But anyway, do you guys really think im just lucky?
say that the chance to win is 50%. so the chance to win 14 times in a row is 0.5^14=0.0000061 . This doesn't however take into account sizes of losses and winners, i can however assure you that my stop loss is always between 7-10pips

But really. Do all of the people here really believe that it was 100% luck? No skill?
And ive a different perspective when it comes to leverage. 2500 dollar is just a portion of the money that ive put aside for trading. Say that i have 10 million dollar, then 2.5 lot is a tiny amount. A 10pip loss, would be 0.000025% of my money.
I think people here are focusing too much on the leverage. What really counts are the pips gained, which is the real performance.

I am always curious about these threads and ideas and how they evolve over time.
So how is it going drasfs? Still 90% winners even with this crazy market we are having? How did you adapt (in case you had to)?

Quote from drasfs:
my stop loss is always 7-10 pips, so i wont lose more than that. And by the way, i just transfered a small portion of my investment money into that account, just to test out my new trading strategy,so i wouldnt say im risking my whole fortune on every trade.
My bad, ive should told you a bit more.

Quote from TraderZones:
anyone who thinks winning percentage means anything is a rank newbie.
What is your SHARPE??? Your PROFIT FACTOR??? That means something!
If you have 15 winners ranging from $25 to $1000, what happens when you have a $10,000 sudden loss?
You just hold on until it becomes at least slightly positive. It is called "Hold&Hope." either now or in the future, it blows up
You have done absolutely nothing of value. 15 trades? Woo Hoo! Useless...
