Grouping "split" trades [split by taking partial profit] dans Boîte à suggestions Aug 10, 2011 at 14:10

Hi,I rised this issue before, however I have now two ideas for the solution.The issue is that when I open a trade [say 10 lots] and than close half it appears in a history as two separate trades, however the second one have in comments "from #10298384" what means there was one trade #10298384 and was divided in two after taking partial profit.If this would be possible to show some form of "basic history" where these trades would appear as one and secondly I wonder would it affect other statistics like average win/loss etc.Second - maybe even beter method would be to do it m...

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Apr 06, 2011 at 16:35

Well,If you expect to have row of losers I think it would be the best to lower your size down to zero, have a sleep, and go back trading next week maybe..? ;)Honestly, I used to feel fear after row of winners that it can't go this good forever and surely enough I was taking bad trades after that...It's called psychology :)

how true...But in other hand if 100% a month is at least what you need to make a living, you need some target.. :P

It has some flaws, definitelynot good for scalping, but if you trade for 20 pips profit or more, it will be perfect, and it's much better than scrolling chart with F12 button ;)It's not exactly mine, I found it on FF, but it was code by some FX company, you can see the author field.

I can't find it anywhere on the net. There are nice charts at forexfactory, but I'd like to chave them resene one above another, so I can compare change in CPI in different countries in one column, and bank rate in next column etc...I am talking about graph form, one graph aobve another.I think this wold be some job to do it, but this would be a perfect tool for fundamentalists.

Create software that draws history trades from csv on my MT4 chart dans Boîte à suggestions Sep 21, 2010 at 09:35

First to find out what is somebody's timezone I pick few recent trades and rying to fit them to my chart [so open and closing time fit to order level.]Than in excell I just use another column, where I first format it to make sure it will display time, and than I write =X2+01:00, or X2+60 [where X2 is parallel cell with time value].I think if you make a software, the easiest way is to create option to draw 10 recent trades just to see if they fit chart, and then make TZ adjustment, draw first 10 again, to see are they fit, and if all is fine, than one can go with full history.Actually this ...

Community outlook makes me laugh!on every single pair both average long and short are deeeeeep on red! But 53% of accounts are profitable! 😕I red many times that two taders can enter same position, but one will profit on it and other one will loose. Here i see that one trader can buy and second sell given pair and both can be deep in loss HAHAHA!!! 😇When I earn some chash on FX i'll become a broker... 😇

So I can download somebody's history and see al trades on my chart. Such a soft should have adjustable timezone to work correctly. It can use builted in trendlines from MT4 [with unticked "ray" box]. It can draw red lines for short and green for long trades.Currently I do it by importing numbers to excell spreadsheet and than I use self-coded macro, that copy open/close time/value and automatically fill it in apropriate fields in MT4. Its a really time consuming thing.I don't know any better way to do it...

Stephanus are you sure your proposals fit this topic?I am sure your ideas are great for some data analisys, but I personally don't ind them fitting into two dimension chart, where one dimension is a time and other is a profit.It's obvious that not a single trader will obtain correlation close to 1.In my opinion the main use of such statistic is separation scalpers from swings, long terms and "scamer-scalpers".

Is there anyone willing to share their Money Management strategy? dans Traders Expérimentés Sep 15, 2010 at 08:24

/i must disagree but only partially. My general strategy is to trade around key levels but with market orders, so when prices touches key S/R or weekly pivot I'm waiting for some 1M formation to let me in [formation created by 25-60 1M bars, so I'm far from scalping]. Than my stops are around 30 - 50 pips, and moved to BE as soon as first target is reached [if you'd bother to watch my history you can easily see my SLs are barely hit.Refering to R:R concept, I never listen to traders that set their target based on stops so they achieve 1:2 or any other fixed R:R, same with those tha...
