Hey there Breeze Great thread this one! I also trade GBPJPY exclusively and I also hedge to take advantage of the wild swings, using my own set of rigid rules on both money management and maximum number of positions etc. As you said earlier it ...

LOL, I understand completely what you're saying & yes, on occasion losers may come in bunches. They haven't yet but I'm more than prepared for it - I could've taken 7 losses in November & still come out in rofi because I banked over 7500 pips. As it ...

Happy New Year to you too IS Isn't it funny that I started where you are now, with a method of around a 30% success ratio where I was taking a lot of small losses and a few large winning trades. I too in the summer completely re-evaluated how I ...

Hi OK, stop loss is 1000 pips and limit is 50 pips. 1000 pips equates to 2% account balance. So far I have made over 650 trades on this system with only 2 losses. As I can get away with 5 losses per approx 100 trades to break even you can see I'm ...

Yup, yesterday was a pretty good one. Over 300 pips on the live account plus another 150 in the last few hours.

Well, the 2 stops were hit - it was the 3 limits that were ignored so instead of the 1700 pips I picked up, it should really have been 150. Still, I wasn't going to query it On three other trades Thursday I picked up 150 pips & a further 490 pips ...

Not meaning to sound harsh here but I posted every single trade I made for a year and I really haven't the time or inclination to do it any more. I've worked very hard putting in hours and hours of study to come up with a method that suits me. I ...

I think it's GMT (UK time) - at least it is when I log in. Unfortunately the zulutrade hasn't faired as well as my live account as I had a couple more longs opened when my live broker was still on holiday. Also, had trouble accessing zulu at times ...

Well done my friend — Sorry, I haven't visited your journal for a while but just wanted to say your money management is spot on and your discipline admirable As you say the system you use is very boring but that's what makes you ...

My Live Trading Journey

Hi A couple of points to note - firstly you do realise that Marketiva will allow you to open long and short positions on the same pair at the same time? When you see an unwind like we have seen these past few days there's nothing stopping you ...

the Survival of my $220.99

Well done S Days like today have the potential to be the most damaging to this method as we have now broken out of the 220/230 range that we have been in since around 11th/12th November. Damage limitation is what it's all about if you ...

I guess I was lucky — OK, this is what my broker did when it re-opened... Long 228.06 was closed at my s/l of 218.06 for -1000, despite price opening at 217.20's Short 223.13 with t/p 222.63 was closed at 217.25 for +588 Short 222.94 ...

my broker was open all through christmas, including christmas day but hasn't been open since last friday - i was aware of their closing times though so made necessary arrangements.

Are you getting feeds?

fxcm along with a fair few others will open at 2am est (about 7 hours from now). go to the fxcm site and click on 'holiday hours' kind regards steve

Are you getting feeds?

Hi S, I can't give you a complete answer on this but here are my assumptions... The whole system can only ever give an idea of how a method would perform as on zulu I'm not actually trading a real account. It automatically opens a lot size of one ...
