ok pok talking kok now biggrin.gif

As for the trend, don't think the trend can take place, more on pullback hunting instead. For USD, more high impact scorecard release tomorrow. EUR ..will be rather quiet tomorrow with no major calendar event.

IMHO gbp got Friday news. After Tuesday incident of long usd during news i suggest stay out or see carefully. I hardly follow fundamental in the end kena sapu kao kao. really have to look carefully

Don't get hit by the fundamental bus. The spike could hit your SL if it wasn't in your expectation. Your broker should have event calendar. Even apps too for android.

If you are profitable without news, then skip it, no point risking,
(ps: use pending orders on BOTH sides to catch a sure 30 pips,
why risk when you can safely net some pips? laugh.gif )

Good for NFP smile.gif

I buy both side and adjust SL/TP 1 or 2 mins before. However, nowadays, 30 pips bracket is also kinda risky if at the wrong side..gotta expand further.

yeah..i had to do that too since not a full time trader that has the luxury of PC at home, drawing lines and analysis. This is the disadvantage. But maybe you are a pro already that can trade on naked chart.

yeap, not too tight, for news like NFP, if you missed the train,
wait for the first 15m candle to retrace and enter on the next,
the second candle follows through like.... 95 out of 100 times? laugh.gif
better use pending to catch one side sure pips, buying both sides will
eat up your profits

I would change to pend order next round. Notice that the spread is harmful to SL. half more month to go..

Guys, remember this trader in fxbook that manages multi million which we talked about 2 weeks back and he was trading with lot size of 500? guess what happened......

Attached Image

already closed -27mil worth of order yesterday
dd is so heavy at -29 mil floating now
with only 8 mil equity left
....all from the peak at 65mil

I guess he can be found hanging at the end of his rope now

obviously he didnt stick to fixed risk per trade rule. lets learn from his mistake, and mine also.

say if u risk only 2% each trade, (this 2% depends on lot size and stop loss you set).

as the account grow, this fixed risk must be maintain regardless of what strategy used. all martingale will violate this rule, so avoid.

this 2% risk rule must also go with only 1 open trade at all time, so if you have 1:2 risk reward, you only grow 4% max at a time each trade. That means it's gonna be slow, sometimes takes 2-3 days to grow 4%, and if you think conservative forex trading is unnecessary, you would end up like this guy who manage millions.

also, rule should indicate that if a continuous loss appeared 5 times in a roll, the fund should be returned to investor immediately without question. If you are managing own fund, that means stop trading immediately.

So i would like to know if any fund manager out there use this strict rules, after all we are our own fund manager. Newbie who sticks to this rule will avoid painful pitfalls, thank me later.

Even if he did trade with the 2% risk, ..he didn't exercise the risk by closing the order when the drawdown is more than 2%. He did eventually let it glide continuously without a clear boundary of acceptable DD. This is the issue with many traders, even if you observe in those signal providers, the poor subscribers followed the provider into MC hole. The bigger the account, the harder is it for the trader to accept defeat since the amount is rather large to lose.

This and last month in particular, lots ppl got hit especially those that don't believe or sticking strictly to their SL.

eh, i thought you open pending buy/sell on both direction? nice wor...it really went both direction and double the profit ..lol. Too bad, i am too distracted to put in the pending orders minutes before (Was driving).

Even the after effect of NFP is rather uncertain too. Directionless disco dancing..

we aint stupid to differentiate between a newbie asking for help.. or got any agenda..

Any agenda..please PM directly...lol

i need to start PMing ppl..as my agenda is to make money!! lol

btw, the guy with multi million account in fxbook has already made his data private or delete the link with fxbook. It was interesting to watch how these guys work and perform if consistency can be found. His last round was having very bad losing streak position and closed off several mill of losing position (not all).
Probably too malu to show this kind of result if they are boasting to be fund manager.
btw, he will only work on 250k USD and above fund size if you want him to manage and work on a shared gained like pamm.

His update says:

"The account was online for two potential large clients to view and study for a month or so and was not intended for enjoyment or for smaller clients. As mentioned in previous postings , we do manage client's accounts with minimum entry of 250k € . We may place the account back online in the future if potential client/s require. If anyone would like to enter in our managed account service , you can contact us directly either on skype or email."

I am sure the two potential large clients had a spook by now..
