Hello rags. I don't think anyone can copy your trade. Well they can, but they would have to keep hitting refresh ever so often. May I ask why won't you like anyone to see your trades?

Nobody can copy your trades in real time rags, because the explorer only updates every 5 minutes or so. Viewers can refresh to view by forcing an update, however theres still a delay in real time.

I wouldn't be worrying about it, even if you are a trading hotshot.

What you may discover is that viewers may ask you to manage their account tho, which is a good thing, but I imagine that would only happen if you are consistently profitable and manage risk well for a period of at least 3 to 4 months, maybe longer.

nah i wouldn't manage money for others

maybe one day but.. i cant see it now



5min delay is... decent, especially for scalping

if could set to 10 or 15 minutes that would be awesome

But since there is not positiions to take at the moment in AUD I just put in a small amount with MB to test put spread and this thread idea is great subscribed. Once the amount is cleared for trading Im in

its a superstition of mine to have it instantly available for all to see. messes with my confidence. its a bit different with posting trades on a thread

the point of this thread is not to copy, but to see other traders results, right?

Not to mention regardless of how much or little a trader makes a day its always great to ask about what really matters how you approach and manage your account risk. It's not impressive if you risk 75K to make $100 on a scalp but the trader who can make consistent profits while keeping their RR as low as possible I respect the most.

like for instance if now i told you im trying long @ 31 (spread so 32), it kind of messes with my confidence

yes, i use 0.25-0.5% risk per trade typically. sometimes 1% if very confident

no more than 2% loss in a day

luckily trade moved straight my way, and i was very confident in this long to begin with


closed half @ 365 (+0.11%), rest is running for 2943


if i had not announced i was long i probably would have held the whole thing, thats what im talking about with the confidence issue

OK, I'll bite.
I'm not sure where this is going. Are we going to post our trades with the Explorer as backup to give us authority?
Let me know.
Anyway, one of my live accounts is public. This last month I'm getting serious. I may merge another account into this one to give a better picture.

no it's not about authority it's about talking about your trade with a trade explorer to back up your claim, there to many traders talking about they just did this or that but have no proof to back it up, BTW good trade explorer.
