stops need to be placed the other side of the level

your level indi didn't pick up the level below?

I dont depend on indicators. They are there as an aid.

  1. I dont use stops in the traditional sense instead it is better to view each position as a sequence of trades.
  2. Utilizing a scaled entry approach you can average your way to success and remove the need to be right the first time you enter the the position.

Cheers.

If you took the time to actually read a few pages before that screenshot you would know he was trying out a spread-betting broker.

He started with $3K and he made like 30% in a couple of days, IIRC.

By the way statements don't mean shit. Unless you truly know the individual in person there is absolutely no way to be sure a posted statement isn't fake. It can always be from a demo account or photochopped.

And so what? Some of us do trade multiple accounts, with multiple values... or other peoples accounts for them.

Weirdo.

thanks for your explanation! that gives me confidence! I need the confidence before I start to go through this huge thread! ha
btw, in FF's trade explorer, there is no way to cheat! you can tell if it's a demo or live. and it will show all your results, including the open trades. you can click my name to see it. of course, my account showed in FF's trade explorer is also a small one. I have a huge one with much much better performance, but I don't wanna share it. sorry for that. I just think a good live trading performance in FF's trade explorer is much better than thousands of posts and will encourage everybody here in FF.

Nope I'm sorry you're wrong, infact you are dead wrong. I did 253 pips on crude during asias session tonight with 4 open positions. 3 POsitions X1 lot and 1 position x3 Lots. so 96 45 54 and 58 (x3 which is the same as 174 pips on 1 lot positions).

Infact if you really want an instrument to swing on like hell you should probably be trading DAX instead of crude because it just swings that much harder.

Heres an example of doing 936 pips on DAX today

If you want massive amount of pips trading currencies is the wrong game for you to be in as has been mentioned over and over.

And if you want to swing crude you're missing out on a LOT of action.... Crude as has been mentioned before by emene is a very particular beast that is best traded on m1 on m5...

Verb, if you don't use SL, how and when do you determine that the trade is a loser?

Every Broker out there offers dax futures... its not necessarily labeled as dax but can be labeled as GER30 for example... you should check on it.

I don't view one trade as a loser, I view it as a sequence of multiple trades to profit.

 

  1. I look at my open P&L and manage available margin.
  2. Once 10% of my balance is at risk then I take steps to manage smaller volume positions, close them and keep trading at levels closer to the market price.

This is a much deeper subject on money management and risk management. Two different things, which I may at some point expound on but energy is low today. I will need to come back to this subject or I may not.
