Full Time Trader at Flicker Forex
I want to say, " Thank you" to all of my loyal followers.

Since I am a Trader then I know exactly what is important. Low Latency, High Security and only hosting the MT4.

My goal is to produce the best signals and provide a situation for people who need a helping hand.

Currently, if you check the slippage tab, you will see that IC Markets has the low slippage.

It seems that at different times that the slippage is different

I have had many questions about trading during the US News releases today. I will not be trading. As I say often, " A good trader knows when to trade and when NOT to trade"

There will be more chances to trade later and today I rather not chance it.

I am curious...... when a person is evaluating signals to follow, does anyone take into account the PROFIT FACTOR?

Personally, I am more attention to the Sharpe Ratio after long enough substanable trading... seldom signal could reach 0.5, the higher the safer. Then profit % is my next consideration.

As long as you dont trade like a bot, that factor has no significant indication.

Profit Factor will never have a value if a signal owner chooses to never close a losing trade and held to it no matter how long it takes. Several of them are seen here which provide a false understanding. I would evaluate equity chart and observe dd across several key event...eg 19 March FOMC news.

It's now 8:30 my time and Australia and Tokyo Markets are open. Not to much movement. Therefore, I am going to suspend my Trade Triggers and wait out Friday. I rather not get caught in a little position that will force me to hold over the weekend.

So everyone can take a deep breath and relax going into the weekend.

As of right now ( 2015.03.26 ), Candle Light has generated 1,522.50 USD this week.

Please keep in mind that in order to gain big profits we MUST see fluctuations. That is part of the trading process. Therefore, I only enter a Trade if my Trade Triggers Activate.

1471% ............ 337 Successful Trades .............. 294.39 % Profit Factor

I appreciate the nice messages that everyone left this week, it means a lot to hear from all of you.

As always if anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.

So far today I have been able to get one little trade in for a nice tiny profit.

If you have been using my signal for a while then you will know that there are sometimes dead days where there are no trades. Other times my Trade Triggers are Activating very frequently.

If anyone has any questions, please always feel free to contact me with a private message. I will do my best to answer as soon as I am able.

I hear your suggestions and I am taking them to heart. Please give me a little time to figure out a good step in order to help your trading.

Thank you for your input.

Im good with smaller profit, for me the signal provider having more funds shows commitment in his signal, there are so many out there having small fund have a few nice run and consider themselves signal provider then just abandon when something go wrong leave subscriber hanging ( had a few of that ) since his fund is small

Also, you can make trades manually when Davids trades activate. This way you can capitalize like he is. But remember to trade according to your balance. David started with 2300 USD and traded 1.00 lots per trade.

Hello All Subscribers of Candle Light https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/69013

I wanted to explain a few things so that you might better understand my trading.

Today is March 19th. March 18th Candle Light made 4050.00 USD, March 17th Candle Light made 834.00 and March 16th Candle Light made 717.00

The total for this week is 5601.50

On March 19th, after my Trade Triggers had cycled. I PAUSED the computers. I did not want to take a chance with a maverick trade that might cause me problems.

As of today, March 19th, there were a total of 36 additional Trade Triggers that activated (and as of writing this message is still going strong). As close as I can figure it, those trades would have generated an additional 6233.00 USD

Total profit 11,834.50

Now let me explain how that would have happened. The very first Trade Trigger would have activated and within the hour, it would be at a draw down of 2854 pips. Since in Candle Light trades 1.5 Lots, then my LOST on Candle light would have been 4281.00 USD.

On the path during draw down 4 short term trades Triggered for about 400.00 profit so that would off set the loss a little.

After the peek, then the price began to drop over the next 16 hours.

As or right now Candle Light would not have lost a trade and the profit would have been 11,834.50 minus any commission I had to pay on the account.

WHY DID NOT I NOT TRADE ? ? ?

If I was trading my own account and did not have the responsibility of my subscribers, then I would have traded yesterday. However, I feel an obligation to my subscribers. I believe that everyone would have panic yesterday when they saw a huge draw down such as the one I explained above.

But the benefit would have been a big pay day for all of us. This is the main reason I do not use SL. Because no one knows how high or how low the price is going to move. But it always seems to move back to the starting point or at least near the starting point.

Now for the scary news, If I had not paused the trading yesterday and IF the trade had be activated, I WOULD HAVE HELD MY GROUND AND RODE OUT THE LOSS. There would have been no other options but to play it out as my Trade Triggers Dictate.

With the above information in mind, let me say that if you trade this market, be prepared to lose all of your money. This is not a safe investment. If the trade goes against us by 100 or 500 or more PIPs then that is part of the game. No one knows the exact top or bottom but we can all do our best to try to get close to both. But in almost every case there is going to be a draw down of some amount.

Look back over history and you will see that if you had enough funds to withstand a fluctuation then you would have generated a profit on the trade. Therefore, please make sure you are capitalized and can stay in if you need to, "ride the dragon".

