Yeah, I let him trick me ..... again :doh:

I'm out ... it went out of control :crap:

I meant Monday, August 5th .... for August contest.

Is it possible to set it up to start on Monday 5th? Or is that also to late? It would be interesting to see the performance of the "Flippin' system"

wow This time next year we'll be millionaires :rofl:

I'm in Mon 29th - heads/buy

Averaging down + too much leverage = recipe for disaster I do ok for a while with stops in place and reasonable position sizes .... and then that little red guy on my shoulder starts whispering in my ear: "what a pathetic return, you can do better than that, INCREASE POSITION SIZE!!!" ..... and somehow I can't resist

Oops, margin call :crap: :rofl: maybe next time ....

Ok, I'm in for April There's still time to join till 3rd if anyone missed that. sign up here: https://fx2.oanda.com/mod_perl/fxcontest/fxcontest.pl?rm=contestDetails&contestId=2667

Oh, I'm just lucky. But I read somewhere Ingot found the Holy Grail

It's good to hear she is recovering so well. My best wishes to her. re: contest I think max DD rule is a must. 20% is ok maybe even 30% if others want more but beyond that it's just gambling.

My "End of the world" campaign didn't finish as planed. I accumulated huge position which showed big unrealized profit (forgot to take at least some of it :crap:) but overnight it collapsed to zero. Still managed to get at least something out of it but, meh, this one had the potential to catapult me to 2nd place behind optiontimer. Maybe next time ..... I'm probably done for the year and would like to wish everyone here a merry Christmas and tons of pips in 2013

I think half of those losing trades were my fault. really must work on my discipline Often I jump in too soon/late because my lack of patience. After that post I caught nice moves in e/j, e/u and g/j so at the moment all is well

Anything I do ends up with a loss. :crap: Out of 12 last trades 10 were losers. Very frustrating

Quoting myself from post #51 Optiontimer, how big of a sample would you say we need in order to conclude (with some degree of confidence) that our trading strategy is profitable? I'm talking about real money trades not demo.
