No I didn't find much success in other forums. I just think that a trading journal is not of much interest for a lot of traders. I remember myself till a couple of years ago. I didn't keep a diary before, even if everybody was saying that it was important.
I think that traders are more...
Not as I was expecting :) maybe my expectations were too high, as they were when I first came to trading. Then I realized that in order to become a good trader you have to work hard. I believe that the same is true when you develop an application, you have to work to promote it even if it's...
Yeah, but if it makes not sense for you to give me your strat, that is under development. So I understand that it doesn't generate profits. Why should I give you my strat, that is proven. Well... at least I made 25 trades on the real account this year.
I asked for a strat that is not making...
If I understand it correctly, you already have a entry strategy, but It doesn't perform that good, right?
How about this? You show me your method, I try to see if I can make it become better by applying a filter and If I succeed in doing this we have a deal?
I still think it's self control. I can easily close the position when the price is at the target, because the volatility is very good. The volume is usually 1500+ per 3 minutes bar when I'm in. I just sometimes don't have the self control.
But as 90% of the traders are losing money, the...
Let's make a contest.
Give me an idea how can I improve my Android App by 27th of December. On the 27th of December I will choose two best ideas and I will give the two winners a coupon for activating the full version.
Here you can download the free version...
:) I've got it. Unfortunately I can't give you my entry method, because I don't think that I will not lose nothing.
If you will trade 100 contracts for example(I don't know what the exact number will be), it will be impossible for me to get filled(if I will use a stop limit order) and I will get...
First of all, congrats if 3500 is not hypothetical and you have a method that gives you such a profit. Sincerely I've stopped searching for such methods. The methods I tested were giving me the maximum of 200-300 pips per month.
You are right, cutting the profit with the fixed target, limits...
Sounds interesting, how can you make me rich if I give you the entry method?
I mean, I can become rich(it's a long process) by following my rules and looking for other methods.
I used the stop between 10 and 15 ticks but it happened only once that the price was one tick away from my stop and...
Fortunately I didn't finish to read this book :) I didn't know that he made money by selling education. I even saw that this book was high rated on amazon. So I thought it was a good one.
I disagree that the exit is completely unimportant. If it's not important where will you place the stop, or you say you don't need a stop?
What is a high probability entry?
Maybe I got it wrong, but will you enter a trade and whenever you will decide to close it, it will be OK?
I my opinion...
Thank you dazfletch. You are right, the newbies should read this. But I understand them perfectly because when I was a newbie I was searching only for the perfect entries. I was thinking that once filled the price should go only in my direction. Unfortunately it took me a lot of time to...
It helped me a lot to test my method. I just turned back with the charts, let's say three months. I started to observe that some chart formations produce better results.
Then I tested my method again using the filters I found. If I observed other things I was testing them again. That helped me...
I follow my rules, especially the entry rules. I'd rather not enter the trade if I'm not sure about the setup.
The last time I broke my entry rules, was in May of this year. After a winning streak, I was overconfident and I saw a signal and I decided to take it, but my rule was to start trading...
I completely agree with you. 10,000 hours will for sure help most people. Indeed the more I test the setups I use, the more I get the feeling of the market.
I've seen the thread. It's a good thread, it seems to me that it's more about the strategy. Thank you for the link.
Here I was trying to...
