We're in a clear intermediate up trend in the Euro, but you are welcome to short. :D

Nope, no hedging (I talked a lot about how many fall prey to this "hedging" term applied to forex markets in "TA Junk Science" thread recently) and no stop-loss tweaks. Plain and simple, either I make some pips or lose no more than 12 pips. :)

Definitely agree on the point that 10,000 hours spent does not mean they were spent wisely. There is "practice" (one may try to break the brick wall with his head for 10,000 hours and not succeed any much beyond severe damage to himself) and there is deliberate practice, when what you do is...

From the risk management point of view related to my approach, which is - never lose more than 12 (well, let's make it 13 accounting for some slippage) pips per trade, sane leverage would be in the range of 10:1-20:1 what would make the risk per trade approximately 1.5-2.5%. So if we take $2K...

Whatever you do I would strongly recommend to start with the small amount, which you are comfortable to risk to find out if my signals are suitable for you. They are short-term and sensitive to EURUSD spread, so make sure your broker offers as tight as you can find. If everything goes OK for...

Sure. If you google my nickname, you'll find plenty of information on how exactly I trade. :) Shortly: price action, mostly intraday reversals and pullbacks.

Haha... let's hope so. :) At least they sure know I put my own $ on stake with the same trades now. :)

Yea, everything remains the same: losses are always cut to ~ 12 pips maximum etc. The only difference is trades are automatically copied from one of my real accounts and thus I don't have to enter them separately, which was quite a distraction given the short-term nature of my trading...

Well, brokers provide execution services, just as Zulutrade does too. It's providers who make or lose followers money. :) The other question is everyone who trades or follows a trader is interested in as cheap and as quality service as possible and thus it's illogical to stay with brokers who...

Thanks. After some experimenting break it seems I have found a solution. Hooked my "CornixForex II" (http://www.zulutrade.com/TradeHistoryIndividual.aspx?pid=118228) provider account to my own MT4 account via order/trade copy EA and now everything is done with a single button for me, my...

Surf, please... These "you can't do it" "you can't afford it" will not affect me ever, just telling you in advance so that you don't spend the virtual ink. :) BTW, what makes you think I am an educational site/book author? I have published works (not books, just a couple of articles), but in...

Now your mission is to be a savour of the retail trading... come ooon, Surf, that's already too much! :)

Yes, guess I'm an advanced beginner in your terms. Became one soon after our talks with you back in 2007. :) So far Dow theory applied to different market fractals seems to be the best thing I could find really.

Hmm... I just traded it. Is that OK too? :)

This chart was posted on Stocktwits in real time along with the words "buy signal", so no Surf, I am not that naive to post charts after the fact in your thread hoping you would believe them. :) Why no combine for me? Because I am a big boy already and this "you can't, prove it" teenage pick...

Not hindsight, dear Surf, not hindsight. :)

if range is not tradable enough due to noise, that's chop. :)

You should understand, that you don't really "hedge" anything. It's just a fancy term someone used to sound cool, drop it off. What you do is open and close trades in one of the pairs used, through the synthetics (opening and closing trades in cross pairs). When you realize it, you will...

One more remark: you played simple EURUSD long twice, for a profit, good. But you paid a lot more spread for that by doing it through the synthetics. You don't need it, EURUSD is liquid enough, if you use reasonable stops on your trades, you will trade well and pay just 1 pip EURUSD spread for...

Thanks. Now let's see what you did. S EURUSD + L GBPUSD = S EURGBP. Add another L EURGBP and you're flat. I assume you entered all three at the same time and size of course. If not that makes calculation a bit more complex, but doesn't change the principle so we'll ignore it. When you closed...
