Offtopic: Trader! If you trade forex, on the real, ... - page 4

 

Alexei, I can't guess why you need information about the number of trades before "you can relax", if you're not a secert, tell me

neither the time nor the amount but the number of deals...?

by the way - item 3 is impossible (imho)

 
Mathemat >> :

Got it, I see. OK, let's assume the MM is still geometric. The point value is chosen so that it is equal to 1/10000 (one ten thousandth) of the current equity. The stop loss is equal to 30 points on the four digits. Hence, the loss on triggering of the stop loss is 0.33%.

Let the system's trade expectation now be... Well, let's say 8 pips. The system makes 100 trades a month, i.e. profit in pips is 800. So, it makes about 8% of the deposit per month.

What do you think this system is - conservative or aggressive?

You can't tell from one moose. Even the MO won't help in assessing aggressiveness. What is the maximum percentage drawdown? If it is insignificant, then the rebound will be insignificant, but naturally stable (at least there will always be an opportunity, expressed in money, to think about the real problems of the TS) - this for me is considered a conservative trade. But if the deposit will wobble from a dashing PERCENT of rise to a legitimate margin call (the moment when from a "stable" 20% per month no words or deposit remain), then it is certainly aggressive. I'll pass here.

 

I am already hearing from the second (sorry, even the third) person that trading for pleasure is impossible. Eh, reality... There is no beauty in the world...

Why do I need this information? Of course, it would be even more interesting to know how much the millionaire started with and how many steps to bring it to a million. But it turns out that the number of steps determines the effectiveness of the system almost independently of the initial depo. With a geometrical MM the initial deposit can be 1000 or 10000 - the number of steps will be almost the same in percentage terms with a fixed strategy. What difference does it make if we had 500 or 700 steps?

However, if it was 200 or 3000, then it is already a significant deviation from 500-700.

There is another point: this number also depends very little on the "you can relax" amount for a given strategy. I don't think this amount is less than 100 thousand and significantly more than 10 million.

Of course, the number of deals "from 100 to 10 million" will be significantly higher than "from 1000 to a million". Well, by a factor of two. Of course, if the MM is geometric.

2 coaster: something prevents you from agreeing with me, although we are practically talking about the same thing.

 
Mathemat >> :

Yes, but hardly anyone could do that (10 trades, each of which doubles the deposit).

be the first - open a deposit of 1000 cents with a leverage of 1/500 and on a calm pair (say Eurofoon) - take a risk - pips at 20 pips

 

What am I, an idiot or something...

 

do something like that during the week - that's an interesting idea - such a casino to entertain the trader... something to think about :)





 

Yeah, point 3 is possible! If not point 3, then at least point 4...

 

Thank you very much - almost the same thing I'm about to do myself.

Thank you very much, mql4com. Almost the same thing I'm about to do myself.

That's how weird and at the same time... It doesn't hurt to die. >> we should try it.)

Of course, it would be even more interesting to know how much the millionaire started with and in how many steps he brought it up to a lemon. But it turns out that the number of steps determines the effectiveness of the system almost independently of the initial deposit.

The reality is much rougher than the maths, in reality no one will open a 10000 lot order, so you have to stomp on the usual 50 lot step to reach a lemon.
