T,

Sometimes what starts looking like a pullback (profit taking), turns into a reversal (example: a pin bar on the hourly or 4 hour chart). There are usually hints and signs for this occurrence. Once you begin to recognize these "setup failure patterns", you'll avoid them all together... in turn bringing up your overall hit rate average.

I understand then that,if that were the case,the stop will not be 50 pips from entry but (stop distance=50 pips/number of positions.... from average cost)..Am I right?...And,10 pips TP,then,would it be from average cost too,or from initial entry?

Keep posting Man(I don`t want to "give" you another nick because fxbs could get angry at that and steal my wallett again )..you are a well of wisdom.

Howdy Simba,

Thanks for dropping in, big buddy... and the kind words. The EA keeps a tally on the +/- pip or $ count. It never actually places hard stops or tp's into the order ticket info. Once the count is reached, it simply runs a "close all open orders" script. So yes, it is averaging from the initial entry.... if that's what you were askin'.

MM

The win rate better be astronomical because you need a win rate of 84% to break even granted you played with a fixed % of starting capital.

Higher than 84% will get you money. Maintaining such a high success rate is hard no?

Some would say that it's virtually impossible...

Outstanding

Mr Marketz, outstanding job on the thread.

Its nice to see the tried and true methods coming back out amongst all the indicators chaff. Take note ladies and gents this is how trading should be done. Clean charts, gut instinct. As Simba eludes, practice using a trading simulator. Run through a couple of months in a couple of hours and you will see what market flow, price action, and even pattern setups come into play and from that point forward something will click and you will start seeing almost in advance what is going to happen.

As the trades are progressing ask yourself where would you take profit, is the market quiet/noisey, what about money flow (has it reached current price quickly or is it slowly plodding along). Each currency has its own characteristics. Take a look at the EUR/USD vs. GBP/JPY. EUR/USD will show brilliant reversal setups, usually on the longer timeframes, but played out at the lower levels with nice steady wave like flows. The GBP/JPY will jump, dive, turn consolidate all within one chart screen. Trading each takes a different mind frame with different rules for each (well not so much rules, but discretion and attention).

Mr Marketz also alludes to the fact the this cant be programed into an EA...True true...I like that, it takes the fun out of learning the trade. Discretion and attention with the iron will to stay off the trigger at every little jump or spike will see your trading improve. Once you learn how to trade like this add an idicator and take note how many times you could have been in and the out again of a trade before the indicator even thinks about showing you what to do.

Again well done on the brilliant thread, I especially like the cost averaging part..
