i think your right.... i work off of platforms in price to compute my risk per trade lets say you have 2000 to start in the account ill start at .5% per trade but it will be fixed so 2000*.5%= 10$ for the next 150-200 trades if price hits 3000 it will be another platform of 3000*.5% or 15$ for...

you have to find the right time of day... there is a short window sometimes when i can get it for 50pips or less.. but mostly i trader the higher timeframe.

Yes. % does provide maximum growth potential with those with quantifiable edges when used correctly. It is also a smoother curve. I guess it does depend on the person as well and also on the system. But i guess for me i would perfer to limit maximum growth for a more reliable slow growth...

the example was 1 to 1 and 50% or breakeven not included spread or commiss you lose with a % base MM were as with fixed you would BE. sure i could say that 1 to 2 at 50% would make money to... with a fixed back look again at the 1 to 2x at 50% your BE in % because 100 ... 50 ..100 1 loss...

whatever u want to do bud in my eyes it is.. as the example shows i can run number for ever at 50% 50% and 50% and it would only diminish the amount more.

should never use a % to begin with for lot sizing its bad MM.. i use fixed levels. its like saying you make 50% and lose 50% at 50% of the time.. people think for somereason you break even but look at how it works 100... 150...75 ... 1win then 1Loss 50% 100... 50... 75 .... 1Loss then 1...

i trade this usd/mxn ... i love it

eeth yes its possible I dont do it but i know people who do trading NONFARM PAYROLL releases. the real problem just like any trading style is figuring out the real moves sometime news will be released that may suprise but price acts opposite of what it should. It has to do with the Order...

good post but i think your forgetting the best reason to have mac .. the os is more stable no blue screens... no freezes.. and it uses memory in a more efficient way. Ive had mac for 3 years and i think i restart it once every 4 months or so because of the new patches.

i have the evaluation of windows 7 and it sucks .... i run mac leopard and vmware fusion 2 ontop.... i think windows when its run inside vmware fusion is actually more stable .... but even then compared it still isnt good

nope no gpb/usd trades for me today in the past 3 days... so you guys can keep your lube to yourselves.. tho i really would be fading this off the daily long if i did trade this.

struggling how to see that forex is a dead game now because of what this article says

im thinking its not... unless u magically post you got out at 1.61141.. your short against the swap... in a trend ... your about as anti trend as it gets.. not at a significant level at all.. not to mention this is a pin setup bar long now at 12:00 in direction of trend today

its very significant but income stream doesnt drive a pair as much as eco data... trading in direction of rate is like buying a house on a loan so you can rent it out for a profit or cover the cost of that loan.. its a more investment way to trade a pair.. for instance usd/mx since wat 02...

its the same the tick data just makes the entrance and exits more precise. I feel strongly that as you narrow done to smaller frames you loose efficiency.. you may be making good trade but eeking out small profits per trade. the ME is smaller... but as you raise timeframes stops get tighter...

there is a way to measure everything.. you can always normalize as well.. i havent got your email hope a can help.

couple of questions here... you posted 2:30 seems like it would have been good it probably moved against you 17 pips or so... then moved 100 pips+ down... so my question is 1. did you not move your stop into profit? 2. the trade was more than 140% over the previous legs distance ... how come...

how bad does that suck to be the man whose bad decisions brought down a 200+ year old bank.
