This post maybe off topic and if so I apologize in advance.

I have noticed that there are a few people here who 'achieve' high amounts of positive daily pips like +200 +300 or even as much as +400 now my question is what sort of daily percentages (%) do these high number of pips relate too?



Again my apologies if off topic of discussion.

Okay, screw all the fundamentals, right? Everyone is flipping about this big move off housing starts but before that the charts said to go long on USD, right? I don't care what anyone says, I'm a patriotic American and I'm holding my USD longs!

I will throw all of my heart, soul, and money at American hegemony until I can throw no more, then I will borrow it!

In the meantime I'm going long on Yen!


why dont you just trade GBP/JPY then... two birds with 1 stone..

I scale in to my trades a lot of the time-I would have been pretty uncomfortable holding several positions with that kind of leverage,would have screwed with my head and I would probably have taken myself out for losses

last 1hr candle breaks and closes above the 2 x descending trend lines on 1hr....the areas circled are the most onbvious near-term upside barriers...price is also ariound the descending trend line on daily t/f....no close above that on that t/f yet...

Possibly for a push upwards, although I must admit that would be my guess, as I'm still new at this type of thing, as I usually do 'correlation trading with a twist'............

many thanks darren

again with my 'MM' that would be around the 11% mark.

My interest is purely personal in case anyone wonders. I was obviously taught different 'MM' from others here.

I have only just moved from my demo to a Micro account so my Risk per trade is low.

Your leverage is obviously somewhere around 11:1-12:1 which is fine if you have a high strike rate methodology (ie high % of winning trades as a % of total trades.) This is also related to expectancy for the optimum balance with leverage....remembering too that 89 pip loss would for you conversely be -11% of account. What folk also forget is that for example a 35% loss on a/c doesn't require a 25% gain to get back to starting balance but a 33% gain ( ie you need to get 35% back from a now depleted 75% a/c [100%-25%] which is a gain of 33% required.) Alsoif you stick at same risk you are actually increasing leverage from a smaller a/c balance.
