Do you know what's the spread during night for example on the popular EUR/GBP ?

I think that trading on a mobile phone is not a great idea anyway.

There could be some logic in this after all. If these moon phases influence people, they could theoreticly influence the markets too.

I tried using volume but now I do again price action only.

How much profit did you made from the start of this "journal'

Futures should yield more profit then stocks, at least from my experience

I don't trade stocks but on E-mini indices its best for me to get for smaller gains

This happened to me many times too. Best here is to close down because now it is out of control. The basics in trading is to have everithing under comtrol, so clearly defined targets and stops.

Try zenfire demo or xovian

I have tryed a strategy in NT based on fast changes in volume coupled with price action but longterm backtesting yielded always no profit.

I think most lossers have to bit expectations. The people who are consistently making profit are happy with 20% a year. Maybe most of the lossers would not even trade for such a return, they are searching for the holly grail. This was my problem too.

actually I thought the are no profitable forex trader in the long run.

TheRumpledOne thaks for your info. How much do you aproximately make a year using your method in % ?

The Home Trading Blog is OK

Hi Just want to inform you for the backtesting of the any computer strategy and optimization. The is the problem of curvefitting. You optimize the strategy for the given time period that you backtested. This is why many times the strategies work in bactesting but fail to work in real time. Most brokers think that "the markets have changed" but this is a mistake. This is mostly the problem for long term strategies. Short term strategies can give god yet unreal results in backtest or in real time demo for different reasons. Generally the less ticks you taking the more will the backtesting or demo trading differ from real money trading. I have seen scalping algoritms that performed excellent in demo, but with real money you will simply not get the fills as in the demo. So yes you need to backtest and try in demo, but if it goes well, you still don't have a profitable strategy yet. The markets are hard.
