Do you teach? ;)

If you're doing so well with currencies, why not just stick with it?

Thanks for posting the entry. What's your target?

So if you're using 30:1 leverage, you're actually risking a lot more than 5% to 10% a trade, right?

Baggerlord, Would you mind annotating a chart with a recent trade of yours that explains your entry/exit/profit taking/how you sized the position? I know this is a lot to ask, but this would really help me understand your trades even more. I'm enjoying this a lot and hopefully you can learn...

Sounds like you are having fun and doing great! Congrats. Doubling your account (even if you started from $50) is impressive, since you're risking 5%-10% a trade. How long did that take you? Also, how wide are your stops and how long do you hold trades for usually? Lastly, have you ever...

Baggerlord, I'm interested to read your new adventures with Forex. A few questions: 1) What timeframes do you look at, and what time frame do you enter trades from? 2) How often do you check your positions and adjust stops? 3) How much do you risk per trade on your $50 account? I like...

Any thoughts on this site? www.busi.com ? Looks interesting, would appreciate comments.

Psychology + Capitalization in order to trade the system

I would personally love to know your real time results. I'm not as interested in your system rules. :) Basically you're going for a high win% system with low expectancy. 1 loser knocks out a streak of winners. Lots of transaction costs. It's a virtual casino. I've designed systems like...

Having tested hundreds of systems, I've seen systems such as yours... Let me ask you questions that may lead you to your own discovery of the system's soundness: How big are your losses? Are you using stops? And finally, are you holding losers a *lot* longer than winners? Good luck and...

Suppose I'm learning to play chess, and I'm chatting with fellow players on a messageboard. I post a message asking for help on my technique. I wonder out loud, "How can I master this game?" Suddenly, a man comes along, telling us that he is 70 years old. Then he tells us that he's one of...

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster... I'm finally posting because of the recent influx of Jack Hershey posts. Having been around the newsgroup/messageboards block a few times myself, I've seen Jack's posts sprout like mushrooms in every forum. After following numerous threads...
