Great thread Abok.... So which EA are you liking the most so far? If you had to suggest only one for a trader to test, which would you recommend? Thanks

I never claimed to be an "experienced trader"... obviously I'm not, or I wouldn't be asking this question. I've been demo trading for 8 months and have done fairly well at it, and no, it is not a "serious" sum. I'm going to be depositing $2,000.

What's Better: Regulated Market Maker or Unregulated ECN?

I think you're missing the point of the thread. I already have an account where I employ a traditional approach (1% of account per trade). This is meant to be an experiment that involves hyper-aggressive risk. So starting with $200, you would trade ...

Hyper-Aggressive Risk Strategies

I have a method I've been somewhat successful with. The problem is it's a scalping method that targets 10 pips per trade. To go from $200 to $400 in 10 pips would require insane leverage. Like 1,000:1 correct? Not sure I can find that with a ...

Post your charts. To have that many losing trades chances are you're doing something wrong.

Magic 5 - five pips only

Please read the whole thread! The subject of stop loss has been discussed already. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to that (not by tk5's words anyway). I would set it at either the high/low of the previous candle or 10-15 pips. Just ...

Magic 5 - five pips only

Fair enough. Admittedly, I don't know a lot about EAs and what optimizations may or may not mitigate this kind of scenario.

Magic 5 - five pips only

This exact trade, to me, exemplifies why an EA may not work so well for this. There are "gray area" considerations that the human brain must consider before taking a trade. I've lost on this exact setup before, and what I've done since is implement ...

Magic 5 - five pips only

What is your suggestion for someone trying to trade the NY session on a phone with an MT4 app that does not have HA candles? I don't have access to my computer given that I'm at work all day. If you were me, would you trade the NY session (more ...

Magic 5 - five pips only

Thanks for starting the thread tk5.... So for I'm 12 out of 14 trading this approach on demo (and one of the losses was because I screwed up and traded during news, otherwise 13 of 14). Going to demo a little more than try it out on my live account ...

5 PIPS - Only Five

Tk5- i noticed you type "sth" a lot in your posts? What are you talking about???

5 PIPS - Only Five

Wouldn't this be a bad entry though, as price hasn't really closed above the 5EMA at the point where you get in?

5 PIPS - Only Five

Oops forgot that topic already came up... It's been a while!

Open Scalping Strategy

Well, I started trading this system again after a bit of a break. Should've made 10 pips on EU, but order was cancelled (error BV:SL) which I think means that my SL of 10 pips fell within the spread. Thanks Oanda does anyone else use them and run ...

Open Scalping Strategy

Yes, I draw the lines. There's no indicators with this approach.

Anyone Familiar with Backtesting Programs?

Bad idea. Martingale strategy will recoup your losses some of the time, but when it doesn't it virtually wipes out your account.

Lazy trading

Sorry guys for not seeing all the prior posts before asking my last question. The displace -1 means that the"prior" bar of the histogram actually corresponds to the current candle. Not sure why one would set it like that. The tendency is to look at ...

Lazy trading

Made my first trade with this on E/U off the 1HR chart. I placed a short, pretty much right on the hour as the Non-lag MA indicator showed a red bar for the prior hour.... then 5 minutes later that prior red bar changed to green??? Is it necessary ...

Lazy trading

So what exactly is the need for the 1 period MA if the rules say that you trade based off the MA histogram at the bottom?
