Hi FXALT

First of all - Very Well done

I was impressed with 633 pips and initially your comment of a RR of 128 - mighty impressive...........

But - then I watched the video and saw that your real RR was 1. 28 - that had taken approx 3 weeks + to achieve and that you stop had been nearly 250 pips and you had split the trades into two parts etc resulting in a RR that I like to think I can make in 10 -15 minutes.

I appreciate its Naked trading and that you are using longer time frames - but all this shows is the inefficiency of longer term trading as no retail trader will get rich using 250 pip stops and waiting over 3 weeks to make at best a RR of just over 2.

Its a shame - but that's were many newer traders are impressed with seeing 633 pips ( I was ) - but 250 pip stop and 3+ weeks for a result spoils it.

Most retail traders might only be able to use micro lots or just even $1 a pip with that size stop - so then the financial result is $633 or a lot less in over 3 weeks

Now if you had the time and inclination to intraday or look for trades off say the 1 hr or 4 hrs - you might not get your 633 pips in 3+ weeks - but your stops might be lower at 25 to 60 pips and you would then even on just a 55/60% win rate on one pair make 20 - 40 trades and I bet you your total net RR's ( after losses) would be over 10 + and instead of trading on $1 or less you might have been on $5 a pip or more and ended up with far more money.

No disrespect - because it a winning trade - but for me just not the best way to control risk and maximize reward

All the best and Good Trading

Regards

Thanks for your input. The only thing that I will add to it because there will always be naysayers and "Monday Night Quarterbacking" is that 3 of the GREATEST Fund Managers (George Soros, Bill Lipschutz and Stanley Drukenmiller) trade the Daily and Weekly Charts and they do so for a reason. In fact, I just did a blog post on this recently here it is:Why You Should Make Trading The Daily Charts Part Of Your Trading Strategy[/URL]" What should be also noted my video is that this particular trade as an additional addon to another trade we are currently in which is a weekly trade.

With that being said.. Have a magnificent day on PURPOSE!

Hi FXALT

Well understand your logic here - but its so misguided

Retail FX trading and commercial /Bank / Hedge Fund trading is like chalk and cheese - totally a different ball game.

Like comparing 2 cars - ie a Ford Model T and a Bugatti Veyron - both 4 wheel cars - but just so different

If I was trading multi millions and billions - etc - then yes - different ballgame - i would be delighted with 30% ROC per annum - delighted

BUT

As a retail trader and maybe 99% of all retail traders with accounts under $250 or even $500 k - then i want 30% ROC per month or at least quarter - different risk different return base - different ballgame.

So therefore none of us retail traders on this Forum are going to be in George Soras or Warren Buffett league - and we are never going to get there trading our own money.

OK - if you want to go into the commercial world and trade OPM's etc - then nothing wrong with naked longer term trading

However if you are trading with less then $250K - get a better method (y)

Hey dude ....good work

I generally can make 20-30 pips in say 90 mins of trading most mornings .....and will at a real,push allow a 5 pip stop/drawdown on trades......I respect longer term trading but the numbers don't add up for me as I can't leverage the returns on such small numbers of trades

I can see the last post the risks and returns .......how,long were you in those trades ?

Whats your roce on a monthly basis ?
