Psychological aspects of traders and investors. dans Traders Expérimentés Mar 18, 2014 at 05:58

Yes, the problem is stress. It makes people freeze up. Not knowing what is the right thing to do, they do nothing. The simplest solution to stressful trading is to use a successful robot. They have no emotions, the patience of Job, and are really good with math. The benefit of starting with these helpers is that they can help you feel good about investing in the beginning while you learn, when you need the emotional boost the most. They don't make a lot of money but you get to keep what you make, that has to feel pretty good. 12 to 25% a year and being able to sleep at night is really ...

You're playing in a dangerous game, living in the US. Recommend going off shore yourself asap but, the type of corp that you want is called an IBC (International Business Corp.) Best to set it up in Belize (not too far from Texas) or Panama. Both protect your privacy. If an off shore broker thinks that the corp. is owned by US citizens there is a strong chance that they will terminate their agreement with you. When you set up your corp, tell your lawyer that you want to keep your identity off the record and they will help you to accomplish that. I have worked with Orion in Belize City,...

A little correction here, In the trading aspect of the forex market the leverage is always 100,000:1 One lot is 100,000 units. We only trade in lots or partial lots but the leverage for these trades are always 100,000 to one. (Note; mini accounts, like available at IBFX, are 10,000 units per lot)The leverage that you hear people talking about here is the marginal reserve leverage. In the US the maximum leverage is 50:1 lets see how this help any trader. 100,000 units at 50:1 = 100,000/50 = 2000 This means for every lot traded you will need to leave 2000 units (dollars, euros ?) in your ac...

Well, yes but brokers outside of the US won't accept US customers because they are afraid of persecution from the US government, I can't say I blame them. The best solution for US traders is to open an offshore business while they still can do that much. Anyway, if you want to be able to use a hedge, you need to go off shore. Bob

Different kind of hedging. The US rule change only effects US forex brokers, not big companies, they're the ones who make these new rules to lock out competition. Haven't you heard, the US government is the best government money can buy. Bob

Ebook or course to follow? dans Nouveaux traders Mar 15, 2014 at 22:50

The easiest way to learn forex trading is to start with systemic systems. It is all logical and is easy to understand. From there it is a lot easier to pick up technical trading. The book that you want "Robotic Investing", costs $29, is not to difficult to read but it is a text book. http://thesafeinvestor.com/products/books/Good luck.Bob

IBFX and FXDD has developed a way to accommodate for FIFO and hedging which they call a back office solution. It doesn't work for every type of fifo/hedging problem but I understand that it does work for some trading systems. The better solution is to open an offshore IBC (International Business Corporation) and use it to open your trading accounts. It is perfectly legal to open an IBC no matter what your citizenship. And the IBC has to abide by the rules for the country in which you opened it in. I can recommend Belize and Panama because they have laws to protect the business from pry...

"Jarora is looking for a system that can offer a backtest from 2008 to 2014 without any SL hit and high profit generation, and also looks for weekly backtests that are without any SL hit, something magical yet not faked... "Pipable; that's not all that hard. There are a lot of technical traders that have not developed very far beyond their own system, that think the stop-loss is the only safety technique, but I have seen other good systems that use no stop-loss and are profitable. As an example you can hedge a trade instead of closing it. Only technical traders rely heavily on...

Well, I have to admit that I never thought about your point and had just assumed that traders only were interested in the high risk / high reward aspect and would not be overly impressed with our low risk methods. I learned something today. Bob

I can just feel the love here.. We had been discussing the forex as a high risk environment (gambling) but we also discussed how it is also the safest environment for those that want safety. The only problem is risk and profits go hand in hand. It appears that the best way to optimize our portfolio is to have some accounts that use high risk/high reward strategies but to also have others that are low risk. There were the beginnings of a discussion on ways to move trading the forex toward the safer end but unfortunately, we picked up a young troll and have made several attempts to help him ...

RISE AUDCAD dans Systèmes de Trading Mar 15, 2014 at 06:18

Since we wanted a system that we could use in our retirement, we focused on safety. But as safe as we could make it, we still diversify every chance we get. Different brokers, different systems, and even different markets. I think most good traders would consider a safe program especially for the time when they just don't want to personally trade any more, but I liked your high / low risk system, would you mind sharing here for those that are reading this later? I would like to learn more as well. Bob

This is a brief introduction to the topic of systemic trading systems. Systemic is not to be confused with systematic trading which has been around for many years. The plan was to, not try to teach computers to trade like humans, but to redesign the system to take advantage of the computers strengths. In other words we created a system for the computer based on mathematics.There are four different systems, all systems can be down-loaded free and used on a demo account for as long as you like. We encourage this as we want you to know that you can trust your robot before you actually put it t...

No, the problem is that US trader are being forced to use US brokers and the government controls what the brokers can do. The best thing for me is to go off shore myself and trade from there. However, the Passive Income Generator works well in the US. It closes all the open trades at the same time for a total profit. There will be some of the trades that do close for a loss, but the positive trades cover for the losses and also makes a small profit. The PIG has been averaging about 2% a month.But Rise is a true no loss program. Not perfect but stable and I think that there will be a few...

Phoenix is my latest research program. I was checking out the dual recovery system but what it still needs is a better decision maker to determine buys and sells. Right now it just looks back until it finds a price that is a set number of ranges from the current price. If the first hit is for x ranges down then the price is increasing and we do a buy, obviously the opposite would also hold true. This program is not for sale yet, it is available for demo testing because it was originally designed to work with the human trader, not on its own. However, I think we can eventually make a decisio...

"Ok back to where we were before Junior Zero showed up and lit my fuse. It's obviously a grid trader but what is it?"It's called a split grid, it takes advantage of the normalcy that exist only in the forex market. Stocks can rise forever because the fed can devalue the dollar. But in the currency market all currencies are devalued more or less in sink with each other so as you look at any currency chart, you can see how they dance around the center between the two historical limits. By using a grid, we can know exactly how much we need in the balance to cover that curren...
