Range Controlled Geometry

Quote from Maverick74:

So you are going to make no effort to put forth some integrity on this thread? This thread is basically P&R crap with some occasional currency trades thrown in? If that's the case, I'm going to ask moderators to pull the thread as it's going to become a running joke which it pretty much already has.

I have already communicated with the mods, so go right ahead, John, I dare ya!

Why do you think I have not pushed the complain button about your constant intrusions?

Don't like the thread, you and your P&R buddies unsubscribe and go elsewhere. In the meantime, I will continue to post. And maybe actually discuss trading without these constant interruptions.

Good, how about discussing your current position, down over 100 pips at the moment.

Quote from RCG Trader:

It sounds like you average down using a grid method, and I do not do this.

A 400 pip fed move and you are down 50%. I learned that during system development and I do not do that.

yes, you are clearly averaging down based on higher mathmatics. Perhaps, Range Controlled Geometry. I hear a lot of the kids are doing that today.

Fine, I'm tired of fighting with you. This is getting really old. You are down 100 pips. This trade is breaking out to the upside and your short. Where is your stop? Are you going to keep adding? What % allocation is this of your account at this point?

Stops are determined by price action. Since we do not know what that is in the future, I cannot say where my stop is. Price action is only good for the past.

% allocation is currently 4.

I will keep adding until my algo tells me it is time to begin unwinding my position.

I will be posting trades, John, not giving data points that can be pulled into a spread sheet, so I will not answer the % allocation question but once per trading campaign. I currently have two positions open that represent 4% of my account. That is all you will be getting there. Feel free to continue to watch how I either unwind this trade, or begin taking losses.

Again, if is getting old, ACD awaits your august presence.

You are funny.

It's not rocket science, and if I offended you in particular I apologize. I was just saying that I do not use a grid format to average down, I learned this awhile back when I got caught in a very nasty updraft. There was absolutely no pullback, none at all.

LOL that's rich.

Four cents?

"Unwinding" a 4% allocation trade in a $1 account?

well, to give some help here, there is a mathmatican who worked out a deal where you could play multiple games with a losing strategy and score a win.

What nobody wants to accept is, you need to die before it turns on you.

So, Until you are ready to bet on your death date, you will always be a loser.

I don't know why it is such a big deal. It's how all insurance companies do business.

Get with the acutarial tables and start betting on them.

Talk about an edge.

This journal will will show the entries, and exits of RCG. I trade spot fx.


The instrument I will be using is the CHFJPY until it falls off my list.

I have both a mean reverting as well as a trending strategy. This journal will chronicle the more risky of the two, the trending strategy.

Trade analysis will begin on 12/1/12.

This was the original post opening this journal and it seems to claim that exits and entries will be depicted and some analysis would occur. I assume that meant that the OP would discuss those entries and exits in some generalized but meaningful way.

Do I understand correctly that that analysis will be "withheld" because of something that another trader is doing or not doing in his own journal?

Apparently he considers it a worthy excuse not do anything he said he'd do.
