5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) en Corredores Experimentados Apr 14, 2015 at 15:36

Well, I guess you just illustrated my point. From what I can see, you are on this forum for less then 1 month, are not sharing any accounts, and are talking about 20% weekly. Allow me to be skeptical, but if you can do it then great for you, talk to you next year.....if you're still around on this forum.

5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) en Corredores Experimentados Apr 14, 2015 at 09:57

Lot sizing and money management are indeed very important, at least as important then choosing entry and exit. In avoiding to ever blow up your account I would dare to say it's more important. I too say start small, but not just increase willy nilly. If I can be so bold and suggest something, it would be to learn as much as you can on money management/risk management and lot sizing. A good place to start would be the book from Ryan Jones, The trading game, published by Wiley Trading. Always remember trading is a marathon. I know most people on forums are only interested in huge % profits v...

On a 10K account why not. The downside is that you may end up with a VERY large number of open trades. So even at 0.01 lots, 50 trades open still have 0.5 lots. Meaning your live account will also need to be over 10K. It would also negate any money management techniques the provider uses. This means you are assuming no MM( or lotsize mgt) is better then what they are using. If they are successful traders, they probably have a good reason to determine the lotsizes the way they do. In other words, you would be using tested systems in an untested way. A lot of uncertainty... which are trading con...

New Trading Strategy :)... en Nuevos corredores Mar 09, 2015 at 19:47

Rixxxx, I see there is a larger then 50% open drawdown. You promote this as a managed account. Would investors not feel that a 50% open drawdown is too much risk? Do you actually have real investors on this?Also your stats are surprising: larger loss then gain, negative expectancy etc.... not sure what you are trying to gain with your earlier post. Maybe you can share some more details about your strategy.....

Central Bank rates en Corredores Experimentados Mar 02, 2015 at 17:10

it's not that simple, everything is relative, not absolute. What I mean is, if there starts to be a probability that NZD would lower interest rates (even if it's currently high) then NZD is likely to go down versus another currency that keeps it's rate stable.If 2 currencies lower rates or are on a QE program then it's tougher to judge fundamentals (e.g. EURJPY)Best recent example is what happened to the aussie when they lowered rates. You also have to take the carry trade into account. If you buy NZD you receive swap, if you sell it you pay, so it's more OK to keep a longe...

Central Bank rates en Corredores Experimentados Mar 02, 2015 at 16:54

a currency's strength is highly influenced by the interest rates. e.g. now that there is talk of the US maybe increasing rates, the USD strengthens. So a lower interest rate does NOT mean the currency is stronger. If anything it is the opposite. When an economy is bad (e.g Europe) they lower interest rates, and it weakens the currency, which is many cases is what they want.

Central Bank rates en Corredores Experimentados Mar 02, 2015 at 10:20

It is the interest rate the central bank charges to the local banks. So for NZD, a bank earns money when they park money at the central bank. Also, it is more expensive to borrow money. One reason they lower interest rates, is to stimulate the economy. By making borrowing cheaper they encourage investments. Have a look also at investopedia.com

Being an active trader myself, I would be very careful modifying the trades of an existing system. You must assume that the trader has done the necessary homework, and knows why the trades are given room to breath. If you manually modify a system, the only way of knowing if it performs better would be to try and do some statistical performance comparison between the modified system and the original trading system. You would probably need a few hundred trades for this analysis to make any sense.In short I would say, if you think the trader is trading a system that you do not like, do not follow...

Risk and Rewards en Corredores Experimentados Feb 25, 2015 at 08:30

all you have to do is divide average win by average loss available in the Advanced Statisitics /Trades tab, or do you mean something else?

Risk and Rewards en Corredores Experimentados Feb 24, 2015 at 10:13

I do not know if you can call that a strategy, but for me to open a trade there must be a 2:1 potential. To achieve that, I only strive for a 50% winning trades.

What motivates you the most to keep trading Forex even losing masivly en General Feb 22, 2015 at 14:04

I have always been attracted by the idea to make money by only using my brain and a computer. I have also certain personal characteristics that lend themselves very well to this type of activity. Although I know this sounds pretentious, I know my strengths and weaknesses. My strengths are discipline, control of my emotions and a logical thinker. This is why I am not scared about the fact that 90% loose money, as I know 90% has a tough time with these characteristics. My weakness is patience. I have been able to limit the damage of that weakness by having my computers do most of the routine wor...

Interesting accounts to watch en General Feb 18, 2015 at 15:54

vontogr, agree actually the thing that was the most interesting in following accounts is only a very very few number of accounts survive 6 months or more. I also noticed that in many cases the more spectacular the growth, the more likely these accounts all of a sudden disappear. Lesson was it is not how good somebody is in winning, but how good they are in managing risk and losses.So my watch list is extremely small now. I have recently added http://www.myfxbook.com/members/VlasovTrend/vlasov-fx/1098084 . However, it's only 6 months and I don't think these monthly percentages are real...

The stress of it all..... en General Feb 16, 2015 at 19:17

fxdimarion, some part of me understands, but not the other. If you find trading so stressful, maybe some modifications in your trading style can help more then some venting. What has helped me a lot in reducing the stress is making sure that I understand the risk of each trade and the potential drawdown of a series of losing trades. Your account shows huge variations, so this is of course a source of stress. I don't know your financial situation of course, nor do I know your system, but I do know that you should do yourself a favor and only trade a system that you can trade in an almost bo...

Create an FX trading system w/o a broker account en Programación Jan 28, 2015 at 09:28

I don't know how you would link your database to your demo account. To connect the demo account to my fxbook is easy, just download their EA and put it on a chart of your MT4 demo account.

Create an FX trading system w/o a broker account en Programación Jan 27, 2015 at 13:09

I doubt it very much, as myfxbook is all about linking a brokerage account. You don't need a real account thought, as you can connect a demo account. Any reason why a demo account would not be a solution for you?

Caesar 400% EURUSD en Sistemas de Trading Jan 16, 2015 at 17:20

To my knowledge, Myfxb does not show open order drawdown, only equity at the time of another order close and after synchonization. Do not accuse other people of manipulating something that is not under their own control. So I guess it is kind of accurate "at the time" of the measurement, but nobody knows what happened in between. Technically this makes sense, how could they monitor every account in real time and record all that data. They would need a data center as large as Google's.

EUR/USD en Corredores Experimentados Jan 16, 2015 at 17:15

It is usually dangerous thinking there is a limit to where a pair can go. It was at 1 at the start, so why would it not be able to go there again? Sometimes the best way to make money is to go with the other unlogical market players. At the end it is not about being right, it's about making money. I have no idea where the EUR is going, but it will all depend on the ECB plan. It also makes no sense to me to go lower then during the Greek crisis, but hey, if it is going lower then I'll be short... with extreme care of a potentially violent correction.

Will anyone trust the Swiss again? en General Jan 16, 2015 at 15:55

Sure, the FX world will receive more regulations, more regulators, more taxes etc.... thanks SNB!The thing I have the most difficult in understanding is the SNB behaviour. I understand why they did it, but not at all on the method. If this was the plan, why confirm the opposite the week before? Also, if others start talking vaguely of their plans months before any move, why this surprise? Surely the EUR going down is not new from yesterday. If we can't trust a national bank of switserland, where is the world going to? We all love to call the brokers thieves etc.. but this one is really n...
