It's just the way I trade it manually, it's only placing 25% of the trades that I would actually have taken manually. I'm not complicating anything.. And that's how I know the data is accurate because I trade it cross platform and manually.
Here...How about this deal...I send you a post-dated check for $1,000. Say, 30 days out. When you make $1,000 profit with your system before the 30 days, you show me your true broker statements. If I agree with the statements, then you send me a $500 check and you keep the 500 bux extra. Then we go from there. Otherwise, I cancel the check. Consider it seed money.
I guess you don't get it, but that's funny. Here it is.. I have friends, family and people that I talk to regularly but not a single person smart enough to even grasp a small percentage of a conversation about Forex. So I guess that's the catch..
I understand Forex quite well. It's like every other straight instrument out there. (Options are the exception, because it's not straight, and I respect the hell out of the people who understand them. They're all bat-shit crazy. Love 'em.) On a FX chart, if it moves up and you're long, you make money. If you're short, you lose money. So your "friends, family and people" must not be very good at numbers? And you are not, either, if you do not take me up on my offer. It is a win-win for you, since you will make a guaranteed $1,500, while I would receive only -$500 on the first go. Do you grasp those percentages?
"Max Contracts Held 93913" Does this mean a notional value of 9,391,300,000 euros? Can you show what's behind the "List of Trades" link?
There is a pretty low intellectual threshold required to understand what trading currencies is. If you think someone needs to be a genius to sign up for an Oanda account and understand that you're buying a currency while simultaneously selling another one then....good luck.
I agree that this is true in the vast majority of cases, but I'm hoping it does not necessarily HAVE to be the case. Either way, I'm going to try to prove myself right or wrong by the end of next week by making trades based off the "divergence oscillator" pictured here... Where the black and tan oscillators are located on opposite halves of the channel are instances in which it would be acceptable for me to execute trades (see circles for examples). This tactic is based on the same principles that enabled me to realize abnormally high winning percentages on Thursday and Friday of last week (75% to 88% daily success rates) so it will be interesting to me to see if I can replicate similar results using this spin-off of the technique. Theoretically, nothing should change in the long term so long as up remains up and down remains down, but time will tell.
