3000% is peanuts!

100% x 3 trades of 200 pips ^3 times compounded = 2700%

Thanks!

I couldn't resist to use the dip this morning to reenter (please not I've took out ~15k of the account so I decided to risk something again).

Stop at BE. Target? Don't know yet.

Many many years ago ('97 or '98) I did 2076% in one year trading stocks ... your 3000% in a day is impressive!

I took concentrated positions in stocks (only 2:1 margin) ... and the trading was volatile. Sometimes I had -30% drawdowns for the month ... but overall over 1 year I think I averaged 11% per week.

The best trade I ever did was shorting an internet stock (CMGI or something). It fell pretty nicely over 3 days as the market got hammered ... and I covered one morning on a gap down. It continued to fall, and I bought 3k shares, 3k...
I used to trade stocks, I traded the UK AIM mostly oil stocks and pump and dumps, the money was good and it wasn't uncommon to see a stock rise or fall 25% and more in a day, all it took was a few forum, tweets and chatroom posts! back then (2010) there were no HFT's / flash traders in those stocks so it was easy to read the order book, in those days broker man dan would post a tweet and the stock would move 10% within minutes, I made money through hedge bracket orders with 2 broker accounts. My margin was 1:1 as it was all AIM. I traded with MF Global, best broker ever!

I left the AIM december 2010, It's probably flooded with HFT's now as one sore looser went to the national press, also HAWK tried to sue a known trading forum calling the AIM a market full of con men, I think it was the daily mail that had the article "Welcome to the jungle", lol

now THOSE were the days, I moved to forex when I heard about automated trading and EA's, the whole give up work realise your dreams crap.

Unfortunately I'm finding it harder in forex and it's taken me nearlly 6 months to get a couple of profitable EA's together. It's like a pit trader buying his first PC!

I do miss the excitement of it all, all the dramas that unfolded in the forums etc were hilarious, and tragic lol

I have similar experiences in chat rooms (pump and dump). Back in '97 and '98 the Internet and daytrading was just starting to take off ... there were many stocks with low float that people would try to hype up. I remember one (CFON) which had crazy moves like you mentioned. I don't think its even listed anymore since its a POS.

Yep, it was a bet indeed. I had luck that it was a V shaped move without any correction in between.
Good boy!
I hope you still will have all your funds within the next 6 months. Press my thumbs

Seriously, I had a very lucky shot with this one, NAV is >1000%. LOL. It IS possible to make these gains even though is was pure luck and the feeling that this down move was totally overblown.

I started with 500 units silver at 26.50 and added all the way up. Target is 33-40, still not sure.

Sure it has merit... look at his chart there is a TL... did you see the break?

Do you know anything about MM? He started with $250 and he has $10k... figure out the R:R there...he knows what he is doing... do it a hundred times and your equity line will point up not down.

You should learn from the thread not bash it.

Hi Xaron, i am testing since a while your sequencer..it works nice, nībut it would be great to have the SL and TP in Stealth Mode.
I tried with several Codes to hidden the SL and TP, but without success.
I am a newbie, so could you help me please as you know your code better than anybody else. I know that there are different opinions regarding hidden orders...However it would be great to have it.
Sure you are busy..but it would be also a great option, if the first trade in the first sequence could have the option that you move your sl after having reached a certain pip target. Lets say, you have set 15 Pips as TP. When the first sequence reaches 10 Pips Profit, just set the sl to 5 Pips. That way you can avoid getting in the next sequence after being in porift already.
Sorry therefore that i use this thread, but it is long time ago that i found your EA and dont know which thread was the actual one..

Many THX.

"It IS possible to make these gains even though is was pure luck..."

Like life in general, you make your own luck.

Getting in on good setups + stops to limit your downside + the ability to profitably ride out unforseen big moves in your favor = Luck

Luck = Cha-Ching $$$

Hehehe, I did something similar a few times...it's good fun but can be very stressful. Slow and steady is less stressful (but also less fun).

Good luck

Anyone can do this by the way. Find a strategy that's proven to work, and then set aside an amount you don't mind losing. Increase leverage to hilarious levels and hope for the best.

I never did that with forex or silver yet, but i used to trade a lot of penny stocks. turned $1500 into $138,000 in 10 months. I did about 2,200 trades according to Scottrade haha.

There's much more liquidity in fx, and it reminds me of the old days of penny stocks before they dried up...

Excuse my ignorance, but how are you able to trade that many units of silver on Oanda with that capital size? I thought you were unable to use leverage on silver/gold?
