Hello boys and girls. Let's debate something... I know all the books and all the teachers claim that you should risk less than what you earn per trade and that if you risk $2 to get $1 is a losing proposition... But is it so? What if this is actually an edge. Having tons of...

well, depends on what strategy you use. for instance i trade the central pivot point depending on a day-to-day basis, so there can be days without any trade at all, i even had weeks without a trade. i'm picky :)

and thinking that this situation will never happen to you is MADNESS :)

Hey. Thought I should mention this. Trading 8 pairs or more intraday with a good setup and trade management rules is fine, BUT... ...The more the opportunities, the larger the risk and allocating more than 3-5% (even this amount is large) when trading more than 8 pairs is an attempt to...

i also have one technical question to ask you, if it's not too late :) For intraday trading what type of charting would be more suitable bar/candle charting OR p&f/kagi (generally the "smoothed" charts). My personal opinion is that since a 5 minute bar's Open and Close is irrelevant and...

yes, but in order to become a big winner, you sometimes lose it all ....

and to complete mark77418's post: it's also like the people buying those bigger penis solutions because they think that will get them better sex... ...burp :) happy new year guys!!!!

well, let's take a simple setup: - weekly macd histogram rising - daily 8.3.3 stochastic below 20 entry at 1/2 ATR above each setup bar (so trail a buy stop) stop 1/2 ATR contingent below each setup bar trail to breakeven as soon as price goes half of what you risked exit by trailing...

you too, dude

thanks reaver for your insight. what i originally meant to draw as coordinates were: 1) number of potential trades for a given setup in a year / number of distinct FX pairs or instruments 2) account size and potential percentage return trading EOD. to me it looked like, unlike...

is any money worth it? don't think so!

optioncoach: i understand what you are saying, but i was referring to the account size. i may be wrong on my conclusions here, but this is the way i see things...

heeey! i now see you have edited your post :)) ok. i consider a small account as being something below 50k usd.

oh sorry. the wine plays tricks on me. i said 3 weeks. you said one week. hihi :) my bad.\

holding for 3 weeks must mean you leave a lot of room to your trades.... i am referring to position trading the fx just as you would do with stocks. EOD data.
