The pair seems settled around 1.0850 level after bouncing off today's narrow range between 1.0810 to 1.0870. Let's see what the FOMC will bring today.

I've been looking at different strategies on TradeExplorer. Haven't found any as good as mine.

This is what I concentrate on: Pips Gained vs Pips Lost... (Unleveraged ratio of profits to losses) and Avg Trade Duration (Scalability of strategy).

Anyone know of a TradeExplorer that can compete with my TE in that regards?

std, later... left some small pendings eu starting at 0812 (0810) pending uj below 118.86 (no need for a stop above 118.87+spread) gu starting 1.4220 as described for them earlier. good luck.. china drop with intervention already could be a big deal, if it develops continuation tonight.

Pips gain vs loss is insignificant when your pips gained is on lot sizes of 0.01 and pips loss is on lot sizes of 10 lots. Normalize them to standard pips, then we talk.

Hahaha, my thoughts exactly Really a poor guy if you ask me, we all know he will soon have lost all his money and most likely will be at -$1B with debts owed to his broker.

some say printing leads to bull markets.. its mostly true, one shouldn't argue about future. zambia and pre ww2 germany markets did well while printing according to accepted theory. houston sometimes all the planing in the world can go wrong. no sense playing the game if we already know the outcome.

{quote} I'm changing around the leverage settings and accordingly the target returns for the system.
but here is reality ready to bite you in the ass:

1) you keep changing the leverage and the settings and the target every time the account losses some more but that will not make it anymore likely to happen
2) your account is plummeting and soon will be bust
3) your expectations of exponential growth are just plain dumb and could never be achieved
4) your expectations that brokers will continue to offer any significant leverage on a large account is incorrect
5) just because an MT4 back test says it is so, does make it true

all these things point to naivety and lack of experience and discipline, which in turn means it is extremely unlikely that you could successfully manage a large account

Nice coil in EURUSD. When it breaks, should get a good size move. For now, looks like it can continue to coil for a few more days
