I can win all the time :whistling Ok, maybe not, but the more trading data you have on a system, the better the chance of success. No guarantees though..

If your system is not working why would you offer it in return for advice? If you have been trading for 5 years and cant make any money, then your system should probably be scrapped. Most systems do not work, so you are not alone in that regard. There are page after page of forums with systems...

This wont work with every system, but the optimal exit for many systems is the new entry point. That is assuming you can pick the tops and bottoms more often then not. If you are exit before the price moves in the opposite direction you are not taking full potential of the movement.

Hi Robert, It's been a while. How are your zulu trades going? That one you posted looks like it is doing ok. Small DD. He must know something we dont :) To answer your earlier post. I develop and trade using EA's. I set my risk based on the worst DD I expect (based on forward testing...

Here is an example. In the news today (ABC) AUDUSD wont fall below 98c

I find always doing the opposite to what the guru's in the mainstream news reports say is a good place to start. Seriously, your system does not work. Find a system that works, and test it, for a long time before you trade real money.

Science. For me It is all about testing a hypothesis. I will put any crazy system idea into code. Backtest it, forward test it, improve it... Automating a system can show you if will really work or not. No art, or feelings, etc... I have 100's of failures by the way. Just a few outstanding...

Back to the original question for a minute.. Why not use an automated system or at least semi-automated. Reason is - if you are scalping you are almost always looking for a technical set up. It is not possible to stare at a screen for hours a day waiting, and why would you want to? Use...

Sleep.. Who needs sleep :) Mind if I ask what sort of returns you can get from Zulutrade? what sort of drawdown? Are they automated systems or manual trading? i have looked at these sites such as zulu and rent a signal. I thought they looked pretty risky? By risky I mean they were low...

:cool: Yep, leverage and safety in the same sentence doesent inspire confidence, does it.... Read post 5. The point is if you use low leverage and want to open multiple trades you will be using more of your margin and have a greater risk of a margin call. On the other hand, You can just...

Hi Robert, if you are smart enough to write the code to hedge the zulutrade orders, surely you are smart enough to write code to hedge currencies or commodities? You should be able to make more money with that then copying other peoples trades. Metatrader coding is not that hard to learn.

Automation...

Forex might be a game with $1000. With 1,000,000 probably not.. higher Leverage does not make trading more dangerous. In fact the opposite. Just ask any American.

There other feeds you could use. If you are averaging other peoples trades get a feed from a broker? maybe something like this Forex Order Book | OANDA fxTrade With the Zulutrade idea, you are still averaging out the trades of their systems. If they are not profitable in the long run, neither...

Scripts are such a fag??? what's so hard about running a script or using an ea to close a percentage of a trade. Cant get much simpler.
