I traded dollar cad some this week. Looks pretty good. I will spend some time this weekend doing a little historical work on it. The stop right now is thirteen pips at 20% so I can double the lot size for the same percentage risk. It seems to act ...

You have to be careful. You want to see the percent gain in EQUITY. The balance can be positive but have negative equity due to unrealized losses. The safest way is to use a provider who makes open trades public. No one is going to have their ...

Signal service skewing results: Is this normal?

Interesting development. I find that I am worrying about the stats in my new account as I trade. Normally I don't even think about win-loss ratio or win size vs. loss size. This is a whole new set of mental challenges to overcome. I knew there would ...

True for the explorer here on FF. I don't think its true for the other site. I want a completely transparent and full history of a clean account in case I decide to go the provider route later. The date back feature on the FF explorer allows people ...

FX book is telling me I have a 1.42% chance of losing ten percent of my account and it would take 19 consecutive losing trades. Is that good? I am liking these analytics they are better than Tradestation. Lots of information.

It would Steve but its getting close to London close and the markets are really thin due to Easter. Many people are out of town for spring break with the kids. Next week will probably be more of the same. Not sure how big Easter is over in the UK ...
