Not Every Trade Makes Money

[Bart_Decosta]

How true it is, not every trade does make money. Traders, after analysis of various inputs, reach a conclusion, and enter the trade.

my very small lot sizes and risk control techniques. I got to cut my losers, or else I’m in trouble. I just make the losses to be so small, so that whenever the market conditions become ok for me, I shoot ahead. For example, if I win 10 or 15 trades in a row, I gain about 10% or 16% or even more.

I don’t know how tight you keep your stops, but I would not be surprised to hear that you get stopped out a lot. I am not sure how very small lot sizes result in 10% to 16% gains, but let’s not even go into detail. As long as your approach works for you, keep doing it.

Anyone of you guys use Social Trading platforms like zulutrade, etoro, ayondo etc. and would like to share their experience. You might have a few good traders?

At ZuluTrade I like the following traders:
Newwave (just awesome/ big drawdown possible?)

aBaxs-news (news strategy)

Azar Consulting (good risk/reward ratio and consistent profits)

Qurenix (German quality )

Scarlettrader (good communication)

FRS_USD (could be a rough diamond)

How true it is, not every trade does make money. Traders, after analysis of various inputs, reach a conclusion, and enter the trade. The analysis can include a myriad of inputs. Initially, most traders tend to rely on technical analysis, probably because it is easier to get a rudimentary grasp on the markets behavior. Since price action, as portrayed in a charts, is the summation of many different inputs, this is a logical starting point.

Sometimes we look at a chart, and envision a formation, and conclude the price will go to a certain objective. Accordingly, a position is taken, and the result is profitable; this leads to confidence and interpretation of other formations. And, yes, we all know how this ends. Making money on our first few trades can be costly. We think we are a trading natural and then losses occur in both our money and our confidence. It is time to go back to the analysis room.

Then it gets confusing. There are so many inputs from so many different sources. Markets can be driven by fundamental economic events, news releases, various central bank policies, and most of all fear and greed.
That’s why resources like BabyPips.com and ForexRazor.com are so important (and free): there’s a world of a difference between gambling and risk-managing your ‘wager’. If you are going to survive as a trader you must learn, as they say in the song “when to hold them and when to fold them.” Further, you must
examine what caused you to initiate the trade and then learn from your losing trades.

first of all i like your piece here, well money can be lost even if you feel you have determine the market. sometimes things can happen in quick succession that can affect the market. this is where proper fundamental analysis is really important.

Correct. I think the key here is to be controlled aggressive. Just know your limits and know when to halt.

ZuluGuard is definitely a vey nice feature. To minimize my drawdowns even more I use a demo account. With this demo account I test potential traders, before I add them into my live account.

Its a true fact that not all the trades can make us money and thus we should focus towards the net profit rather than crying over results of one single trade.

Well cashbackforex is nothing but the rebate system. You trade in any broker listed under them and for certain lots traded you can get a portion of money paid back to you.

Still don’t get it? Compared to zulutrade how does this one differs, or doesn’t?
Rebate does this means i get to copy trades or send signals, as well?

[peleus]

I think that’s what Zulu is offering too. So we could say that there’s no difference at all?

[EDDY_MO]

Well come one, zulutrade is much more advanced and there is traffic
I mean, from what I have seen and tried, there is no actual comparison to zulutrade :57:
