fx markets are full of professionals and the commission is higher than intraday stocks in case of hifger than 10 leverage. I have no capital to trade fx less than 10 leveage. I have no edge to fight against banks. small stock markets with one or two liquid stock in each can be more prpfitable.

I get interested to trade again. THE FIRST TIMe EVER I FIND a system and prooved to WORK even with comission accounted too!!! Intraday open range break out for entry, but exit is small secret of mine (not the original EOD close). There are some EQ with good results both in and out...

About coin flipping. I use it to test simple trading system permissions performance vs to the random noise. E.g. Pivot support or resistance can be tested to know, how strong barriers are that. You buy et fix price (e.g. support+0.1 ATR(7), sell buyprice+/- ATR(7). compare this win/lost...

Except when you going to sleep while your position is opened.

just think it over. no 100% win trading system exit. Trades are executed in x% success (win) rate. You need to adjust your trading position to your acrual trading win/loss rate to avoid burned out and maximised profit. Money management more important then trading rules! I think, trading...

Depend from the market and timeframe: 1. liquid market with hours our above time frame I use hard stop to protect my self from waiting too mutch to exit. 2. Scalping (less than 15 min time frame) I keep contol on hand with no hard stop to exit when I feel to whant. Continuous market...

thanks all your response. One of you said to take into account risk/reward. It is helped me a lot. I need to take this more seriously, because I usually stoped by pattern(broken support), not by profit/lost target. I traded to mechanicaly, even for scenarios when the pattern are to narrow...

"I think you are looking for answers in the wrong area. You are seeking answers in logic and reasons area of your intellect for creating a strategie that will give you profits. " I ready to accept that trading for living is an ART. e.g. nobody can teach you to draw or paint a picture like...

I understand what you mean. But i point out, that i m not a spontenaus trader. I followed strategies. Mainly bolinger breakouts, and scaling up for trends. Sometimes I scalped against on a 1min or 5 min charts to support/resistance. I have stops and targets. But i m loosing on a longer track...

"If you have to ask on ET for help to decide if you should quit, can you work out what that means?" I m living from my job, not from trading. Trading is interesting to me, because: trends and analysis are similar to my job (engineer), quick response to trends are also similar to my job...

First, I spend ~2 years with stock trading (even intradeys) , more than 150 trades excecuted. Result: -25%. Without commision is: -2%. I have read many books, tested many own and others strategy by Amibroker. Papertrade by oanda.com. I cannot win:( What I can learned: 1. ATR and...

I wanna sell one of my trading book about Bolinger breakout strategy: Philippe Cahen: Dynamic Technical Analysis. Give quotation pls.

I tested pivot S/R on hourly and daily basis, and it is a bit safer to buy on S or sell on R, but the edge is very very small. Let's say you buy at a certain pivot level, an sell on +/- 50% retracement (which comes earlier you will sell) the next resistance. You wiil have ~52-55% chance to...

Hi kiwiautotrader, I am also an engineer (examining NOT PRICE trends full time) and a PHP programmer. A have started to trade actively for 1 years (over 100 trades over right now). the last 1-2 month I back tested several strategies, and any of them not working. I m on the way to give...

How to determine the edge? One option is to comparing your back test result to random buy/sell results. I found the buying at pivot support level and selling +/- 50% retracement from the buying has ~2-5% higher probability to win against the random buying.

There is one Holy Grail is the doubling up betting, until the winning. It is need infinite amount of cash if the luck goes against you for a long period.

I think BB is comprehensive indicator, because u can see the S/R,, volatility, price action in one shot. The BB curve give important signs for the dynamics of the price actions (running or slowing down) too. Problem is thet hard to implement it in a semi or full automated system. I...

avoid system pitfalls: -curve fitting, -lags on real trades, I think good systems considers: -trending or ranging the entire market -S/R levels -recent volatility -managing risk/reward ratio below 1. -impact of volume -confirming the system is profitable on min. 200 out- of sapmles data.

One of my skill is the programming (PHP, VB, JAVA) also. 1) I think you should get a good trading/testing SW (amibroker, metatrader, etc.). 2) Learn some TA (chart and bar patterns, indicators, support-resistance, moneymanagement, trailing stop, using different time frames). 3)...
