simple answer. 1. security issues. 2. last time i checked (a year ago i think), 'trade explorer' uses garbage mt4-based brokers. major turnoff. 3. self-proclaimed guru's owe you no proof. even with so-called 'proof', it is easy to hide things like ...

If it's such a great system, why isn't there a Trade Explorer attached?

pro-mart... taken with a grain of (bath) salts

All-or-nothing war

I'm a cta (i.e. i run a futures fund) so no...those tracking sources wouldn't work. But I wouldn't share my trades anyways. You don't have to take my advice. Think about it if you want.

Proof That Ultra Profitable Trading Is Indeed Possible

as you are a newbie to trading real capital, stick to something like 0.25% risk per trade until you can *earn* the right to trade bigger risk, with consistent results. the cash demon is one thing...then the size demon is another. If your trading ...

Proof That Ultra Profitable Trading Is Indeed Possible

not to sound facetious, but what is the edge this method is trying to exploit? Tight MM with momentum? what is being traded is a moving average of a moving average, basket or not. Just trying to understand.

Still Basketting

haha - pre-defined area's of interest they tend to hold...but if wrong they tend to flip. using a coin at these area's would probably net the same result ironically. but random entries would destroy me as there is no consistent frame of ...

Money Management is everything

fair enough. i use similar money management (minus the hedge) and was just looking to compare, as it doesn't seem commonly used. i.e. there is an emergency 'kill-all' level, but my exits have some room to get out at a better price. regarding the ...

Money Management is everything

fun thread. change of pace to the usual here. always looking to relate exits to other people, as they are obviously the most complicated aspect of trading. curious...how are you determining your cut-off point? seems your trying to get out on the ...

Money Management is everything

if you are trading serious money, you shouldnt be trading off your broker platform anyways. find a software that suits your needs and use it independently, and simply use your broker software to execute orders. it makes it easy if you have multiple ...

Why there is no alternatives for MT4?

EA is a term associated with Metatrader. You won't hear it on grey/black-box stuff in markets other than forex. I never said all MT brokers are not legit. But yes...most of those on that list are garbage. I would not trust anything over 100k in a ...

What helped you the most to be profitable?

My 5% Trading Understanding with the Market

my accuracy is very mediocre so never have good winning % streaks, but anything above 60% accuracy is a gold mine for my approach. in '08 with the crazy volatility, was around 75% accurate for 4 separate weeks, on NQ. Oh, and with 1:15-1:40 r:r. Was ...

What is your best trading streak and how did you do it?

you're asking the wrong question. no one firm moves the markets.

Institutional Traders EW Analysis?

depends on your style. personally i hate 15min and trade 5min, though its less than ideal for forex given the volatility. with my trading approach, 15min would only provide 1-3 entries in a long day of trading. I prefer a few more. i trade even ...

Day Trading for a Living

Sorry, but Custos is right. The market is not there to abide by your ruleset - it is a play on emotions of traders around the world. Yes, equities has a ton of manipulation on the order books in the less liquid stocks, but the capital to do that on ...

Trend Trading All Pairs

you won't get a trader job unless your a quant. you could maintain live performance and convince some prop situations to throw money at you, or start a fund with other people's money.

My recent performance... should I look for a trader job?

the daily close is typically measured by the NY session close; yes big players in asia and euro also use it. with that being said...each session typically acts very differently; something very important to note and study if trading intraday. the ...

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

completely agree. i'm amazed at how it's the software of choice for even piker forex players. its amazingly limited and obviously not designed by a trader for traders.
