"Just Oil" in Erfahrene Trader Dec 18, 2014 at 14:28

Never underestimate Mr. market :) Anyway, I have no doubt crude will be back to $100's and possibly higher in say 1-3 years time frame. Shale oil production spike that caused oil glat on the market alos had created condition for shale oil production reduction due to current price issues which will create financing issues. It involves a lot of drilling to just keep those shale oil flows stable. However it take time. Meanwhile I wonder how those shale oil guys gonna refinance and pay back their debts and if I am not mistaken there the whole junk bon industry based on that... Might be another...

Crazy Trader, you are wasting time here. Were you to spend more time on your trading instead of dick swinging you trading would have become better. The best way is to trade and keep low profile. My trading become much better after i stopped engaging in meaningless chit chats. You know, bad energy and all.

Ok, some news to report. Just finished building cushion on my futures account to start trading 2 contracts. Which means $25 per pip/ tick. which means my account is 50% up. Next target to add another 50% , new cushion to increase my size to 4 contracts which is $50 per pip/ tick. I am still on 1 contract this month and will increase size starting January 5, 2015. On this account I have max daily loss on 1 contract $200-250, but as I requested from my broker, once realized loss is $150 account is blocked for a day. also cannot open more than 1 contract now. Need to ask broker to increase and n...

Am I ready to go live or should I test my system a little longer for a while. in Erfahrene Trader Dec 12, 2014 at 22:16

I also use cushion but for only one reason, to increase my trading size. You seem to look for cushion as a way to wait through unrealized draw downs. You need to work on your method first and be patient.Back test, set rules and practice. Do not waste real money until you do not lose demo money and have self control. It is better to go all in when it comes to real money when you are ready than to bleed those money time after time to the market. It is good to have a good stake when you are ready. i did just that.Remember, you can only fool yourself and this thing cannot be pushed.Especially, one...

I trade futures hence i cannot have floating loss. All opened and closed in one session. You need patience in your trading plan to look only for moments when you can enter and do not float hoping to come back and snatch few pips in profit... I have read some guys claim entry is not important. BS. Everything is important.

FMWell you definitelly achieved some profit with acceptable DD and with manual trading.But still EA is bettere.g. http://www.myfxbook.com/members/togr/caesar2markv/873349Looks good man! Bravo!

Regaridng EA, faster doe snot mean better. There is a saying that speed is mostly good to kill mosquitoes. EA cannot think and is not up to subtleties.

It shows 2 things: 1. How you can control yourself and risk once you are on the losing end. Trust me, it is very important2. Draw down which gets out of hand can kill your account.I see very high DDs indeed and very bad R:R ratios. I know all about R:R. When one moves stop to BE even with 1+ tick/ pip and getting BE trades but still has higher targets it will show up in at least equal R:R even on myfxbook when actually R:R is better than 1:1. Because trader is not letting winner turn loser..."I really find the drawdown concept of no use...unless one is in loss. How can past draw down be a...

No reason. Most of those who post results here are looking for funding or EA peddling. i am not looking for anything.

why? I am not looking for money at the moment. I am building my account to gradually increase size to some respectable levels. The thing is, I believe I can do it based upon my trading especially risk control. Also, I am trading futures with futures broker. cannot be connected to myfxbook.

Everything depends upon what you mean by long term? If say 1year + I can say I am , but I have nothing to prove and I am trading my own funds now But I know few guys who have been making money consistently under very serious scrutiny on risk control side and also few independent guys who have been profitable by trading manually for years.. I know also guys who use algos, but they watch those like hawks and it is their own made algos based upon how they trade and they test and retest and make changes constantly. it is not exactly EA in package with red ribbon which is being discussed here.

You know the answer yourself. Your average win is 4 times smaller than your average loss... Your results on myfxbook mean nothing at all. Your risk control is not good. Just look at your draw downs. Make sure that you trade in disciplined manner and with proper r:r playing from defensive and you are not losing money on demo, then go live. Set daily loss limit and abide. be disciplined. Then after you are not losing money after all this you can go live. Otherwise you will lose money for sure.

I would not trust EA. It cannot adjust and market is not that perfect not to mention going through various cycles. Experienced trader with self control will do better than any EA especially on risk control side... Also, how can I trust EA if I cannot trust even my internet connections...The less things one has to rely upon the better.KISS....

I love my wife more when I lost money in trading ! in Erfahrene Trader Oct 31, 2014 at 15:53

I did not dare to deposit more than $1000 before I made sure that I am profitable long term and have low risk. Usually 10-15% DD would make me stop trading and withdraw. Can check my last results at FX. it was some 2 years ago. I stayed on demo with Topstep since November 2012 till July 2014 when I got funded by them. I also opened my own futures account a month ago. wanna know what my max DD was? $100 on my account and $150 on their with $12.5 size per pip. 2 years ago i would blow account with this size faster than i would say noodle. it takes lot of work and time. I also had only one losing...
