Big stop cluster near 129? Good target for longs?!?

The only thread you will ever need: FX Exposed!

Hi elqflinchy, I stopped using double down (martingale) and cleaned the spreadsheet from it. Updated files are attached (English/Portuguese mixed, lol). Results still a bit disappointing, but Kelly with low "aggressiveness" keeps me from ...

Kelly Criterion - Optimizing risk

Discretionary entries (answers to the question "where is this s*** going next day?"). 1.1% in the first day. Not valid though (not following the rules). So, I should stop posting.

Closed on drawdown recovery to get a fresh start for the new entry time.

Third day balance: $-2 (0% acc). Will change my entry time to 03:00 GMT.

DIY Trading - An Art of Probability

Ended the 2nd day with -1.1%. Had the opportunity to close with +1,8% during the day but sticked to the plan of holding until London 00:00. It was a bad (and mechanical) decision. I believe it is not possible to win mechanically. The market would ...

Discretionary exit, that's fine. I am very skeptical of completely mechanical approach.

First day -1.3%, leverage aprox. 9:1. Day winners held (I think there is no need to close and reopen in the same direction), day losers closed and reversed.

DIY Trading - An Art of Probability

Created a Trade Explorer to monitor the test. Enter/exit at London 00:00, 9 pairs, 1:1 leverage each, margin level near 5000%, first day running. Looks like it is not necessary to close the winners just to reopen them immediately in the same ...

Interesting idea, thank you for sharing PXchange. Testing it with lower leverage.

Hi David, I hope I am not annoying you with "yet another little trading puzzle": do you know if (or believe) there is an "ideal" (mathematical) share of profits to be earned by a person who trades other people's money on a profit ...

Hanover replies to PMs

Hi David, Thank you very much for the detailed reply. As I am a slow learner, it will take time for me to grasp it all. In the meantime, I'll keep trying to find my "ideal risk level" (if I have any) in small incremental steps from below. Thanks ...

Hanover replies to PMs

Hi Hanover, Your math background is much better than mine so I was wondering if you could kindly help me with this little (?) trading puzzle: suppose I had a trading method that could produce 60% wins on a 1:1 risk/reward ratio. It may be shown that ...

Interesting read..

Rob Booker

Hi, I am using the exponential decay of the probability of a certain drawdown (I believe exponential is a good fit) to (try to) create a positive expectancy (average 1% return per cycle with 1 to 1.5% probability of hitting a stop out of 30% - so ...

Regulators should not try to "protect" traders from themselves of from market risk. They should strive to protect them against FRAUD. I think they are a bunch of liars, this is just to suck more money in.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I installed this one for test too. It is the same pack (version 4.00 Build 1045 3 Feb 2017). It works with one server only, so you cannot connect two brokers. For me it would be interesting if there was a multi-broker version or some plug-in to make ...

Anyone tried FxPro's MT4 multi-terminal?

Hi meyoik, Agreed. I have an account with another broker, which I would like to be able to bring into the Multiterminal. This is a problem.

Anyone tried FxPro's MT4 multi-terminal?

I am taking a look at it. Downloaded and partially configured. Looks fine so far. Probably will start trading through it this week. FxPro terminal will work only on FxPro accounts. Additionally, all accounts must have been assigned the same trade ...
