I am not a very big or even a big trader. Don't make any assumptions based on my vouches or whatever. But one thing I guarantee is that I have tested more methods than many of you believe one can think of and test. I am giving you my second best method.

Check these links for the best method any trader has ever produced:

Most PMs I get inquire about that system. People like 'No Brainer' methods.

I don't use an advisor, only because don't know how to use one. I do make 5 to 6 trades a day and therefore need one. Can anyone advise me how to use an EA without using Meta?

Metatrader is built for such capabilities, making it popular for such automatic trading ability.
the hard thing is the coding, and unless u find the best coder in the world, it would be very hard to do in my perspective, due to your complex (simple as YOU trade) for the system to trade. In my POV as well, there are more risks in automated trading. Not all brokers like it. And when they dont like something they can do things you wont like. and also u never know its TRUE results until you forward-test it. backtesting is not half-as powerful as forward testing.

i myself dont use one, and probs never will, unless under full risk capital.

I suggest don;t but dont let me stop you.

good luck chicks

I won't. I think a Dumb Executor @ $7.25 per hr. is better choice than an Expert Advisor.

LOL. Trying to get right configuration for one of the computers, my IT guy today got very excited on seeing a forex trading platform running on one of the machies. I quicky switched the window telling him I went to that forex site just to check if internet was running and know nothing about forex or other similar on-line trading shit. His comments in Chinese accent were: "You don't know forex trading? It's a very good thing". I couldn't stop laughing after he left.

Sorry to hear about these 3 sls. But this is integral part of the game and doesn't hurt much if they get hit in normal course of business. Year before last, I hit 52 sls in a row, not a single winner. However, in the same year, hit 34 TPs, again in a row.

Goodluck with your ea.

You are looking at it with right approach. Target is 20% gain or 20% losss. With a win:lose ratio of 60:40, should take 100 trades.

what did bias you in a long entry there?
i mean someone looking at the 4H chart would see a double top and price has about 100 pips before it drops into supply again (if it is there).
of course the D1 uptrend is still there so you think todays 100+pip drop is a retracement and good to enter.
