Hi, Mistera

Good gains but a heavy DD in a short time.

It would be good if you can post about your trading and style so they can understand where you are coming from.A verified account would be best. However, I think you are going to need a longer track record.You can't expect people to invest on 2 months record, I think that is unrealistic.

Hi, mytrader1961

Yeah, DD was too high, I will try exclude so high DD in future.

I trade only manually. I'm learning Forex almost 5 years.
Yes, I agree with You, that my account is too young to attract serious investors now, but I made this post, because now, all can follow my trading and maybe in future I can interest investors.

Depends on the investor you are looking for. If you looking for cent accounts keep DD to under 30% . Your DD is 18% of opening balance if you can keep it to this you are fine.

If you are looking for larger investors 100K and up keep the profit to 10-20% per month and DD less than 10% 15% max. Its honestly not worth it unless you can trade accounts 100k and up. Also you need to show consistency for minimum 6 months.

Thanks for answer, Paul. I'm not looking for cent account. So, Yes, I agree with You, I need to take control for DD, and I hope, that after some months, I can manage some good account (maybe not 100K, but - 30k/50k account will be Ok for start).

If some one can do that, he'd not need to looking for any investors!

Yeah, I was always under the impression that 2-5% a month was solid, and the longer term traders are hitting that. Haven't seen many serious accounts averaging above 10% a month.

And as for DD, usually it's a couple of times bigger than the monthly ROI.

What lot multiplier are you using Mistera? And does it have a ceiling?

Whatever is is, it'll hit the ceiling sooner or later!

Hi Magixs,
At first, 1 lot at Instaforex is the same 0.1 standard lot.
So, before I open new deal, I decide how big order I can open, for example, I decide that I can open order with 1 lot size, but I don't open it in one order, I split it in more smaller orders - at firs I open 0.15 or 0.20 lot order, and then, if price don't go to my side, I add another small orders till I reach my limit (for example, 1 lot). When I reach my lot limit, I don't add any order.
Sometimes I open some orders with big lot size, to get some good fast profit, but its make a big DD, so, I think, that in future I don't do it anymore.

You are using martingale - adding to losers-it will always guarantee a dd on a regular basis or account blow up.

Mistera, I am impressed that you are willing to answer questions about your trading in a civil manner which is more than most people on here.

The reason why one would look for investors is because one does not have enough money to invest them self. To live off trading you need at least 50k . So if you have not got that you look for investors that do and charge them 25% from the profits you make based on performance.

All it takes is to find someone that has over 250K and you have got your self a full time job.
