalnote: 30 hrs in the Roookie Section is just a Blink, there's a lot of competing threads here... many of them no more than errant thoughts someone had that turned into a Thread.
