I don't know what's more impressive - the results or the consistency with which you post. Inspirational stuff jor-el. Keep it up!

I always think it's important to strike the balance between sticking with a system long enough to 'know' if it works and also be able to move on from a system that doesn't work for you. Hope you're finding success, or at the least some knowledge, in ...

It's me again! So I've given it more than a month and the reason for this is that's it's taken me longer than a month to figure out how I want to trade. I've finally got a plan of action and I'm going to blog it here. My first action is to get ...

Well - the EA dream is dead. I can make an EA that works fine, but when it fails, it fails spectacularly! I just can't seem to get my EAs to fail with any sort of grace. As a result, I've gone back to manual trading and I'm still working on my ...

Hahaha. These markets will always keep you humble! I've decided to upload my EA onto the MT4 Signals marketplace - and literally, the very next set of trades are a loss! Ah well - I never trust any signal service that 'only' has winners, so it'll ...

Hey - new algo is working nicely, but it's only been about 20 days or so. I'm happy with using the 1 minute time frame as it means I don't get stuck in trades for too long. I think the longest I've been in a trade is about 4 hours. Also, the algo ...

Just wondering how often you re-visit your algorithm? How often do you back-test different SL/TP or entry/exit triggers? I'm also in the process of going live with my EA, and am planning on re-visiting how it's operating once a month.

I'm liking this thread, Rub. Glad to see people posting ALL trades and not cherry-picking to make themselves look good. Keep going mate!

I'm wondering if you've had any luck with creating an EA for your system? It'd give you a very good idea as to whether or not it's profitable (gotta love backtesting). Throw me a message if you'd like something written up for MetaTrader 4. I'd be ...

Did you think I'd quit? New algo time. I don't want to explain it but basically, it's more EMA retraction action that I'm looking for. This time - there's some loss taking embedded into the rules and it works on a much smaller timescale (15 mins). ...

So it's been long enough on the demo and I can say for certain that my algo doesn't work. I've not given up, though (never!). I now have a new algo. Like everything I try, it's very simple. It involves 2 EMAs - one quick and one slow. Essentially I ...

Who wants to take a guess at how things have been going? If you guessed that my plan has changed - you win! What do you win? Nothing! Basically, I've been looking into automating my trading. In fact, I've more than looked into it - I've done it. ...

Is this all to do with the storm disrupting supply? It's the only piece of bullish news I can find! My positions are hurting me ATM, but will give them this week (and probably next) to make some movement downwards - otherwise, I'll chalk this one as ...

Surprised that the downside move today wasn't larger - but I've still got my eye on hitting the $35 mark before getting out of my shorts. There's no news coming out that isn't bearish IMO. Anyone else seeing anything different?
- MattRWR replied Sep 4, 2020
All I can say is that the last couple of days were a bit of a ride! I've never seen the price not touch the EMA(40) on my hourly charts for so long. Managed to get out with only some mild bruising (2% account loss) but, wow. Good to know these ...

OK - things have slightly changed again as this month draws to a close, but I'm beginning to think that a little bit of 'tinkering' now and then doesn't mean you're a bad trader - I think it's part of how I trade? It's very slight changes - like not ...
- MattRWR replied Aug 23, 2020
Don't go chasing those trades! It's your job to take what the market is willing to give - you can't 'make' the market do anything it doesn't want to. A boring day is better than a bad day. Also, you made money during your 'boring' day!? What more ...

This is too true. One of the biggest hurdles I'm still trying to get to grips with is accepting the fact that swallowing losing trades will actually make me a better trader. Accept the small loses when they come - don't try and force every trade to ...

I have to say that the one thing that keeps me 'consistent' is looking at larger time frames. Not in terms of chats, but in terms of what I want my trading 'career' to look like. I've got my 'best case scenario' all worked out in a spreadsheet - ...

Ha - been moaning that there's been no movement this week. Be careful what you wish for, I guess!
