Geez, 12 pips SL for 75% account, that is really a bit to much even for your style. You should reconsider your strategy. This way you are only shark's food.

Ahahaha. This is Friday. Even the not pretty good news will unleash the Kraken.

They did BARF upside in USD CAD before the "Real Move" also North in line with Good News USD Numbers and Flop CAD Numbers.

O Ya, one thing left for today, the opportunity in UJ, What do you say? Pretty sure They will unleash the Kraken too to the North. This pair is not moving so much until now.

I am sticking with Ecad short, because H1 H&S points lower. But I was watching UJ and could not decide and then had to go out. Being Friday doesn't hurt to wait for next week. I suggest you watch H1 too beside M15.
Last time I checked UJ bounced off H1 50 EMA. Not so good for longs that it couldn't drive thru. That's why I didn't open, but maybe it Will grind higher. Hard to say on frigging Friday.

{quote} I have a friend from Indonesia that uses similar MM as Domba. You decide if this is gambling or not. Imo, it is pretty impressive and does not look so risky to me. Depends on perspective, of course.. {image}
Impressive? lol

I've gained 100s of percent gains in a few days. I think many of us here on FF have done that. I'm not sure how this is impressive if you cannot hold on to those gains.

Again, the point of this thread is to build consistent profitability over the longer term, i.e. 1 year goal. If someone can build their account from small balance, trade every month, and end a year profitable, even if it's only $2 gain overall, to me that is much more impressive, due to the discipline it would take to accomplish.

Yes, but you are building the trade, he closes them and never leaves them running without tight stop. It is completly different matter. Also as you can see he is from Indonesia and TL shows that he is trading cca $1.000 account which would be like you would be trading $ 5.000. This is important difference. And I watch him trade like this personally for two years with very sharp consistency. He is excellent trader not afraid to jump because he looks at the trades always from risk perspective. The gain he is not worried about, so it happens that he gains huge % in just one session sometimes when momentum picks up. No newbie can trade like this consistently, that's for sure. It takes a lot of expirience to achieve this level.
But, you should never discount a trade method imo. He also happens to be brilliant in HFS and this alows him to trade bigger.
I am always open for learning and I have learned a lot from him. Really a lot. Especially HFS method if trade goes wrong. Very useful. You can pick up some great ideas watching great traders.

Okay, if you are talking about someone who has been consistently profitable for over a year, then? Is there proof of this? I'm sorry, but one reason we have live TEs here is for transparency, since it's easy for someone to look good, and get others to latch on to them.

If something goes against everything I know from what professional traders, some of whom I know personally are teaching, I will discount it with hardly a second thought.

But if someone can offer proof that their strategy works over the test of time (for example join us here and prove they can do it) I obviously won't discount it.

However, the other thing to keep in mind, if one person can swim across an alligator infested swamp, it doesn't give me confidence that I should be trying it also, or picking up pointers from them.

There is something to be said about proven consistency from many profitable professional traders. It is better to focus on that, rather than on some individual that seems to break all the rules of logic to make things work for them.

No hard feelings, bro, but your following "proffessionals" doesn't bring fruit so far first two months. Trading is not one size fits all. Denmas is a member here, you can subscribe to him if you want to see how he trades, because he doesn't post often on FF. He is busy teaching Indonesian traders PVSRA and has a large group of students on Facebook. You can join him if you want, his nickname on FB is Pips net.
But I do wish you many green pips and good recovery.

LOL

That was a low blow. This is not about my trading. No one here has 1 year profitable, including yourself. Let's see how it plays out.

I'm not here to learn a strategy from anyone. This is an interactive trading thread. It's not for promoting a strategy.

I apologize, it was not ment as low blow. Anybody can have a bad month. I was just refering to so called "professionals".

Your logic is flawed though. Looking at my draw-down and assuming it is because what I have learned from professionals is not working?

The primary component to successful trading is not strategy. It's patience and discipline. Until this is mastered, one can jump around to as many strategies as they want, and nothing will work...

I just wanted to help, I doubt Denmas wants to be promoted in any way . I am aware this is different thread, but wanted to wake up your curiosity that you (not anybody else) would maybe take a look and try it out on Demo. It doesn't cost you anything. But if you don't want, I am fine with it.
