I have a lot open, but the open trades are locked. You can't see them. Keep an eye on the open percentage right next to equity, if that's changing it means I have open trades. Right now it's 99.50% so my open trades is down 0.5%.

Going into this GBP news event in about 3 hours waaaaaaaay to heavy....so another smack is quite likely.And at pretty hectic levels on the daily. Very likely to see a lot of volatility today, it's big bar territory this...

If it ever comes to that Patience I'll take it. Our NAV stop takes into account the cost of the trades, so if the cost forces the portfolio to lose value we'll close out at the higher cost, doesn't matter, long as the account is protected. And if the markets are then in a state of extreme volatility we just stay out till it all goes away.

We have NAV stops, hard stops.We're more at risk from multiple start failures than from continues trading. If we have restart once in 6 months I can live with it. The chances of having a failure on a restart is slim, so at worst if things do go wrong we'll most likely have the NAV trending sideways for a while.

Well, for this one the conditions that will make it fail only exists for short periods of time. So best to just get out for a while. Been a rough week hey, with Japan and so on. Rough as it gets actually. Can't have a bigger black swan that that...The portfolio that counts only drew down a few percent. So I'm happy with it.

That's South African slang...Speki, ja, depends where you live hey... I have a serious problem with organised religion in general. All of them. Time the human race moved on... every time you have holy war it's in the name of a god. Millions if not hundreds of millions have died over the centuries in whatever gods name...Certainly if there is a god it's not really interested in us more than we would be in say an ant. Why would an all omnipotent god need buildings and money ? People need that...

K,I consider that crisis over...back to where I was Friday, whole day left still....

If I really wanted to stir I'd go stick up a pentagram or a Buddha in there, you see how strong they react. Be the same thing as how I'm reacting. I am offended by their religious believes, just like mine will offend them. I don't do it, but they are quite happy and feel entitled to do it. But somehow it's ok for them to waves theirs in my face, but the other way is just wrong. Know why? Because they are judea christian's and tolerance is not part of the religion.

Tjaarus Speki, Property is almost the worst of them all. Look at this train smash that's going to unfold:http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/foreclosuregateOil price will be the trigger. I don't think it's ever been better to own property that it's been to own shares in a company that owns property, at least if you need to liquidate you can do it in second. Some of my friends had up to 60 properties going into this fiasco. Should have seen them sweat blood mate. As for the bible wavers. It's the sheer arrogance they have, like all religious believes, that just becau...

Look this methodology does fail. Friday's knock was a failure, not catastrophic, but very unusual. First in 6 months. All my portfolio's drew down, this one hardest hit. Considering market conditions I'm not to fussed. I'm not trying to write systems for Tsunami's and Arab unrest.So the systems are not designed to work in everything. We manage that type of risk outside the system. If we have a failure like this we kick out and go surf or something, come back in a week when normal is back. We have yet to kick out...

Don't know if I found a holy grail Wilkinson. I'm a bit more realistic about fx trading. So I wasn't really looking for a holy grail. I'm just comfortable we have something that I can build a future around that will work most of the time. Hate to quit the day job and have the fx fail at the same time. That would just suck. We automated via O's API and now my sole task as far as fx is concerned is to look once a day to make sure it's on. And that we haven't been kicked out by our hard stops if something does go wrong.

Zero,Had the same handle on O since 2004. I'm not in the habit of changing handles. Unlike some other people, follow my eyes...But I spent the last decade or so on fx and code and I want a better quality life that than. Not going to spend my entire life staring at a screen.We're done and it's time for a change of scenery now.

I'm actually waiting for tickets, which are conspicuous by their absence...might be a slight delay in my departure here...

I am going to go buy my goat at the goat shop. Been looking forward to this for years. <a href='http://www.myfxbook.com/files/TheCyclist/DSC00356.JPG' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.myfxbook.com/files/TheCyclist/DSC00356.JPG'/></a>

For the most part I am going to disappear off the face of the earth from this week on. Tired of forums, fx and everything in general. Especially tired of the Bruce's of the world who will do anything they can at any cost to others to turn a buck.I'll be back just long enough in 2 months to flog my last few remaining hand cuffs, read possessions. Then I'm off again. API can take care of business. I'm going to go sit in a grass hut next to the sea with my exotic Asian girl and wait for the surf to pick up. You can carry on ranting about my book and Bruce can continue his con, I&#...

His trades work fine for now. This portfolio is taking the same if not less risk than he does on every trade. Look at the difference in growth.It's not what you make, it's how much risk you take making it. If the risks are to high for the return then ultimately the portfolio will fail. No matter how good it looks for a while.Bruce thinks he is the greatest trader in the world and says so every trade. I mean what kind of trader gets a high when he makes like 0.5%?!Fact is his risks are disproportionate to his gains. He doesn't even know it. Now he wants to teach people. He'll ru...

This is what a margin call looks like: http://www.myfxbook.com/community/trading-systems/expert-advisor-secureprofit/87964,4Whatever ibfx did wasn't that. I can only presume they changed the methodology due to the new margin rules, which we have compliments of the US government. I'd have expected to be margin called on $67 or so on $135, not $125 or whatever it was. Doesn't really matter. Just drop the trade sizes a bit, no biggy...I was quite happy to risk the $30 I made so far, irritates me that I wasn't allowed to.
