Stated exit strategy is when TDI goes flat, hooks over, or crosses the signal line, and I see that the taken exit on this chart coincides with the break below the signal line. But, is there any reason not to have taken the exit I marked on the ...

I defer to your answer as sage advice for the experienced trader. But, what is a newer trader to do that does not yet have "...intuition and judgement in his overall understanding of how the market flows." I am new to forex trading and my personal ...

Back Testing — If you mean automated testing using something like MT4's Strategy Tester, I was going to try that, but it would require writing an EA and that is something Big E has advised against. The reason is that even though the prime ...

It was the Position Sizing statement, that covered all the specific bases I was trying to summarize in the new MM plan, but...."when the pain of losing just $1 more is greater than the pain of admitting I am wrong, I will exit the trade." Is ...

20% per month. Is this possible?

Hi Apom, I have one comment and that is the crossing of the TDI should be at an angle of 12 to 2 (on a clock face) for longs and 4 to 6 for shorts. One could argue that this would be covered by your rule #5, but rules is rules. I apologize if ...

IBFX server down?
