    The drop in the US Dollar is stunning

    This is not news worthy! Everyone knows that the dollar has to drop, it is not even considered a drop since it gained so much off risk aversion, the makret is just balancing out. The average volatility of the fx market is at historical highs, therefore the retracement will be faster than the...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    I always wondered why? Never heard a scientific explanation for it and this should not be the case since most cosmetics are made for white woman and tested on white woman. Either way nobody can defy gravity in the long run!

    also what %wins do you have on the first unit? Your seccond unit is not profitable since you make 100points 20% of the time and loose 60points 80% of the time which results in a net loss.

    Sorry, but struggling to make sense here, why two units? Why not one unit at 60pts risk? Unless, you going long and short the same pair at the outset? You have a very simple mistake going on here, but it makes no sense me telling you that unless i tell you the mistake. Maybe you know but just...

    Tell me Nash - have you ever considered the possibility that event driven trend trading can be done on an intra day basis explaining both our high rate of success and modest profit per trade? Also, regarding the above statement, if you are event trading, to make 20/30 points is too low, the...

    Firstly, i did not insult you. I asked you all trading questions none of my questions moved off that topic. You answered my question in the first paragraph but in a very sarcastic manner. Why can't you just answer my trading questions as i asked them? You say you do event trading, so explain...

    Lol......didn't know about the signal service. The wild west of fx......lol. There is actually a good paper floating around about whether banks have superior information regarding the directional movement of fx rates and it was found conclusively that none of the top fx trading Banks had any...

    If you made 95 trades and won 75 using fundamental analyses, then why is you trade winnings in points so low at 2000 points. Is your average win per trade around 20/30 points? This is very mean reversion.

    Well you may be the first fx fundamental or Macro trader in the world with a hit rate of over 75% accuracy. The reason is most fundy traders profit off trends which statistically give you a low w/l ratio whereas mean reversion traders have a high w/l with low profits per trade. You may be the...

    ( And no I cannot give much details on the model save for the fact that its discretionary not mechanical and we always trade trend.) Therefore you have no quantifiable edge. You have a model yet your trading is discretionary? Do you at least have a fundamental thesis? Soros gets out of his...

    New thoughts on use of Leverage

    You will loose how much you want too loose unless there is a liquidity crises. Leverage will not make you loose more than what you expect unless, again there is a liquidity crises. Retail fx traders really need to to study portfolio theory and risk modelling. If you dont know what the hell you...

    New thoughts on use of Leverage

    I was surprised that those traders did not understand what leverage exactly is. The issue is that you find guys going to read a book like the fall of LTCM and they hear popular hedge fund managers talking bad about leverage and then assume that leverage is bad. The truth is that leverage is only...

    New thoughts on use of Leverage

    You are correct but if you hold overnight positions, the more leverage you use the higher your rollover costs. I have 50% with broker, this is also safer way to do it if broker goes belly up, but calculate your roll over costs as well bu then again i trade through mb and they screw you on the...

    Thoughts on traders in AT championship

    The top 3 guys who are leading are all scalpers. The funny thing is that they trade eurgbp, with a stoploss of 28 to 30 points and a take profit of 5 points and that profit still needs to be reduced by the spread. The win loss ratio is around 91% to 9%. So the leader has taken 10 000 to about...

    Thoughts on traders in AT championship

    Its surprising that automated traders don't have anything to say on this topic, or am i missing something here. I have actually looked at these guys reports and found interesting reasons why their stuff would not work on real live trading i am sure others have found this as well.

    Thoughts on traders in AT championship

    I was looking through the results of the top traders on the ATC hosted by metatrader and their results are really good. Do you guys think this is a realistic indication of what these guys can do outside of the championship? Also why havent were heard anything amazing from past winners since if...
