5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) en Corredores Experimentados Jan 09, 2014 at 13:56

You are right, Steve. I am aware that the issue is more complex.Most (if not all) Forex retail traders are in this "business" with the goal of making a living. And not just an "average" living, but a good and generous living (nice house[s], cool car[s], trendy clothes, exotic trips, trophy wife AND all of these: FOREVER). To be able to achieve that 1k, 5k, 20k, 50k but even 100k accounts will not be enough. Not even closely. Just think about it. Maybe with a 500k-to-1M USD account and 50% (STABLE) net annual return (which is DOUBLE of the performance of the best private fu...

With smaller accounts it may be OK to tolerate larger DDs (especially if it happens with your own strategy). But with large 100k-500k or 1M USD client accounts a 20% DD is PSYCHOLOGICALLY untolerable for most investors.Considering the fact that the most successful hedge funds make 30-40% per year for their investors with less than 5% DD, it shows that "BIG MONEY" prefers lower risk, even if the profits are only 3-4% per month. Otherwise these hedge funds would increase their risk and make 300-400% profits per year with 50% DD. But they don't.I have followed FxAmplified's rise...

5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) en Corredores Experimentados Jan 08, 2014 at 23:49

I guess "superscalper" is gone forever (he has unregistered from MyFxBook). Either his strategy has crashed or it has become so profitable with large investors that he does not need to advertise it here.

5% average monthly profit for at least 2 years (with less than 25% max. DD) en Corredores Experimentados Jan 07, 2014 at 23:55

The question remains:Can you show a LIVE (i.e. real) account showing at least 5% average monthly profit for at least 1 year AND with less than 20% max. DD?

Do you have a winning EA? en Programación Jan 07, 2014 at 23:38

Sorry to disappoint you, but -47% DD on MyFxBook (even -20% DD on HotForex PAMM) is simply too much for any serious investor. Investors freak out even at -10% DD. Seriously.You really have to be below 10% DD for RETAIL investors, and definitiely below 5% DD for PROFESSIONAL investors to be taken seriously.I don't say that your strategy is not good, but you should consider running a forward test (at least a showcase account) at a much lower risk setting to make it appealing for serious (i.e. professional) investors.______________________________________________________Click on "Vouch&q...

Could you please give us a link to your LIVE account's MyFxBook page showing the performance of your Nobel prize candidate strategy?Thanks!

Come on...! By trading DEMO accounts you are cheating yourself. If you want to recruit investors by trading a DEMO account, well, your intention is more than cheating yourself only. Any experienced trader knows that demo accounts are practically useless.GET REAL, BE A MAN(!) and open a 100 USD cent account. To risky...?

Come on...! Another DEMO fighter...If the developer does not have enough trust in his own strategy to test it on a real account (100 USD), well, it tells the whole story...Save your money, and do not buy anything run on a demo account! Not only because the developer has no trust in his own strategy, but because the real trading environment (liquidity, slippage, execution delays, etc.) usually kills these strategies.

Yeah! Lets rent a DEMO yacht and have a DEMO party with DEMO Dom Perignon and DEMO babes...!!**** SHOW US THE REAL MONEY on a REAL ACCOUNT!! ****My two cents: If ithis strategy were reproducable with real money, then the "master" were having a NEW YEAR PARTY right now on a REAL yacht, with REAL Dom Perignon and REAL babes... And his EA would be in the safe of a Swiss Bank... :o)

Too yound EA and too DEMO...If you trust your EA even a little bit, you should test it on a small live account (100 USD?) in a real trading environment...

Come on! Another DEMO fighter... If a trader does not have the trust in his own strategy to run it on a LIVE account even with 100 USD, then it tells the whole story...On the other hand, YES, I agree with this statement: "Profit factor > 3, Winning > 70%, Max DrawDown < 15%, Risk:Reward > 1.5 , Gain >100% is good." But I need to add that such a strategy should be running:1. On a LIVE account.2. For at least 6 months.3. At a regulated, mainstream broker.and4. Monthly Profit/Max.DD ratio should be: 2:1 (or better)(Actually I am following such a strategy fulfilling all t...

47% DD...? Yes, it is possible it earn money by many different ways, but what is the risk of the capital?Most serious investors run for the exit at 5-10% DD... not to mention 47%...

Is forex gambling? en Corredores Experimentados Dec 18, 2013 at 16:08

It depends.1. If you ask the vast majority of people (95%) who cannot make a living on Forex: Yes, they say Forex is gamble.2. If you ask the minority (5%), who can make a stable living on Forex: They will say, it is not gamble (see my previous comment).The conclusion: It depends on the perspective, like in case of the sledge dogs. The first dogs see the beautiful scene of the snow covered plains. Well the rest of them can see only the butt of the dogs in front them. Big difference and each would tell you a different story about being a sledge dog.Another example can be the description of an e...

ForPipSake 1 minute scalper EUR/USD en Estrategias Dec 16, 2013 at 05:40

Yes, Thalantas is absolutely right. Slippage and execution delays are HUGE FACTORS for scalpers. Any demo statistics for a scalper are practically useless.I wonder why this strategy has not been forward tested on a LIVE account - even on a very small account...

Price Action+Scalper en Estrategias Dec 15, 2013 at 10:50

Yeah, powerful... Come on!1.3 pips/trade Expectancy! It means that if your spread is >1.3 pips, then it is a LOSER strategy. Since no commission was calculated it must be a Standard account and Standard accounts' spread is ALWAYS higher than 1.3 pips.Got it..??? Congratulations!

Yeah, yeah... it is not a "text-book" Martingale stategy, but it is definitely a GRID strategy. For example: On December 11th at 19:59 the strategy has opened 16(!) BUY positions within 1 minute at different prices. What is it if not a GRID? Well, the long-term outcome of grid strategies is well-known...The other concern is that this strategy may have some ARBITRAGE component: lots of "0 second" trades with 10-20 pips profits on December 12th. Simply there is no way you can profit 10-20 pips within ZERO SECONDS other than using arbitrage. Good luck with cashing arbitrage pr...

Very nice comment! I agree with all of it, except for this sentence: "with gambling the odds are always against you".Just look at the PRO Poker players on World Poker Tour. Mostly the same people make the final tables. Yes, they are gamblers and they gamble, but they have a certain EDGE over their opponents.It is the same with Forex: you have to have a SOLID EDGE over your opponents to belong to the 5%, who make it. Without that edge, you are really-really just gambling and belong to the 95% providing a generous income for the 5% who have an edge.
