I generally don't use expected high and low. What do you base your expected number on, is it 100% TCD fill, or something else?

If you truly have your psychology in check, and I mean like robotic, and you're not scalping...then there's not as much difference between demo and real environments as everyone believes. It is just that, a belief. I do about the same in both, and the closer I get to having bulletproof...

5 year hiatus from trading? ..or just from posting?

That's AceKing, a guy who went by Aayat used to sell that. How well does it work?

Re: The Final Holy Grail Discussion Thread I try to be. What markets do you run arb on, Forex, or others? Without giving away anything, what is your strategy based upon?

Re: The Final Holy Grail Discussion Thread Very cool. This is a serious question, so don't confuse it with me being cynical. If you have truly worked out a risk-free arb strategy, why wouldn't you scale up to more than 30% year. I mean if you are trading risk free, or even near risk free...

In my opinion, couldn't be further from the truth. I'm done, didn't mean to stoke the fire, I guess I was in the mood for healthy debate this morning. A few parting comments: I am far from a newbie. I don't discuss my trading results on trading boards, it really doesn't matter as I'm not...

It does for the one who believes it.

Not necessarily, if one put 3% (a conservative risk) on the line on every trade with a 1:1 RR, then all it would take is 4 of 5 winning trades per week to hit 9 - 10% Define 'high risk'- Risk means something different to the guy who trades with a 75 - 80% accuracy than it does to the trader...

Why would a trader 'expect' to lose?!? Expect to lose and you will. Expect to win long term and you can, anything is possible in this business. Our only limits are self- imposed. I believe 10% per week is more than doable, with the right strategy and the correct mental state.

You'll have to do your research, he has done a lot of posts on various forums and you can pick up bits and pieces and put it all together. He's not 'offering' anything per se, but he's referring to the bits of info he's given over the years. It's just a different way to think about trading...

Can't speak from experience because I haven't traded that size yet, but I am pretty confident that, no, 10 standard lots is not enough to move a market. You'd probably have to be up in the 100M+ range to even be a blip on the radar. Maybe those who trade bigger will agree (or disagree) with me.

7, All good stuff. I saw the opportunity for the roll back into dominant this morning and jumped in @ 3490. Rode it up to a respectable 63+ gain. Thing is, this is not a trade I would normally take because the Long side was already filled up to 115%, but I was recently re-reading some of...

TN7, Thanks as always for the information to digest. I think you misunderstood a part of my post, when I said 'support' indicators, I was referring to other indicators that you use that might 'support' what I'm seeing in the TCD's. I should have said 'secondary' indicators in it's place. No...

Hi TN7, I say keep posting the trade profiles, maybe one or two more. I think it, at the least, gives the newer traders something to think about. I didn't see your post with the profile at the time, wish I would have. It feels good not to be the newbie trader anymore, I have almost five...
