Hi there.
There are threads where you can go advertise your trading accounts, but with stricter rules.
I would like to invite traders to show off their accounts here if they pass certain criteria.
The criteria :
1) The account must be real - no demo's. (please do not argue here that it is the same as a live acc. etc - the idea is not to engage in any arguments)
2) The account must be verified (please do not come and defend your unverified-but-want-to-participate account - there will simply be no interest)
3)DD must not be higher than 40% - (please. Once again. No justification for your above 40% dd, if it is higher - don't participate)
4)The account must be older than 3 months, maybe this is even still too young.
5)No martingales! (it might work for you, and I do not want to engage in an argument - just please keep to yourself and don't participate)
That's it. Only these five things. If your account passes that, feel free to let others know. There will be those that are disgruntled they cannot participate and will try to justify their way of trading, please ignore them - if it works for you, then great - maybe start a new thread and invite others trading that style to participate. - As I said, this place is not for arguing, it is for displaying accounts that potential investors might want to follow based on the criteria above. This thread is not intended to badmouth other trader's ways.

Hi,
I'm not here to fight, but it seems important for you to take in consideration some criterias you forgot.
How to evaluate a system?
It's not because that you don't apply martingale, that martingale trading account couldn't be presented here?... it's called discrimination.
It's like if you would say, average win must be > 10 pips.... (then you would be disqualified)
=> This is just an exemple.
To make it fair, you can't pick up criterias that suit your strategy.... anyway.
The most important part is a ratio that isn't presented into myfxbook stats.
It's called:
Calmar Ratio: A return/risk ratio. The return (numerator) is defined as the compound annualized return over the last 3 years, and the risk (denominator) is defined as the maximum drawdown (in absolute terms) over the last 3 years. (If there is not 3 years of data, the available data is used.)
This ratio must be at least greater than 3 in term of trading performance. Between 1 to 3... it's fine but not sufficient in term of ROI. Below 1, the risk involved is too high compared to the return
In your case:
Calmar ratio is (2.88 / 5.77) = 0.49
Hope you have learnt something regarding Risk vs Gains
By the way, 86 winning trades in a row is a nice performance!... even if it's 2 pips tp.

Trading is fundamental based in reasoning with consistent technical entry methods. Nothing fancy, just logical, simple trading. Risk is never above 1%.

Hi crazytrader, I also don't want to fight (the purpose of this thread was not to start arguments). There are many traders who apply martingale and swear by it. For the purpose of this thread I want to exclude them. I am in no way discriminating. (It is even an autotrading account requirement!)

I am not worried about pip sizes - as long as the system shows profit they can be any size thus I am not making it to suit my trading style.

Regarding Martingale - its taking the roulette red/black theory and applying it to trading... in my early days (about 10 years ago) i spent 6 months taking my first live account from $100 to $600 (admittedly risking too much at the time) using Martingale.... the problem is, once you get stuck in a range you're in a mess.... My start risk % was 1% and i would only trade one pair at a time, and yet I watched Martingale blow the entire account in 4 hours....
Martingale is like a ticking bomb - it lures you into a false sense of security... then one day when you are sitting confident you watch your account suddenly blow up....

Martingale blew your account along with the system you were using. Martingale is only the form of wagering which you use to recover after a loss. The reason why you then entered a larger trader after you loss (martingale wagering) is based on the system which you used. Martingale is a ticking time bomb, but only when you are picking random spots to recover losses. For example, a person may have a sl set, and once the sl is hit, they open a trade right away in the very same direction which was that of the previous loss. That of course makes 0 sense, because if one concedes to a stop loss, then it is to assume that you believe the price will continue to run in the direction of the sl. People who trade in that manner, use stop loss, but much like that in the way of a casino as in a casino you have no way of knowing what the next card or number will be. In forex on the other hand, you can get a very good idea of if the buy or sell will result in a win based on TA.

For once I do agree with ScalpingRus, the way you use martingale is to reopen straight away the same position with lot incresased... but why? the real strategy wouldn't open a new trade because the opportunity is gone. EA must to wait the next real opportunity to double the next turn.
But this is off topic... there are dedicated thread for martingales.

Risky trade to disperse account. 100% profitable trades. Risk can be reduced by 2-3 times. Accordingly, DD will be reduced and profits.
I know the price will be at that level ...

Rihan isn't it amazing how they just come on and show whatever they have which usually irrelevant to the topic at hand and some throw their rubbish in when even they haven't achieved what is required. Mind you for a DD that is at the 40% I think it's very dangerous.

@forexpipcatchar
Yes, this was probably not such a good run. I think that the Idea was there but ...................
As for the 40% DD. 40% dd on $1000 with 1 lot per trade is not bad at all. On $10k if we keep that at 1 lot size we will have a 4% dd - So IMHO it is just used as a guideline.
If you have an account that does extremely well with a high dd, the lot sizing can be minimized.
Just my way of looking at it..
