U R right: small positions vs. my account, MM is fine
I use SL very rare
How do you quantify Reward if you don't have a preset risk? PA could keep running until we hit 106.50? And then? When do you say enough is enough...

It's hard to build a system if you don't use SL's or atleast a mental idea of where you will get out if it keeps going against you...

I am also in the camp who does not use stop losses. I trade smaller than rational in a pyramid formation. Since Oct 2011 I have had 10 losses and over 1100 wins using real money. On Sunday I posted how I do it.
Trade smaller than rational because the market is irrational...

Interesting! What would your return be on that system? I've heard of swing trading and trying to catch the highs and lows but don't fancy it myself seeing as I prefer to have a set risk (1%) with a set outcome.

How did you lose if you ever use a SL? and how big were those losers?

I dont know per the rules of the forum if we are allowed to discuss actual returns. However I will say I started with 2 digits and now it has grown to 5 digits (USD).

I sent some screen shots of my trading platform. BUT BUT BUT I designed a priopiartary software that performs my money management. It tells me how much to trade and my MT4 and OANDA indos tell me where to get in. I also monitor newsfeeds as well.

If you dont use a SL then you must live with a DD. That is where trading smaller than rational comes with a pyramid formation

the price goes up @ down within different TF
i may take sep-by-step sells/buys - depends on the direction i chose because of various issues
after the price come to dady i took TP
if i feel the my direction is wrong i lock my positions and go another direction
when the price come to dady2 (oposite direction) i took TP2, add some positions to direction1 and correct my TP1 for others
hate if price stuck between 2 points (this way i may take my loss or enter another fight, prefer to fight)
like a closed circle

My inital tip of the praymid pos size is 0.06 - 0.13% of account depending where Euro is on the price scale. My software increments from there additional sizes based on E price, number of open pos and account size. It also suggests min level to get in once indos confirm. this is to aviod a price plop. It also tells me the % of Euro hitting a certain price in a certain time. All in real time.

It also has a war game feature where all open positions are listed and where I can add potential positions AND Euro price (say what would my DD be if Euro was at 1.35 with current position load) I can switch to real time pricing as well.

So, bullish H4 price is above 50,9,30 MA . clearing out 1.2830 means plus 50 so short zone may be around 1.2880 area, have a small buy.

You been live long? Everyone has their own strategy but 15% drawdown is quite alot. I never risk more than 1% and my RR is normally between 2 and 9 :-D as you can see with this trade, average sl is 10 pips and aiming for at least 30-50 Minimum!

All about tops and bottoms. I have thought about adding an account to swing trade but 1st need to master what I'm doing now :-D

Going live and Fulltime in 7 Months (If everything goes to plan). Your analysis is really good on the longer TF's, I would hope I can reach that level of accuracy before attempting...

Happy Thanksgiving all.


I started LIVE (unfortunately) and open DEMO account about a month when I try to link my accounts to explorer.

Yesterday was +89% and now +600%. Mostly from EUR/JPY and all at BE. NOTE THIS IS DEMO NOT MY LIVE ACCOUNT. My target is to consistently 10,000% then I will try on my LIVE.
