Do you make money with your automated trading skills? Where do you get help?

'Please upload your account into ForexFactory, you will understand very quickly!!'

No,no I really wouldn't.
I told you I am not a trader like you. I see no reason to be concerned from moment to moment.
If you opened a trade with the take profit of 20 pips, would you say to your clients at 19 pips that your profit is, what ever 19 pips greater than the balance is? You would be misleading them unless you closed the trade right then. It isn't anything while the trade is open. It is in a potential state, not a state of existence. It has the potential to be a profit or loss but without the key element of closing the trade, everything is still in flux. When the trade closes then, and only then is a record made. It is digital not analog. You win or you lose, ones or zeros.

Even matter when not directly observed is in a state of potential. It is called into the state of existence by some act. A profit or loss on a trade does not exist until the trade is closed. That act of closing the trade, completing the loop, calls a profit (or loss) into existence. All you have to do is to not close the trades until they are in profit and keep enough money in the account that the broker doesn't close them either.

I guess I will quit here. Or has anyone something valuable to add?

Are you making money with your own automated trading skills?
Do you know good people that have coded automated systems for Metatrader for you?
Do you have customers that pay you for your knowledge or programming services?

I am making money from my automated trading systems and I do all my own coding for MT4 and cTrader(cAlgo). I have customers pay me for my reverse engineering skills, programming projects, and sale of fully automated trading systems.
I would be happy to assist you and be part of your network.

I'm not an expert into accounting, but all I know his you have to declared everything... including current positions even if not closed.
It will declared into differents boxes as you say they aren't closed yet.... but you can't ignore them. They are part of the game now.

In any case, I would mislead anyone by mentionning actual state, It is better to warn that the picture of accounting may be changed by current positions.
Now, and this is a fact that you can't ignore, by having a green equity, you could have already placed positive StopLoss.... things that you can't do when equity is red.... therefore, by not mentionning red equity, you mislead... not the opposite case.

Anyway, don't be surprise in future if people say you are up +6%... 90% traders would consider it like this.
I can understand that is better to look at 53% rather than 6%.... but you close your eyes on reality.

Each one of us, is free to say what he wants.
