length of position holding vs. pips profit dans Boîte à suggestions Sep 09, 2010 at 10:47

I think in both cases 200 pips in microlots vs. 20 pips in regular lots as well as in case of "wide range strategy" you still have room to fill "system description" space. I think if someone is examining system will certainly read creator's description.I think this stat will filter out scammers that says they are scalpers, but in fact are holding trades for hours just for few pips profit.Bare in mind that it's just another idea for sorting data [now I do this sort of research myself anyway].

MM - whatever works? dans Traders Expérimentés Sep 07, 2010 at 12:17

Hi,I started y demo trading few months ago http://www.myfxbook.com/members/Krysztau/intuitive-trader/35885As you can see I use quite large positions on my account [actually I open three positions at once to set multiple close].In return I got trades that loose up to 5% as a regular one [one day I lost 15%, but it was an accident, but t shows, where my stops were at that time].Recently I started to think, should I lower my risk by decreasing lot size, or rather take it as demo, that proves my MM is correct.There is common rule of 1% risk, but personaly I think it's not a must. I rather thin...

Discussiom dans Boîte à suggestions Sep 07, 2010 at 12:05

I'm against idea too!I saw couple of discussions where someone did job of following system's trade on historical chart just to reveal ridiculous [or lack of] SL. Or to see something is a martingale.

Pips locked in dans Boîte à suggestions Sep 07, 2010 at 12:05

But only for open trades?I realised, that if during a trade I change my SL, the only last one is noted in history, what doesn't give a proper view of strategy, so not sure what's your purpose Steve..

Overall sentiment of all traders dans Boîte à suggestions Sep 07, 2010 at 11:58

That would be interesting stat for homepage. To summarise how many members of MFB is long or short in what pair [with main crosses on main page with ability to unwind] especially interesting would be ability to see historical data [so we can see "do we loose or win on average ;)]

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 23, 2010 at 20:49

Well,I think EUR trends on some solid fundamental basis, in case those basis are no longer true you would easily realise that. However still there will be some other pair trending in such conditions...

As I see from your chart you base on those big runs in the first place. So I suppose you don't risk more than 1% and as seen from statement your average loss is 0.3%... and bigest loss is 0.85%...So it somehow fits what I said earlier...

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 23, 2010 at 16:18

"for some systems..."that's the key ;)Personally if I designed system that generate 95% of loosing trades I wouldn't bet 1% of my account [btw if you could point one such a strategy here on myfxbook, I would be amazed and interested]additionally I tried some systems that generates row of small losses and than big gain [not martingale however] and to manage trades I treated every row of losses as a one trade...

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 23, 2010 at 07:21

What I can say for sure - lowering your trading size on losses [just to keep 1% risk or whatsoever] is a worst thing one can do ever. In other hand I by myself use different sizes dependably on how do I feel about a trade I open...

Show lowest Equity% ever dans Boîte à suggestions Aug 22, 2010 at 20:01

I think this may be fixed by marking clearly on a chart where from real equity is calculated, fxbook can simply separate graphically "downloaded history" from history generated on the go. There still will be a possible bypass: one can update account only on start of MT4 instead of every 5 min. This way you can restart MT4 only when open positions are in plus.

myfxbook - customize the white background dans Boîte à suggestions Aug 22, 2010 at 19:49

I prefer to set black background with white or yellow fonts, not full customisation is needed I think. Just one bright and one dark colour scheme...

length of position holding vs. pips profit dans Boîte à suggestions Aug 22, 2010 at 19:31

I think this may be key analysis to rate trading performance.If you can show sort of chart with number of pips on Y [vertical] axis and time of holding on X [horisontal] axis.Use of such statistics would be to see if given trader holds his "scalps" for few hours or days to get 5 pips profit or if one cuts his losses quickly. It would be good to see scalps held only for 5-20 minutes or only 50+ pips positions held for few hours or days [with occasional stops at BE here or there].Please rate :)

FreeSignal >>> dans Systèmes de Trading Aug 22, 2010 at 18:59

Indeed I would never trust this way of trading as 25% plunge in equity is beyond what I understand as a MM. You are in plus in other hand, however time is needed anyway to prove you right. Will watch.

fundamental dans Traders Expérimentés Jul 09, 2010 at 18:06

What you mean by fundamentals?Plainly who's go better numbers, or much more?I try to think of a market as a whole, liten to the news [not all of them], but any single news release was never a reason for me to "change my mind", however sometimes I try to estimate what reaction to the news will be and have some good result with this, but never made a trading strategy out of that...

Long-term trends dans Traders Expérimentés Jul 09, 2010 at 18:03

I do,I trade based on J16 from FF, in general start with 30-40 pips, quickly move SL to 10 pips loss, than within an hour or two I set to BE. I set 2 targets based on S/R and third leave with that BE hoping for very long runs [non of those worked as intended yet, but if it will, I will dance naked on a street ;)]

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Jul 09, 2010 at 18:00

I got my point on MM too, as a manual trader I prefere to get used to numbers I see in "profit" row. So I prefer to trade always the same size of position, so always one pip mean more or less the same amount of dollars.One day when I will see my account get to a level where I will decide to rise risk amount [let's say when I double my account] I will not rise it as it is, but will wait for some loosing trades [les't say if my average DD is 7% I will wait for loos of 5% and than will enlarge my trading size as planned - this would be like saving some stack. [of course this wil...
