  1. Hi Scientist,

    Nice cars!
    Yes, it was a good day. But remember the pips came from trading 3 pairs. It's "only" around 80 pips per pair.
    The system works very well in a trending market. But there will be trading range days, and they will give me many losses, I suppose. That will be the real test for the system.

  2. Hi again,

    I just can't understand how your system works without "hard stops" and taking 1000 or 2000 pips losses. Could you explain?

  3. Hi again - and thank you for your email.
    I just use a simple MA.

  5. Hi again,

    OK. It seems you are doing all the wrong things - no stops, adding to losers - and making a lot of pips. If it works, it works.

  6. I try to do all the right things. I hope it will continue to make pips. Close stops, no adding to losers ever. I wil also keep it very simple. I think this is the best approach of all.
    I will now test a new strategy: Only trading EUR/USD - I drop trading GBP and CHF. I will - of course - get fewer pips, but I can trade bigger in EUR. I don't hope it will be boring only to trade one pair.

    P.S. I am right now of course short EUR with a 14 pips gain. b/e is stop.

    Hey, I'm this too. I am just tired of waiting for the Euro to make its move. Incorporating a MA really helped. Thanks for the info.

    I saw that you are making real money now. Congratulations.

  9. Flat with a gain of 3 pips - because bad rumours are coming out from Russia right now!

  10. Bad decision. The rumour (and bomb threats in London) are hurting EUR. No, it's not easy trading the news...
