Got greedy and over leveraged, and most likely got a margin call. I am not in front of my computer but I can sense. Anyway, once again I proved myself that I am not a good trader and may never be one. I will fund a small amount in my new Deltastock account and see how goes. Bye byes Alpari UK!

I have a question, as aussie is getting expensive, any chance it will reverse its trend? The previous high is at 1.02. right now is resisting at the level of 1.01.
Logics do not apply in FOREX

It doesn't have much steam left. It is still bullish on H1 and H4 but weekly and monthly show weakness. You should see a retracement soon. If Gold goes down so will the AUD. I would look for a bearish opportunities soon. If you know of Ichimoku look for entry if the price goes down from Kejun Sen.

As I mentioned before I opened a live account with Deltastock and am publishing my live results of it. Here is the link: http://yilomka.mt4live.com/

All results are real and real money. Wish me luck.

I am trading demo since I lost all my real money in my real account. I still need to sharpen my skills and need to trade by discipline. Until then, demo goes on.

So what exactly happened when you lost your money?

I noticed in your original demo account you had some very large drawdowns to the sum of 5% of your account in one trade.
How much were you risking per trade and what kind of leverage were you using?

I have read in many places to only ever risk 1% of your account, and leverage no more than 4x. I guess the 1% rule is there to maintain that this is a marathon not a sprint.

I also meant to ask why you did not put stop losses on as they are part of ichimoku, as you can use the Kumo as your support. Also what were your profit targets?

Hi,
I have been away from any kind of trading for over 6 months or so. I would recommend you to visit: http://ichimokutrade.com/index.php to learn more about Ichimoku. You can also watch some educational videos on Youtube.

Good luck and please be careful when you trade with real money. You should trade using demo for at least 2-3 months and if you profit consistently then trade what you can afford to lose.

Hi,

I basically lost all my capital in real and demo. I am impatient and as a result I lost and didn't want to anything with Forex since then. I just started to trade demo for fun and I will see how it goes.

Do you use Ichimoku? If yes, do you like it?
Have a nice day,
Yilmaz

Hi everyone,

I started trading live account. I took a lot of risks and made 52% profit. It was not a safe trading. Luckily, I closed all my trades including demo accounts. I have had a demo account for over a year which I trade on and off and that account is up 150%. Discipline is the very key I need to focus on. I am retraining myself on Ichimoku basics to make sure I understand all the concepts clearly.

This is just to update, and good luck everyone in trading. I ignore the news completely now. News is just a noise that affects the herd.

USD/JPY looks bearish on long term.
GBP/USD looks choppy; i would stay away.
EUR/USD looks bullish up to 1H time frame, but the long time frames don't confirm it.
USD/CAD looks like the EUR/USD pair.

I am short on EUR/USD. The long term (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, H4) are either bearish or in cloud. According to Ichimoku rules, most time frames should confirm your entry.

I entered around 13770 and my take profit limit is 137150. If I make 50 pips I will be a happy man financially.

I am short on EUR-USD.
Europe does not seem to fix their problems and personally I think the Euro will collapse sooner or later.
My two cents.

All the long positions were closed. I doubled my real account. I have no open positions. It's been a crazy week but ended up good I wish everyone a happy trading and many zeros into your account in a good way.

Ichimoku is more reliable on longer time frames but I trade shorter time frames as well. In shorter time frames it is less reliable.
