My Live auto trade setup

Quote from auslanco:

My personel Idea is if I cant get a return of atleast 10% per month, I dont see a point in trading forex. I might as well invest in much more conventional low risk investment streams such as stocks or managed funds.

your expectations are very high ... I would be very happy with a consistent 5% per month ... make sure to attend the pips school: http://www.babypips.com/school/ if you want to expand your activities in fx world .... "leverage the killer": http://www.babypips.com/school/leverage_the_killer.html
 
Guys,
There are crossed wires here. This user with 10k account deposit has been granted 100:1 maximum leverage by the broker that we use , FXDD.
The portfolio they have created is not close to this:
ATR Channel GBP/USD 0.1 X 4 (40k)
ATR Chanel USD/CHF 0.1 X 4 (40k)
EspritFx Eur/Jpy 0.2 X 2 (40k)
EspritFx GBP/USD 0.2 x 2 (40k)
Quants - MP40 GBP/JPY 0.1 X 4 (40k)
Ubertrading Eur/Jpy 0.1 x 6 (60k)
Ubertrading Gbp/Jpy 0.1 x 6 (60k)
Ubertrading Gbp/Usd 0.1 x 6 (60k)

Worst case scenario, if every signal provider in his/her portfolio had max positions on all trades simultaneously, the client would have $380,000 in open position exposure, 38:1 approximately (not allowing for margin variation for different pairs).

38:1 is still considerably high, although it is possible that this level would never be reached, many of these systems are selective entry and not "always in market".
 
Thanks fx-auto.

Now I can sleep little better after FX245 got me all worried during the weekend... :)
Iam going to keep the same portfolio but add another $5000 to my account to bring down the portfolio leverage.
 
Hi,
It tells you on the platform portfolio builder what your leverage is after you construct your portfolio.
See screengrab.

No probs Fx245. It was my fault quoting you the wrong leverage due to my lack of knowledge about the difference between the broker leverage and the portfolio leverage.

I sure will update my performance everyweek on this thread.

great report - great results.
how do you calculate the "Maximum Total active/used leverage" ?

thanks.
 
Hi FX245,
Thanks for the compliment.


[how do you calculate the "Maximum Total active/used leverage" ?]

I calculate the maximum open lots at any givn time. This can be done on the "history" section of your FXDD-Auto platform or by monitoring the live platform 24/5 as I do.

maximum total number of lots opened/active for that period was 11 mini lots ( $110000).