The purpose of this message is only to give you a bit of an insight and perhaps encourage you a little. If a trade draws down a little or a lot, that may not be a bad thing. It is just how the Forex works and how we must trade.

In any case, I will do my best for all of us.

Best Regards
David Stanton

To All of my Subscribers,

The pond was calm again today. Not much going on and not any Trigger Activations. One thing for sure is something will happen sooner or later. So be ready.

Once again I wanted to say that the sign of a good trader is knowing when to trade and when NOT to trade. I will never place an order just to make a trade so that there is action on the account. I will only place an order to do my best to make money.

Thank you for believing in me and trusting my Trade Triggers.

Best Regards

David Stanton

Sorry I don't mean to devalue your strategy or signal. I was just asking. You don't need to be so argressive like that. Your trade trigger behaves like grid ea cos it create buy/sell order that spaced at certain intervals but it might be better because it is under your mornitor and you place stop loss manually. This is just my guess. If I'm wrong, correct me. Anw, Your signal gives me some nice profit last few weeks and I'm still subscribing you this month. We are still have some open orders that need to be watch. Hope the market will go same direction with ours. Wish you best of luck.

Cheers,
David Stanton
David Stanton 2015.03.13
That's OK I should have not replied as I did. I do not want people to think I am running a simple little ea. My system is very involved. I try my best to make sure people have the best chance.

Thank you for taking the time to reply kindly and I apologize for my rudeness.

One thing for sure, there will be more to come. :)

Ha! I guess my day wasn't over after all. My Trade Triggers Activated and now I am at 613.00 USD profit for the day.

Hello All,

So far Candle Light has only activated two Trade Triggers.

Both made a profit it is always better to wait than to rush a bad trade.

Do you have Stop Loss on your order? Cos I see no stop loss and its very dangerous when the news come out.
David Stanton
David Stanton 2015.02.26
I run three computers at one time 24 x 7 and I trade based only on my Trade Triggers. As long as my Trade Triggers are active then I will keep the position open. I monitor each and every trade no matter what time of the day, if I am alerted to close a trade then I do that at that time. Who can say that 200 pips SL is going to preserve your capital. I do monitor my Stop Loss but in a very different way and method.

Thanks for your interest.

To my SUBSCRIBERS,

I have had a few questions about the lot sizes lately. Here is the plan. I will now be trading on Candle Light https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/69013 using 1.0 lot on the EURUSD. I am cautiously adding the AUDUSD to the signal. On that pair, I will be trading .5 lots because there can be several open trades at the same time. The Trade Triggers activate differently from the EURUSD. Also due to times, so far the EURUSD and AUDUSD are not activating at the same time.

So far the performance and returns for the AUDUSD has been just a good as the EURUSD.

On Candle Light I have had 202 winning trades in a row and 707% in the past 11 weeks.

The reason I am adding the AUDUSD to Candle Light is because I much rather have ONE really strong and great signal that to have two or three or four signals that are just average.

I hope this answers everyone's questions, if not please feel free to contact me directly.

Best Regards

David

I have been asked about trading DURING news releases.

The news gives me the fluctuations that are needed to make some really great trades. But sometimes if the news has unexpected information, then those fluctuations can be a very bad situation.

It's better for me to sit out the Major news releases that will have a huge impact than to take a chance.

I rather feel bad for missing out on some great profits than to feel bad for taking a huge loss.

Best Regards

Good day David,

What you said is the most agreeable to me. I am the supporter of your thoughts and style for this message.

"There is always unlimited profits to earn in the future. But there is only limited funding to lose."

I am so glad that your mind is rock-solid. You are The One.


---------------------------------------
Whoever likes to take risks of a big event, please do additional tradings on your own. Rather than asking others to do for you.

I really wish nobody will tell David what to do. If someone can do better, he/she will be a greater signal provider. Please go ahead and good lucks.
David Stanton

Candle Light Subscribers, just to be clear...

the main reason I am going to begin trading the AUDUSD with my modified Trade Triggers is my belief that the currency is not as dangerous as the EURUSD. In the past I have had three times where I was caught in a huge drawdown. I rode the dragon and it came back down and a profit was made. The AUDUSD has its share of dragons but they seem to be more calm.

I will probably take a few trades in the EURUSD but they are not going to be as often. I will only use my PREMIUM Trade Triggers in that case.

Best Regards

David

How is everyone in Candle Light. I was not expecting such a huge drawdown yesterday but as of right now each position is closed out and nice profits.

AUSUSD
My testing on the live account using my modified Trade Triggers has done great for my person account. I made 26 trades last night for a profit of 1114.00. I am going to add these Trade Triggers to Candle Light since it seems to be so awesome.

There is a concern that I have. It opens several trades at once. That is why I will not trade 1.5 lots. In my account I will use .3 lots. But I think it will be a good thing for the Subscribers.

It will be a few days before I make the addition but I want everyone to know it is coming.

Best Regards

David Stanton
