After you have made 50% roi overnight and could have scaled in to hit 150% early in the morning but didn't ............ Next best thing to do is to take a walk in the park.

Just downloaded mt5 from FXPRO.

I have noticed mt5 loading to be slightly faster than mt4.

Now migrating my multi-pair signal watchlist to MT5.

Hopefully , I can distribute the load this way.


Also time to learn mql5 ... :nerd:

Yes you can create your own EAs , indicators , scripts but the coding style slightly different. Best to go to the mql5 site for reference.

I think mt5 uses more memory but at the same time it can do more things such as see market depth or even make your own market depth indicator.

I also read that mt5 you can make use of openCL to hardness more computing power.

Year end ma........

I have closed shop for the year and happy to end my year positive.


I have been 'chat calling' brokers using the list provided by myfxbook and forexfactory these few days as my admin work before next year. So far there are like about 120 to 150 brokers to call.

I am mainly looking for brokers that have a good company policy on negative balance protection.

Reasonable leverage for large account like 200k deposit 100:1

Hello, FF world! I am new on FF. I have traded FX off and on in the past 5 years. During that time, I have traded on both demo and real accounts. However, I have suffered much setbacks; blowing five real accounts owing mainly to two reasons: lack of a functional trading system and bad psychology. In fact, much of the setbacks has to do with the latter than the former. I was impulsive, I over-traded and I was greedy by taking trade sizes more than 10% of my capital in search of quick money! So, I took a holiday off FX trading for about 10 months. Then, I came back a few months ago practicing on some demo accounts to develop a functional trading system I can have confidence in and master my emotional weaknesses. About a month ago, I opened a real, micro/mini account. Having joined FF over a week ago, I explored some FF forums to see systems and approaches that are can reinforce or make mine more efficient. I started seeing a few such systems can reinforce my trading system and style; particularly as I have chosen to be what can be called ‘an intermediate swing trader’, which helps to negate the emotional weaknesses I referred to earlier. What is my system based upon? For now, I am using a series of four EMAs: two short-term for trigger, and two others (medium and large) as a support/resistance mechanism. I now trade on the 4-hour chart as it suits my personality. Hey, that’s just a matter of self-introduction. Have a profitable trading year ahead. Lol

Thanks Mark. I really appreciate the podcast. Now, I have a question for you and the guys on this thread. Today I am making a strategic choice regarding the pairs I trade. Since I tend to trade about twice a day and hold my trades as long as possible, definitely I don't scalp, I am now thinking of trading EURGBP and EURAUD in addition to EURUSD. I am doing this because I realized that the two former pairs will be less affected by fundamentals. As they are not USD crosses, they will tend to cancel themselves out and will be more predictable in the short to medium term. What is your take on this? Any feedback from other traders on this thread will be appreciated. Have a prosperous and productive trading year.

Hi Mark, interesting thread. What's your favorite dish? I'm always hungry after your posts.
Haha , I like sashimi and steak very much. But not the ones cooked in Hong Kong canteens, most of them are mutated in form of taste and texture.

In general , I guess if you are willing to pay , I guess any cuisine will also taste good. I just had Mala Fusion near Jordan MTR with other traders and forumers yesterday. Morning I was blessed with Chinese roast pork with black truffle and Siu Mai with abalone + carviar at CHINA TANG


In Hong Kong if you go for the Cheap takeaways , I like PIE & TART

For molecular gastronomy , I have tried BoInnovation. They do stuff like liquid char siu pao.

I have tried to link my forexfactory thread with dukascopy community forum and was slapped with a permanent ban which was later removed....... Reason : Posting commercial content........ Now how is a personal journal on Forex Factory commercial ?

Dukascopy community is interesting because there are having so many other contests beside trading. Keeps the stress away. However , I guess they expect you to keep yourself within the boundaries of their Dukascopy online services.
