MIND THE GAP!!! Em Geral Nov 07, 2016 at 02:35

It is demo. Just look at the left upper corner of the screenshots...Maybe we could be invited to a plush demo party held on a demo luxury yacht, entertained by foxy demo chicks while sipping demo Dom Perignon... And of course paid for with demo dollars... 😀

@patrickx Finally, just a friendly advice. Should you decide to look after serious investors, start a showcase reference account with the largest deposit you can afford at a highly reputable broker, on which account the DD stays belows -10% (without using Custom Dates).

@patrickx Yes, you are right, my math was off. So I just wonder why haven't you invested more in the strategy instead of withdrawing your deposit?

@patrickx You are right Patrick: 37% Monthly Profit with -35% max. DD... So it is not that bad, after all. I apologize.But yeah, I would hide the -35% DD... Why...?Because I would not invest $500k in a strategy with -35%, i.e. -$175,000 potential drawdown... Would you...?Why did I mention $500k investment? Because with $500k and 37% monthly gain I could profit about $185k per year and after paying income taxes, I would have left with about $120k net profit per year, i.e. $10k a month. It would not make me ""rich"", but it would give me a decent standard of living in the we...

@patrickx Why not showing the account's ENTIRE trade history...?Maybe because the Max. DD is more than 3x higher then the Average Monthly Profit...? Isn't any other way to make this ratio looking better than limiting viewable trade history...?http://www.myfxbook.com/files/FxMasterGuru/Mick.JPG

5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) Em Traders Experientes Nov 02, 2016 at 23:42

SERIOUSLY...? REALLY...?Which is the ""interesting approach"" part of it...? Maybe the ""protecting the account as a primary goal"" - as mentioned?http://www.myfxbook.com/files/FxMasterGuru/RMM_J2.JPG

This is a revival attempt of a thread I started back in 2013... It is interesting to check out all those strategies which had claimed to fulfill the requirements over the past 3.5 years...

Obvious tick scalper (and possibly arbitrage) strategy...Such strategies are destroyed by B-booking brokers' ""virtual dealer plug-ins"" sooner or later. Usually sooner.And unfortuantely they simply do not work with real ENC/STP A-booking brokers, as their spreads are not "padded" with thin liquidity as seen at pseudo-ECN brokers (incl. ICM, Pepperstone).If such tick-scalper strategies worked so well with real ECN A-booking brokers at 588.08% average monthly profit and with only -9% max. DD, who on Earth would be selling such an EA instead of betting the house...

Robotic Trading VS Manual Trading Em Traders Iniciantes Nov 02, 2016 at 02:52

You are right Carlos, if one has the ability to remain cool in the decisive moments and make the right choices:1. Hold...?2. Liquidate...?3. Add...?4. And when to do that...?Even after reading numerous trading psychology books, I had to come to the conclusion that when I see 3-digit profits and losses vibrating on my platform, I just cannot make the right deicision. (Although I am OK handling two-digit vibrations on the P&L, but I would not make a living from such conservative trades.)So I have become a "Robo Trader" as reflected by my Avatar picture on the left. Since then trad...

Very slow VPS Em Geral Nov 02, 2016 at 02:34

Yes, CNS VPS seems to be the most cost effective. I have been using them for about 5 years on and off as my secondary VPS. I have tried many cheaper alternatives, but eventually I have always ended up with CNS.Currently I am live testing UltraFx VPS because of their hyperfast (0.3 ms) connection to my new UK-based broker (VARIANSE) and also because my automated strategy is somewhat speed sensitive.

You are right about that, Rob.It takes time to realize - and appreciate - that surviving is already a major success.

How to build a good trading strategy? Em Geral Nov 01, 2016 at 04:59

I suggest browsing ForexFactory.com and picking up some good books:1. Market Wizards (by Jack Schwager)2. The New Market Wizards (by Jack Schwager)3. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (by Edwin Lefèvre)4. Trading in the Zone (by Mark Douglas)Then get ready for your 10,000 hours of screen time. Why 10,000 hours...?That is another book by Malcolm Gladwell: 'Outliers: The Story of Success' Or as an alternative: If you can't beat them, join them...

Since you asked:1. Have some skin in the game: INVEST IN A REAL ACCOUNT before soliciting clients and risking THEIR REAL FUNDS. (It is easy to risk demo dollars...)2. Be transparent with trade history.

Very slow VPS Em Geral Oct 30, 2016 at 22:22

$180 total. My tester VPS is $14 a month and my primary trading VPS is $120, which is physically located at the London Datacenter within 0.3 ms ping distance from my broker's server. It just does not get better than that.

TWICE IN AS MANY WEEKS SMALL TRADERS ARE MOCKED BY THE BANKS Em Geral Oct 30, 2016 at 13:56

The above link shows a -99.99% DD...So it is either:1. A really shitty strategy (-99.99% drawdown will qualify for that) with a lucky streak since March of 2016or 2. If a different strategy had been used since that major DD in March, then the trader should have switched to a clean, new account. So the problem is NOT with MyFxBook's reporting accuracy. Just my 2 cents...

Very slow VPS Em Geral Oct 30, 2016 at 12:37

You are right about that, Rob: "always get what you pay for"...I have learnt it with a few VPS providers the ""hard way"". Since then I don't feel bad about spending $180 a month for premium VPS services. I consider it as a cost of running a business; the same way I look at my losses.

TWICE IN AS MANY WEEKS SMALL TRADERS ARE MOCKED BY THE BANKS Em Geral Oct 29, 2016 at 12:57

I am sure that SaltyWaters' 47% is not totally random. Also, potential DD - before going big - is another issue.

Very slow VPS Em Geral Oct 29, 2016 at 04:18

With a live account and higher stakes I suggest investing into a fast, reliable and stable VPS with low latency cross-connection to the broker. Of course, they are more expensive, but it is worth to pay the premium price. (A crashing poor VPS can cost more in trading loss than a year subscription for a high-end VPS.)My favorites: CNS VPS (with <2 ms ping) for New York and UltraFx VPS (with <0.5 ms ping) for London Datacenter brokers.

Robotic Trading VS Manual Trading Em Traders Iniciantes Oct 29, 2016 at 00:57

Fully agree with the above. Toxic emotions (greed and fear) and lack of discipline usually destroy even the best manual traders. So the "only" problem with robots is not being able to react to unexpected change in fundamentals. Hmmm... In this case how about letting the robot trade only the most quiet 3 hours: the pre-Tokyo hours, when the statistical chance of unexpected changes in fundamentals is close to zero...? Curious? Then check out the results of 3 live accounts in my profile...
