I wouldn't... But that will obviously have to be a personal decision for each and every trader.

Aloha Pip. Hope you're doing well. Couldn't find you for awhile since they moved you. Have no idea why, but hope all is well with you.

Hey MKFX! I'm doing great! I'm now a "Commercial Member" due to a recent situation which can be found maybe 10 posts back or so. It's not a big deal to me at all as nothing has changed on my end.

Still making money and enjoying life! Hope all is well with you bud.

Hello 100Pips + Khaled + Everyone!

I began to briefly follow this system (as well as Third Screen) for the past few weeks. I am running on a micro account and followed the Third Screen and have doubled my account in 3 weeks. Note that I have only a micro instead of a full fledged account

I apologize that I never posted but I only didn't because I would rather make a mistake and then look for the answer myself instead of introducing myself with a question.

I wanted to say that the Third Screen is doing me well but I would like to also like to try the 20/50 EMA and will begin so. I just wanted to let everyone know that I work many different hours + a single dad of a little one therefore my main focus is even though I have a great paying job... a one source income kinda worries me.

Hopefully everyone welcomes me here and there (Third Screen). I just wanted to finally post because I want both threads going. Thank you!
I love forex. One day it will love me back.

Singha83,

Welcome to our threads! I'm glad the system (Third Screen) is working out for you and also like to wish you the best with the D1 20 EMA & 50 EMA strategy.

Not a bad start to the month. {image}

Which broker did u used to have such low margin used? U had 3 trades each with 8 std lots (8 mini lots) and total of MU=$1218?

Ok, I am guessing 8 mini lots each trade, but if u are using 8 std lots pls let me know ur broker,
Leverage must be very high with 8 std lots, total of 24 and yet only $1218?

There is ALPARI logo on bottom of screen in toolbar if that helps, and I think the account is GBP
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

lol yeah the Alpari bit is a good clue and it is GBP. Main account is with IG Index who don't support MT4 which makes things a bit awkward.

Hi Claudia,

Thanks for reply to Gold & silver trading. BTW have u started demo with TCO Trader using ema for Gold? I had no results to report yet, but so far, Gold with the original 20-50ema is working well, YA. Learned the hard lesson that its best to either switch off EA on Friday or take profits earlier to avoid getting "road kill" in my live acct. For live acct I got 400:1, but only 100:1 for metals, so if Gold=$1300 (eg) its $13 MR per ounce and I am doing abt 5 ounces or 5000 cur units (0.05) on an ecn acct. Kinda of felt like watching grass grows, but being somewhat short of $, I would rather keep to abt 10-20% capital usage and patiently grow my acct, After all with 20-50ema, I am literally sitting on a "Gold mine"

PS: IMHO, higher leverage is good for smaller acct, I cant rem which broker, XE gave 888 and there was one that gave like 1000 . If u not careful or dont have a good risk/reward/order mgt, u can over-leveraged. Usually its also my observation that these brokers can sometimes raised the spreads, or have higher quotations. Theres always something they hide thats why the insane leverage given. Its the adage "One Pound of Flesh for One Pound of meat"

HI 100pips if you can answer

I see by demo one account you have had some short on EUR/AUD
with success
My question is are you using original settings I am using third screen ea original settings with the only difference is number of lots 2

I have had no sell signals on this pair but only buys
i have long short option ticked so was wondering do you know why this would be as I am noticing this on a few of your pairs compared to mine

Any help appreciated
