  • First Post: Edited 9:13pm Oct 25, 2013 9:00pm | Edited 9:13pm
in my view to learn Forex we don't need big investment , we could start low as $0.50 and learn , demo is good for testing but it is not the right tool for learning. in real world we have slip, spread spike , etc. ... but demo have non of them. demo is a genuine world but live account is in ......... world (u fill the blank as u wish )

i should thank chicky for inspire me to start this new project .

Project terms

1. no daily/weekly/monthly target
in my experience Target lead to stress, so let it go free
2. trade any pair that have potential to give return , i prefer Gb/au unfortunately oanda spread very high for this pair
3. lot size = i will be trading 5 ~ 50 currency unit per $1 (1lot = 100,000 unit)
4. Leverage = 50
5. Goal having balance of $1 and minimum of 100 trades after 1 year (making doesn't mean will have it @ end )

Thread term
1. Be polite
2. Respect every one
3. this is a G rated thread , so please use language that suitable for all audience


Account
Deposit = $1 (25/10/2013)



now i have purchased $1 lottery ticket , i have to wait 1 year for result , u never know i might win jackpot

one of the famous quote in my language

Quote
ஓடு மீன் ஓட உறுமீன் வருமளவும்
வாடி இருக்குமாம் கொக்கு.
ஓடு மீன் -- Fishes that are very small /fish that run fast ( Tiny options)
உறுமீன் -- Big Fishes. (Nice opportunities)
வாடி இருக்குமாம் = Untiring Await
கொக்கு. =crane


means that those who are modest are wise men who are waiting for a nice opportunity!!!!

that great things cannot be done in a hurry and that one who wishes to achieve great things has to work with a keen sense of time & timing and must have patience in addition to competence.


"Untiring Await for an awesome Catch"

Which way you trade this account? Where I can see, I will make priority with huge account then if I have spare time I will trade this little account.
So it will not be effective to learn from this little account. Not to mention different lot size make different emotion in trading.

I like this idea and ... philosophy ...
That's a smart way of learning.
The important part - how many pips you make.
Only remember... the stress level when trading with more 000 will be different.
The mind of human works differently, when account is bigger and it is real money.

Good Luck !
If you lose one 1 $ I can offer one more as investor. Maybe others will join....

Mohan Jee, Good thread

Many experimental trading threads go either dead or astray after some time, for one reason........... the thread starter taking trades that are not there only to have thread going and people visiting.

Please do not take any trade which is not there. We will wait for days, weeks or even months with patience. No problem if you remain on sidelines for days. In order to keep this thread moving during these periods of time, you may like to post explaining why you are not taking a trade.

I will remain a regular visitor, though not posting either too much or too little here................. (when I post too much or too little on a thread, its normally bullshit.)

Many of you talk about a greater stress coming with greater amount.

While i do agree that there is definitely more stress when looking for potential entry with greater amount. But as soon as the position is opened, i don't count in money term but in % profit compared to opening balance (+ while making a 1k profit with a 0.1k account would be marvelous, achieving the same profit on a 100k account would be looked at completely differently, even though the amount earned is the same, and not negligible should i add)

Maybe it won't work for all of you but i found this a nice trick for taking out a part of that stress.

Hello Mohan,

This is anyway interesting => Subscribed, you are in my long term watch list

Just two words, first you called your explorer "1$ dollar lottery". Doesn't that mean that it doesn't matter wether you win or lose ? For me, that could be a mind trap. Maybe, could I propose a suggestion : "1$ Challenge" ?

Second, you stated that you want to learn patience and trading with this, and I'm ok with that, but on another sentence you said "to be honest for earning i have separate account" . What do you mean by that ? A separate trading account with higher figures ? Please develop.

And final word, Trade well and Good Luck !
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

Seems fun mate, am going to watch, maybe I can even be usefull. Its not like I had short term targets, actually pretty long term, but my silly RR @ 100:1 could be good for lottery .

in my view Challenge = fear of losing + fighting for victory , i like to be normal .


regarding other account , trading is my main source of income , i have different account for different trading style . i bealive my other activity should not influence this project.

Ok, since I like the idea and my long term targets are useless for purpose of this thread, am going to make an attempt to describe how am doing what I call beer trades. Hope its not too much out of you goal mate, if yes, please stop me. At start I have to mention beertrades actually aint working great. Overall profitable, but kinda silly, as they are what they are, beertrades, and their main purpose is just me learning how to enter more precisely. Am using same entry sequence I am using for long term trades, but trading literally any S/R or pattern, mostly in times some mid term trend is going against me (which can last very long ). Well beertrades are RR usually @ 1:3 so like 3 beers to win 9, and aiming just for little fixed amounts of pips. Incredibly stupid, I know. The idea behind fixed amount of SL/TP, is just because since I make kinda thick S/R, PA doesnt touch to the pip. So the idea is like - you have a 50 pips thick zone where you expect weekly move to hold. And one lucky day, you are going to close daily candle within that zone, and thats the place to make a beertrade. Weekly zone holds and daily close makes short term entry point. There much much more patterns I use for beertrades and I wasnt doing printsceens, as I actually didnt care that much, but if you wont mind Mohan, I can try to do some.

Mhm, not sure if I wrote what I wanted, it would actually fill few pages, so think am going to edit it later or write in word.

Not sure about the 1$ part (98% brokers dont allow deposit/trading with that low amount)
but this is something every guy testing his discipline with trades, should do (esp. newbies) ... i.e. trading with a token small REAL money !

Ok, so, I just made a beertrade, so this is how it goes. Am watching 97,65 on UJ as it is beeing this weekly fibo crap. Was looking for hold on weekly. Next chart is Daily and you see those dojis down there. Now that is a strong rejection and could hint next week could close above 97,65. Since we gaped up, I waited for retracement and entered. Now my regular trade has SL below 97 and aiming to the skies, but now I am trying to make a few beers in the meanwhile. So we may be starting retracement and daily should be bouncing of 97,65, so just zoom there to m1 chart and make a minirange. Which is about 97,66 - 97,6. 6 pips. So, pretty safe entry anywhere in minizone and SL just below 97,6 and if it is going to go up, am not actually writing RR .

Sorry, I wanted to write it faster but PA is going away. We still may have a look back in minizone though.

edit: I need to mention one important thing about these beertrades. Because they are silly, they can easily loose. But because they are in small zone, SL doesnt need to be far, so they are cheap. So I always enter two or three mini trades and a) take partial as soon as possible and at least the same what I risk at SL for the rest of beertrades b) If I cant get big enough partial to have free SL, am waiting for two retests of breakzone and then lock at BE.

edit2: Not sure if this applies to static beertrading, but am taking partials cause of those bad homesales. Those are not nice numbers. And ofc pending 97,65 SL 97,59. Its just beers.

Ok, next beertrade coming out, as I closed all because of home sales, so, another pending at 97,64, SL 97,585, TP 97,8. RR 3,2:1.

Edit: SL actually 97,585.
Edit: Ok, so trade opened. Wish me beers

Still BSting here with those beertrades, so, aggregated SL is 6,6USD. Now how to have a free SL. I take partial TP at 97,74. The only reason is that it is close and if PA gets there, I save 1,65 on SL of this trade and get 3USD. 6,6 - 4,65 = 1,95 USD. So if PA gets to 97,74, I risk 1,95USD if 97,585 gets retested, and that is below both fibo crap and daily close.

Hope it works .

Edit: PL column is BS, as it is counted for 98 target.
