Hope you’re doing well mate. Glad to see you’re still active with this thread - very grateful!
I’m still plodding away in the background with your stragtegy, and have mostly been successful as well.
Just done an exercise and reviewed every single pair I’ve traded in using your strategy. Man I need to let my winners run as I would’ve had some big ones! Definitely an eye opener.
Really nice thread for beginners like me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Got into forex in 2017 when a friend, who is a full time trader, asked me to create an EA to help him analysing the market better as i was a software engineer student(Btw i just completed my degree yesterday, there is a new software engineer in the town!! ahahaah).
Since then, i started learning about forex and getting some knowledge in my leisure time. I have created different EA implementing mechanical strategies in order to test my skills.
Do you think that your type of approach to trading could be executed by using a software like EA, or you think it can only be done manually? I’m really trying to understand if automated trading could be a path to follow or it is just a waste of time. As i really would like to maximise my programming skills in the financial markets.
Agreed 100…I don’t use the same platforms…been trading professionally for 15 years. Something seems a little fishy.(boisterous) .When I crush 40% in a month I keep it to myself. Maybe Im just superstitious. Interested to see where this goes. People posts the wildest ■■■■ sometimes. Lol
Congratulations @The_Baller on your new family member. My wife is also working on our second addition.
Before I came across this thread I was convinced I’d be happy scalping and slaving at my screen for 8-10 hours a day. Checking MT4 every 30 seconds. You know the drill.
This morning I let my first trade run and it easily tripled what I’d normally make. I love the laid back approach and hunting down the information in this thread really gave me some kind of weird masochistic pleasure. Bravo for not just laying down some rules and abandoning the thread. It’s obvious people here are oozing with admiration and lapping up the knowledge, myself included.
Please keep contributing and checking in. I’m in my early 40s now, looking to change careers and you’re giving me the motivation to believe I really can provide, and then some, for my growing family when I take the plunge.
Is there some kind of pizza charity I can donate to on your behalf?
