I disagree - there was a competition in Poland - winner got Porshe, every week ppl got some smartphones, winner scalped over 50 000 % second mybe few 1000 less and third about 35000 as far as I remember...The third person didn't scalped [I saw history].I do believe it's possible especially on demo. You may say to not to trust demo, but first - you see here 5 trades over 100 pips each, and second - this is demo contest, everybody traded demo here, so it's not an advantage of sportcity or whatsoever...

However sometimes I open trade without SL, please bare in mind, that my mental stop loss is never lower than last 30M low, or approx 10 pips below it if it's too close.However I would never let my position to fall lower than 50 pips.I'm trying to move SL to BE as soon as I close first part of position or sooner.For alert i use 4H candle, but for exact entry I watch 1M chart.For stop adjustment I use 1M tops or bottoms break-outs than whem left with last chunk of initial position I adjust stops more conservatively by using 30M chart, fibs and weekly pivots.

Averaged pips [profit] calculation in partial closure dans Boîte à suggestions Jun 18, 2010 at 10:21

I'm not sure how does it work, but in history file, when you close part of position, it turns out a s two separate positions, one closed earlier one later.I suggest option to aggregate such a positions.When you see two or more positions with exact same opening time and lvl, then take it as one position, and as profit count average of all of them weighted by size of each.So in history appear actual number of trade in spite of partial closure. This would give actual number of win trades and lost trades if someone closes partially winning positions and same for loosing ones..

pips calculation bug! dans Boîte à suggestions Jun 17, 2010 at 08:06

Hi!There is a mistake in pips calculation [see my trading history] I traded Dow futures and lost 16 pips, but system counts 0.01 as a pip, so with 1 contract I have 1600 pps loss what gives $80 that's all wrong and ruins my trading performance

Another issue with martingale is that when you open a trae and then close part in history it appears as bunch of trades.Let's say you opened 12 lot's @1.0, then closed 4 lots @ 0.9980, and then 8 @1.0020 - it looks like martingale but is a proper money management...

There is also other thing like not puting SL, some traders show no drowndown, but their positions between open and close [for 10 pips let's say] plunge 200 pips below zero, what makes them in my opinion useless...

Would you like to join free thoughts sharing FX trading room? dans Traders Expérimentés Jun 09, 2010 at 15:20

Hi,Recently I felt need to do more than just post a blog. I think this may be of invaluable use to share thoughts live with other traders [not exact calls, but rather sentiment and general trading plan]. Firstly vocalizing of your own plan to others may make it for you easier to understand it and follow.Secondly small trading chatroom would be great place to share and discuss ideasThirdly other traders may inspire some new thoughts on market.I personally trade London session and news announcements, but everyone is welcome. If it happened that group is too big, we may split dependably on tradin...

Well, what would you call martingale here...I mean doubling positions for times in a row everytime looser appeare is quite clear.What if someone happend to put bigger trade as his estimation of chances rised in second trade?What with softer form of martingale, where one put 1.2 size of loosing trade?what if you open one position with big SL in a morning and then scalp all morning with bigger position size?I'm absolutely for flagging, just wanted to post some concerns. This may be good if flagged user may mark that he does not agree with this judge, so he can explain in his own description....

I tried to implement some probability formulas to all those data, however it turned out that going above 100% is statistically virtually impossible.However all those calculations were made on average results and number of trade. In average 3% of trades were winners, so taking less trades gives you bigger chance for success...Anyway, have you got any thoughts on results as statistical data..?

Contest summary dans Général Jun 09, 2010 at 10:06

Hi,Contest is done. :)If I took no trade I would be on 8th position :D :D :DI heard 5% make in in FX,Here we can see 2% of winners. 1 month is not enough you would say, but what all of you must admitt is1. Even if in long run someone would turn above 100% balance, certainly someone from top is there randomly.2. This is short run, but there is loads of trades [of different traders] alredy traded, so if one would add up all of them I believe it would turn out to be faaar below zero sum game.Unfortunately there's no apropriate tool, so I will try to count all trades, total result and see what...

Whatever it was luck or plain experience [possibly both ;)] I'm glad to see more conservative [in terms of strategy] trader to win.If a winner would be one of those scalpers that made 500% one day and go broke another I would be quite disappointed... Very good trading, congratulations! BTW I wonder what your decision background was :)

sportcity dans Systèmes de Trading Jun 03, 2010 at 08:45

obviously large risk, because this is nature of this contest, now matter how good your skills are, you need to be a bit lucky anyway.I'd love to undrstand your trading style if you don't mind sharing [possibly when contest is finish]cheers :)

FXDD MT4 coses position by itself - do you have the same? dans Général May 06, 2010 at 23:53

you right!However I still don't get it' 100% of what? With $1000 how long can I keep 0.1 lot EU open without SL?

FXDD MT4 coses position by itself - do you have the same? dans Général May 06, 2010 at 22:45

Hi,It have happend to me 5 or more times already, that my position suddenly closed without SL or manual closing it [like a bug in MT4] does it happen to you guys too?It's extremaly irritating, but this never happend to me with any other broker. Therefore even if I would win, I wouldn't be able to trade those 200 trades... ;)

SMS price alert dans Boîte à suggestions May 05, 2010 at 20:43

Not sure how much would it cost you guys. It would be incredibly handy to have SMS price alert with you.Idea is that if you want to be alerted when price reach some lvl you recive an SMS when this occur. It's not exactly what you offer here, but it's still related to FX and certainly would keep much more [and more often] people here.
