REF: White background charts being available on CMC Next Generation Frickin' HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!! Black charts have been an unmitigated disaster, IMO.

meanreversion: NO, but a little less cynicism would go a long way.

Leonarda: Dogs and bones come to mind. Today 6 trades so far. 5 wins, 1 loss. 83.33% Highest win 86, lowest win 3, loss 16. + 161 pips gained in total. and that's as much as I'm prepared to write down.

SO are you saying that 50 + pips per day isn't good enough, when someone earlier in this thread said to make 20 pips a day was difficult? Even the best traders have a lot to learn, so I'm not alone. A further thought. An automated system has no fear, greed, worry. To an automated sytem it...

How to add 2 plus two and make 17. It implied NOTHING of the sort. Leonarda, what is your problem? Even if it did, a positive figure of plus 10,000 pips a year would still be a positive figure of 10,000 pips a year (win 100,000 lose 90,0000 or win 12,000 lose 2,000). A profit, is a profit is a...

Why do you think it'll suddenly start losing more pips than it makes? Why would I use a system that did that? I agree, one day does not a convincing argument make, but remember, I've already stated that it made at least 50 pips a day for the past year. Isn't that enough for you? Today it's...

Gooseman: I'd only risk what any other sane person would risk. My basic premise is 50% of profits go back in, 50% get taken out and are sacrosanct. As I wrote before, the risk becomes less, the more you make. With a start of maybe £5K you may have to risk slightly more per trade in order to get...

"well some of the guys on this forum were risking 30%+ per trade, ie.wiping out in general"!! Were they Japanese ex-airmen of a certain age (who obviously failed miserably at that too)???

I'm afraid I take it personally when someone calls me bogus or doubts my integrity. I will not be bullied, either. So, one day's chart with clear evidence of a 300 pip day isn't enough to even start things off??? I get the impression that if I ever met any of the guys on here in person, I'd...

Not bragging, just stating a fact (at that time). If I was bragging I would have blown a few raspberries too. Which begs the question. IF you make 50 pips/100pips/150 pips, or whatever your target number is, would you bank and get out at that point, or stay for the ride (that might involve...

I stand by my statement. IF you can make 50 pips a day (obviously difficult for some) you can, with compounding/ramping up, become a very rich person. It may take you a year or two, but it can be done. Is that a slow or fast bucks scenario?

Just to let you know. It's yielded just over 100 pips so far today (hour and a quarter trading time).

Gooseman: I have NEVER said it is not scaleable, nor have I implied at any time that the 'bet' size wouldn't increase with the increase in overall winnings. Also, I don't think I ever stated that it wins every single day, but the days it loses are few. MeanReversion: OK, I accept there is no...

Yes, people would love to know my exact methodology, but like most people, I wasn't born yesterday.

ODT Oil......Trader. No I'm not him. I'm NOT bragging or trying to sell anything. However, I did spend many, many hours tweaking here, tweaking there and studying what worked and what didn't. Believe what you wanna believe, guys. It's no skin off my back.
