I wouldn't touch this. If you see, the trades are averaging 10 lots each!
On Marks blog he wrote,
"25th November- SHORT
Entry: 1.5757
SL: 1.5757
P/L: 0 pips
it seemed we’ll end up in stop loss, then it returned back to profit and at last we were kicked out at BE"
How come he did not get a big minus??
As soon as he goes positive in pips,i.e. 20...does he then set his stop loss to entry level?? Am I understanding this right??
Yes. Mark is using 20 I think for BE (maybe 24?). When it hits that it sets BE to entry price (through the EA). You can also set BE Pips to 1or2 pips (or more if you'd like) and take a small profit in the event that price retraces to entry.
It all has to do with the broker entry/spread. I had BE on Forex.com, IBFX and eForex. FXDD lost 40 pips.
-40 today...
A friend of mine (old and very good trader) risk 5% on each trade with FMT.
Is anybody here use this type of aggressive money mangement ?
Thanks !
What you have to consider is this. With a system that has a 70% win rate you have a 1% chance of 8 losing trades in a row. So what this means to you is a possible draw down of 8 trades over a 100 trade period. So in the recommend risk per trade of 2% you could have up to a 16% draw down. With a 5% you would have a 40% drawdown possible. Money management is the key to any system. In my opinion risking 4% or more with this system is agressive. Risking 1% to 3% I believe you will always be there to trade another day when and if the big draw down occurs.
Please follow my progress .......(
