I found that! In a peanut butter jar. Don't ask for details.... Though, I will say, it takes about 30-minutes. dRaWdOwN
Why... no. Gee, thanks a lot! For those who read the sKaLpZ blog, it's best read from beginning thru current, as most jokes are time-sequenced in order. Start with the archived gags. Hopefully, now sKaLpZ can make the big bucks. dd
fellah's I just got another trade closed...oh my gawd... I put another entry in and rockin' and rollin' and maybe the Forex God will be kind to me and grant me short durations. Current intratrade DD = 1/2 of 1/10th of 1% (I am dead serious) archy
Arch, Sorry to pop your HG bubble but... Trading infinitesimally small amounts of cap per trade to avoid DDs hence avoid risk ain't the solution to making big cash in the ForEx. Because you're not MAKING any (serious) money either. Back to the chalk board. DD
Hm... 58%...??? Now, um, is this on your entire account balance? On a sub-account balance? Or, on money that you expose to the market (to margin) on a per trade basis? Because, I sorta count % return I get from the money I expose to market (to margin) when I put on a serious trade (or that turns into a serious trade once I enter the market) as being something accountable. Typically, I'll shoot for the lion's share - percentage wise - of the cap I have directly exposed to the ForEx via open trade(s) based on margin. Example, if I have $1000 in margin used on EUR/USD, I got almost 40,000 units in trade exposed to the market. That's gotta make me, say, over $750 or around $750 when the (overall) trade is closed. The opportunity for those type of trades haven't happened very often, and usually I've ended up working to save my *** from being eaten by the devil of ForEx. dRaWdOwN, the god of ForEx
Well I do not have anything to hide. I got my 9k and multiply that with 158% (my goal is 148%) and thats what I have in 12 months. ($14,220) I will not ask you how much and how...as I do not want put you on the spot. Michael B.
Heck, I'm not afraid to talk about it. I'll tell ya one thing, don't even THINK about trading money "for a living" unless you got a $1,000,000 acct. Anything under that and you're living poorly. You got lofty goals, Arch. Ones I don't think can be realized. To get 150% returns you gotta push risk into the BURN zone - guess what... you'll get burned... but not until you *survive* for awhile. ForEx is a nasty b-i-t-c-h. And ain't no ONE system gonna beat her. Ya win by having a base in money management. And, by money management, I mean, you got to know value. What's a good buy and what's NOT a good buy. You got to know when to pull the trigger... and when to close... for a loss, a break even, or a for a profit. That which isn't a good buy, you better be on the sell side. And be ready to switch as soon as it becomes a good buy. Well... a little sooner. Knowing the difference, then executing trades based on it, separates winners from losers. There's a lesson in this: How to type 168 words and say nothing. Take it lightly, The dRaWdOwN
dRaWdOwN, I am reeeaalll good at typing....I have over 50 posts here in ET already and its only been a few years. So the God Forex actually realizes that my ACTUAL 58% in NON DIRECTIONAL FULLY HEDGED trading is pretty damn good. AND can only say that it will not last...well I know that! But the Archangel of Forex is frantically looking for another system for a back up..so until then I am going to enjoy it.' dRaWdOwN I never take you heavy TAoF
Hm... NON DIRECTIONAL FULLY HEDGED trading, eh? Sounds pretty good! Suggestion... cut back on everything... and you'll already have your backup system in place. Or, show me the system and I will fix it for you so it won't lose. It's just a flucuation, tgof
