Long story short, I was good at this game that only gives you candlestick charts for analysis. I was wondering if that would be enough in the real market or if it took way more. I shortened it up because it was too long. On middle screenshot I raised risk to 50% or so and missed some trades towards the end of the 200 day period. Every screen touch makes one day go buy , stop loss and take profit are on the screen as well. If you miss the take profit or stop loss line with your finger the day goes by and will blow threw your take profit or stop loss depending on what you set it to as default. To avoid that if you decide to play the game just set your stop and take profit to levels that the market cant reach in one days time. There is no day trading on this game. Every candle is 1 day.
You can trade how you want. Nobody can tell you what is right or wrong except for yourself (and profit/loss report of course). Take everything you read as advice, not a rule. You even said it yourself, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Open a demo account right away and test it out for real.
Also, what is this game that you are talking about? I’m interested in learning about it.
The game is called The Forex Game in the Play Store for Android and idk about ios.
Correction I guess the data is not all from 2002 , screenshots shot 07-08. Also although the screenshots say things like 279 days you are always only given 200 days to trade with per session in the game.
The last screenshot is a perfect example of winning many trade but not knowing what I was doing as far as risk and things like that and missing whole days because you miss the take profit or stop loss line and instead cause a day to go back often running your pair directly into your stop that you were just about to place in its initial place. -_- Before you start the game you choose the default take profit and stop loss line and you have the option to move it later.
Try it out buddy its fun as all heck!
Here’s my suggestion; and, please note that I didn’t read your entire post, I essentially stopped here only because I’ve seen these “types” of threads on countless forums.
3 weeks isn’t enough to tell you anything, especially if real money isn’t on the line. Now, I skimmed your post and didn’t see anything mentioned about trading w/ a live account- if you did, I’m sorry I missed it; there is just a ton of text here…
Setup a live account w/ [B]money you can afford to lose[/B].
Trade it for 90 days.
See where you stand.
90 days is a good litmus test as to whether or not you have something solid on your hands. Journal every decision you make. Recap @ the end of 3 months.
I mentioned in my post that although I have had access to practice trading I have used it for only some hours.With that being said I didnt think 3 weeks of practice trading was enough to tell me anything. It was the time I spent playing the game I was more concerned with. Either way the answer would likely have been the same. Get a live account , try it there. Will do, eventually.
yeah you can go with it. there is no man to perfect and do not know every thing . So try to learn more and more and practice more to become best in Forex trading.
Is this trading game called demo account?
