looks like someone read the thread about what 10 pips a day gets you... to the OP, maybe if you researched things yourself...e.g. read the "trading system" forum, experiment for yourself, etc. Asking questions like this will only lead to questions ...
Any system that generate only 10 pips/day?

I have to agree with: But also, if you're asking who's made 1mil, i think your expectations are largely outta whack. IMO, most newcomers seem to want the quick buck. Once you're comfortable working for the money and once you understand it won't come ...

I think we'll break resistance during the asian session tonight...the news for tomorrow will bring up recession concerns as well as oil and inflation concerns. As long as the fed doesn't raise rates, which i don't see happening, I'm waiting for the ...

I can't seem to find a good reason to sell at 107.5...unless he's trading a MA crossover on the 5min TF. I would hope his SL has already hit... I wish i would have been watching USDJPY. Earlier today it made a nice double bounce off a fib level. It ...

I believe that there are certain rules that are followed regardless of pair...S&R and price action seem to be universal.

ycomp, at this point i don't know whether you're agreeing with me or not. But in your rush to point out another's ignorance, you neglected my point. Can anyone hit the "buy" button and know it's a winner? NO. People can have a reasonable ...
what's the purpose of an account, anyway?
- howdytest replied Jun 22, 2008
It's simple risk:reward... eg. 1:4 or 5%:20% In a 100k account, i'll make 20k, but only lose 5k. So if for every 3 losers, i win 1, i'm still profitable by 5k. Lets improve performance: if for every 3 winners i lose 3, i still am profitable by 45k. ...

Short term, i think we'll see 1.9500 easy, but longer term, i think we'll see a range develop between 1.95 and 2.00.

About real estate... I'd rather invest when everyone gets excited about the economy again. Whether we go into another depression or not, people with the money will wait it out until it's safe. Just like forex, trying to predicting the market will ...
Going for broke
- howdytest replied Jun 22, 2008
imo, going broke involves being greedy and stupid. Whether forex involves either is more of a personal assessment than a statement... However, I don't see forex as a ticket to "hit it big". I like forex for the same reason i like strategy games: the ...

Try being less conservative...at one point i even got rid of my SL all together, but my first loser took any profits i had. What i do now is look at all my charts. I determine levels of support and resistance and place trades accordingly. If i put a ...

expat is right. Simplicity is key. When i first started many years ago, i thought i could find a mix of indicators that would be my "holy grail". I would put 2 or 3 indictors on one chart, i would put indicators of indicators...but those only worked ...
A question for the wiser and older here!
- howdytest replied Jun 17, 2008
If i understand your question right, you're looking for the beta of a portfolio. As long as the correlations are to one currency, it's just the average of the correlations. url That should get you started.
Statistical arbitrage, hedge, or bluffing myself?

I see forex in the same light. But that's my philosophy and how i see the market. For your purposes, could you not overlay a SPOT price of the EURO and a SPOT price of the USD? From the way you sound, it looks like you want to derive strength of a ...

It sounds like you're looking for your stoch to not only operate as a ranging indicator, but as a breakout/trend indicator. No indicator can indicate everything...if that makes sense. It also sounds like you're looking for your EA to trade ...

I actually find it very exciting. If you find it boring, why are you doing it? Not to mention the fact that it takes maybe 30min to 1 hour to analyze everything and place trades. After that, you can go do something exciting.
