What is Your Risk Reward Ratio?
Jack Francisco replied to Obsidian's topic in Risk & Money Management
To me, R/R is heavily depended on the TF. the higher the TF the higher the R/R. i choose the 4h TF because it gives me higher R/R compared to 1h TF. i dont take trade whose R/R is below 1:3. to be frank, i know i am not going to be right all the time, so i only take trades that will take little from me when i am wrong and give me PLENTY when i am right. moreover.. just my way :crap: -
Keeping a trading journal is really important .. Every expert trader always keep a record about their trade ... like in a day how many trade they opened what was their result and why , how much was their winning and loosing ratio arc and they analyze those results in every week month ans year ... if we also keep our trading journal then we can clearly see our improvements ans also our mistakes ... this is really essential for a trader ... are you keeping a trading journal ?:crap:

You're Favorite Techinical Indicators - List Them
Jack Francisco replied to Maxwell's topic in Technical Analysis
I always use EMA-9, EMA-22 & EMA-32 for deciding whether to buy or sell. When EMA-9 crosses over EMA-22 & EMA-32, I buy and vice versa. Other factors I consider is a formation of a candle above EMA-32 before I buy. The time frame I use is 15 min. It has helped me to make profits consistently. Normally I look for 10% profit per day. With a 1:100 leverage, it is just 10 pips usually. It helps me to quadruple my small account every month. -

Why Do Some People Not Place Stops?
Jack Francisco replied to Octavian's topic in Risk & Money Management
I don't use traditional stop losses, though i had to reply, since i came on to ask a question regarding a trading problem i was having, and may have found the answer, then found this thread At the very least, the value of maintaining a stoploss is to keep you -in- trades that you may want to be in for a longer term, but in the shorter term are going against you. As in, your system gets you in, and just as you do, the price consolidates. Without a developed stop loss method.. it would be too easy to exit these trades incorrectly, at least in my experience I have been reading a few articles recently about how stop losses can be bad though... in the end, i think subjectively, leaving a trade alone like that, to actually rely on mechanical stop losses, is a bad idea in general. These are financial markets after all. Natural disasters happen, unexpected economic data comes out etc.. -
Who Has A Strategy That Works??
Jack Francisco replied to kick buttkowski's topic in Technical Analysis
That guys tries to be a signal seller. He will take all your money. The best strategy is we must follow the trend if the trend is up we must buy from low. We must wait until we got the right time to enter a trade. If we open a trade against the trend, make sure it's just retracement and always put tight stop loss so we won't blow our account. :helloooo: -

What Stategy Did You Apply?- Fast or Slow Profit
Jack Francisco replied to Jack Francisco's topic in Beginners Forum
Setting unrealistic targets while trading is really dangerous as they will be more focused only the targets set by them. Most of the traders do keep high target points and not ready to come out in good profit points which is really bad. While clearing trades on the same day more importance should be given to average profits that come their way instead of waiting for more and more profits which might result in a disaster later as the trade progress. Little profits each day also will add up to a handsome profit at the end of the month which traders tend to forget :haha: -
Very good advice- If you don't have appropriate skills or knowledge in this business- why don't you used at least a portion of money to invest on education first. Try to learn something first about this business , then you invest 5k like a professional. For sure- you can get at least a few profits. So keep it on Don't lose hope

What is Your Biggest Weakness As a Trader?
Jack Francisco replied to Jack Francisco's topic in Beginners Forum
Some silly mistakes that you tried to avoid in trading , otherwise Forex will wipe you 1.Over trading is another top reason for trading failure. We need to understand the root of the problem. The root of the problem usually stems from one of the following: Setting unrealistic goals (trying to grow your account too fast) By having set targets which you are trying to meet. Trading for a living with an undercapitalized account. Trying to claw back losses. 2.It is important for traders to know what not to do. Being too proud to close out for a loss Trading because of the buzz it gives Over-leveraging and putting too much risk on the table Closing out a winning position too early Trading with a small account Feeling you always have to be in a trade / over trading Trading is such a complex business. It's a learning process which will continue for the rest of your trading life; every true trader never stops learning. -
To be successful in trading, it is important to have a good plan and strategy method. I would say that many forex traders lose money because Naivety Lack of common sense They're out of their depth They don't know what they are doing They're crushed psychologically They don't have a method They aren't treating trading like a proper, genuine business.:helloooo:

Knowledge is Power - When starting out trading forex online, it is essential that you understand the basics of this market if you want to make the most of your investments. Never invest money into a real Forex account until you practice on a Forex Demo account for at least 3months and see whether you are able to get constant profit! When finish practice in demo account, you can continue your practice on real account with micro amount maybe $200-$300 Always stay with Trends as its our friend To all beginners, when trading for the first time, it is always advisable to invest by the trends. Trading with a trend can facilitate you by advancing your chances with profit. Many new investors are enthusiastic to start trading as soon as they can, eventually ending up trading in any direction. Trade pairs, not currencies - Like any relationship, you have to know both sides. Success or failure in forex trading depends upon being right about both currencies and how they impact one another, not just one. This small tips can help you my friend:helloooo: -
Which strategy do you follow? You are impatient to make money within a few hours or you prefer slow profit with a few days ? Show us the money! Don't fool others if you don't have the evidence : helloooo:

What is Your Biggest Weakness As a Trader?
Jack Francisco replied to Jack Francisco's topic in Beginners Forum
:helloooo: Guys- Did you observe the moment that when you enter buy, the market reverses the direction and is going to the side of seller? What would happen to your account if on your first trade during that day you give the highest possible lot size that you can trade? Sure thing you will wipe your account. To have a 100% profitable trade, enter small lot size, and when the market move against you, wait for another 100 pips and enter again small lot size.
