    Paper to real money

    Think you're right about trusting my system - had so many that have failed so it's a bit of a hurdle. Only fundamental analysis is watching for economic news and I just avoid trading those times. But no I don't really have that great a grasp on fundamentals with forex - just stocks - I take...

    Paper to real money

    I don't have an automated system so it's just eyes and excel really. I've paper traded this system and it's worked well for 10 weeks or so best results I've had so far from any system. Not sure if 10 weeks is enough but it seems reasonable.

    Thanks for responses - I'll take a look at median prices - not used that before at least it's a stop loss idea. I use 10 day already - I think I've used every indicator out there and wrote my own so I can only conclude it's my mental state. I do buy and sell shares and have had modest...

    Paper to real money

    By that do you mean you only trade candlestick patterns or just hop in on the trend. Even if it is a simple trend following system surely there has to be some method behind it - entry points, stops recognising oversold, overbought and the like. Admittedly my systems start out simple but then...

    Paper to real money

    Hi Seem to be caught in a never ending cycle of: Backtesting systems, paper trade, move to real money - lose money - start over with a new system rinse repeat. My current system has been consistently profitable for 10 weeks paper trading. So I've moved to real money and in 2 weeks I've just...

    Thanks Trankuility - yeah I've noticed I'm jumping from one thing to another :-( I'll clear off now don't want to take up too much of everyone's time. Though I'm sure I'll have a million more questions soon.

    Thanks Jason and Shadowninja. I've gone back to paper trading today. This is incredibly difficult, just losing, albeit very small, so I'm not sure if that's progress. I'm nowhere nearer anything like a workable system, but it is very early days. Youtube video - very scary! Happy Easter you...

    Just looked at their site and on with demo, 10p per pip is brilliant. I thought £1 was lowest you could. I found this site by accident so glad I did. Thank you Jason.

    New to trading - reality check

    Hello everyone. I've been short term stock market investing for the past 2 years unsuccessfully. Past 7 months have improved since I've learned some technical analysis. I've just opened up a spreadbet and a little dabble in Forex £1 per point made a bit then lost a little. I'm just on with...
