There was not much to be seen. I took a look before the system was marked private and:- it was a DEMO account- it had 2 days of history- used multiple trades in a basket, with lot sizes which I call Crazy Martingale: 0.02, 0.03, 0.06, 0.41

That worked, thank you, I added it to my watchlist.I like that you have your lot sizes public, and, with the exception of Gold trades, the size of you trades is pretty constant (0.03 - 0.05), i.e. no Martingale is involved.I also see that quite often you average down, so I must ask these questions:- do you have a max number of positions that you allow to be part of a basket?- do you have a max drawdown (in Pips or $) that is allowed for any given basket?

Thanks for the message, Hiroo59!Could you please verify your account?Nice to see that equity curve floats about balance once in a while ;)

Ok, we certainly don't have the same preferences, and that's fine, they don't need to be. Yes, monthly profit counts, but you'll find that for many people (myself included) it also counts the way to get there. If you risk 1,000 pips to make 10, you can claim your system wins 99% of the time, and maybe that will impress some newbies, but in fact you will be just be breaking even doing that.Since you are so sure that your system is (or will soon be) so much better than others out there, let's see a real money account, showing your level of trust (and please no cent accounts)....

Sorry Pedro, scalper or not, the negative pips expectancy immediately disqualifies the system for my needs (it very likely means Martingale of some form is involved; if not that, than you are using disproportionate lot sizes for different pairs). I should have not even looked further, but I noticed the SL values being around 1000 pips, and that would disqualify it as well, even in the absence of Martingale.

Would that be a 13% loss? Or are you saying you guarantee 13% profit every 5 weeks?

Thanks for your message Antony!I see that one of your accounts is listed as real (http://www.myfxbook.com/statements/634437/statement.pdf). The graph looks good, but it trades indexes that are not available in some on my accounts. Do you happen to have something that trades Forex?

On April 12 (http://www.myfxbook.com/community/experienced-traders/20-40-performance-fee-/164585,1#?pt=2&p=36&o=164585) I said I like the way myfxpedia presented themselves on this thread, and also liked several things about their trading history. I noticed their myfxbook watchlist counter increased from around 100 at that moment to 199 today.Based on the longer than average history, and the market updates on their forum, I really thought they are a team of experienced traders, so I started a small account with them. While they treated me very promptly and professionally during the tri...

GMI, I remember you! :)Can you verify your account and tell us how much Martingale and/or Grid goes into that strategy? (hopefully none)

Looks good, but has very short, and hidden, history.If it still looks ok, please post again once you have 100 trades and 3 months.

I want to confess that I subscribed to a 3 month service from myfxpedia. I was treated very nicely and even received extra days for trialing the service before paying for that subscription. They had a strong and rather long track record, and luckily I only started with a small account. I said "luckily" because this is what happened to their track record:http://www.myfxbook.com/members/myfxpedia/project-500-pips-month/420510They broke the golden rule of trading and fought the trend in several currencies recently (all tied to AUD), so much so that they ended up with 14 open trades (ave...

Even though I would very much like to keep this account in place, since it has the longest history among all my MT4 accounts, I decided to stop trading it and liquidate the balance. Primary reason: the performance at MB Trading is very much lagging, when comparing it with the results obtained using the same system(s) at other brokers! Plus I just discovered execution issues (see the group of trades opened on a NZDUSD spike, March 21st, at 13:54; there should be only 1 trade opened per pair, at any given time, but there were 6 on that occasion; while that could be attributed to the inability of...

I knew that, but what I did not know was that Pip-Factory used it. When they changed the strategy late last year they said up to 12-15 positions opened, or something like that. So I adjusted my lot sizes for it, but then I caught them with more trades opened, and then again with more... When they said something like "depending on market conditions, sometimes we need to fight harder", I knew that it can only end badly, so I dropped them from my list (ironically, it was them who cut the cord, by disabling my access, and so all I had to do was not renew).

To close the topic, I'm attaching the last picture I took of Pip-Factory's reference account.On April 15th I removed their account from my watchlist.

I finally decided to withdraw all money from this account, and close it. That’s because Pip-Factory was earning IB commission rebates, and now that I'm no longer a client, I don't intend to pay them any cent from my future trading activity.By the way, the up-trending equity curve in the recent months in this account is very misleading. They were using an “average down forever” trading method, also known as “when the price is falling, keep buying, since eventually it has to come back up, right?” Obviously they were wrong, and eventually the reality caught u...

Trading is almost surely the profession with the easiest entry requirements (almost anyone can open a real-money account in record time and with incredibly little money, without the need to have any knowledge about the market or even how to place trades), while also having the toughest requirement for long term success... I wish you success in transforming yourself enough so that you can join the consistently profitable traders!

It's the second thing you mentioned (looking for additions to my "team"). Given that working with existing managers was more important than looking for new ones, and that whatever time I had available for the Forex team-building business was spent with them, I took a break from replying to posts here for quite a while. You are right about the benefits of working with different trading styles, and that's exactly what I'm doing.On the other hand, even if I was not looking for new traders, because the thread is rated 4 stars and I saw multiple posts here that clearly were cl...

Finally I read something that makes me look more into what is being offered, thanks Willy!I just checked your profile and added this system to my watchlist:http://www.myfxbook.com/members/myfxpedia/project-500-pips-month/420510If you have a better one, that is more fit to "represent" you, please let me know.I like above account for multiple reasons, and I'm going to post them for anyone else interested in advertising their accounts here:- Track Record Verified, Trading Privileges Verified, Real-Money account (these are all required, for me)- decent history length (almost 9 months...
