Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Hi All,

I hope you are all having a good weekend, its Sunday evening here so mine is almost over.

I dont know if any of you use Ninjatrader ? , I have been playing about with it this weekend and have found some handy indicators .

On the chart you can see the green and red dots, they indicate if the last bar closed above/below a EMA which you can set to any length I have them set at 5,20,100,200
so you can see the bigger trend. You can also make the indicator lines move in steps like on the Macd ,it makes the crosses easier to see.

Ruth, have sent you a message thru moneyam

Morning all,

I came across this on another website, Its nice to see how quick compounding builds your account.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 71 days.....
2% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 37 days !
3% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 26 days.....
4% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 20 days !
5% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 17 days.....
6% return a day on your capital - your capital DOUBLES every 13 days !

Of course this is all dependent on you reinvesting all of your returns - but even so :

1. If you started trading with �10,000 and averaged a 1% return every day
2. Reinvested that return and got another 1% the next day ect.
3. Worked 5 days of the week, 52 weeks of the year!!

Then you would have �1,000,000 in 1 year and 10 months..........................
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So on a 10k account 1% return is 100 or 10 pips ..if you risk 1% per trade you can have a 10 pip stop which isnt to outrages for a 1 min timeframe.

So I have been thinking instead of 10pips per day I am going to target 50 pips per day on the Eur/Jpy with a max of 30 pips loss per day.

I would be interested in anyones thoughts on Targets , I know it is better to let the market reverse and stop you out , but i do like the idea of getting the job done if you see what i mean.

Interesting chart, Bud, although I was more interested in the Word Doc that you had open in your taskbar called "mg hils settings" which has now been whited out since I looked in yesterday.

morning all
lovely arrers buy on gbpjpy this morning.Shame I couldn't get myself into gear earlier. Would have been a nice 100 points

Hi Hilary,

you are a sharp cookie .

I saved some charts and stuff into a word doc, so I didnt have to keep looking back at the thread.

I must say your my hero now,, I have taken 50 pips on EJ today .

Just looking at the same trades on GJ and it would have been 120.

I have never looked at the 1 min before , but I will from now on .

Ian

Hils, sorry never got round to posting a new thread with arrow thingie on yesterday, had in laws visit, will start a new thread up tonight.

hi everybody, two emas that seem to work nicely with the 1 min chart are -

5 ema close and 6 ema open

I am not sure which brokers you all use.

here is a pic of some IB spreads so you can compare.

Hmm. How very inconvenient that Buderim has a document showing other people's settings and at the same time I'm seen to be sending info out to other interested traders. It's nothing to do with me Hils, Buderim would you please confirm? Any stuff I send to other folks is only stuff that's in the public domain and I'd never reveal any confidences. Have only been in touch with CC anyway.

errmmmmmmm,


there seems to be a bit of a mis-understanding going on here.

I dont have a document from anyone , All I have done is cut and paste a few posts that I thought were useful into a word doc so i can keep them together.

I can assure you all , I am just trying to improve my trading , which if today is anything to go by ,it has :)

Ian

It's no problem, Bud, but I'm sure you can see why I was more than a little intrigued by the title of the Word Doc. I'm flattered.

:o)

I imagine meggers will be choking on his crunchy nuts ;)

How do you know he's got crunchy nuts?

:o)

Sorry if I caused a stir - just looked like a conspiracy :-)

Have to say I haven't got any of meggers settings. That should let him swallow more easily...

Hi Hils,

I dont know what your system is, I just got some good ideas from your posts ,I have never looked a parabolic before , but I saw you mention it to Ruth as a good stop method, I am finding it really good for entries as well.

I have also been using a couple of Hull moving averages set at 8 and 21 which are quite fast moving and give a quite a good idea of short term trend, I have also been using a faster MACD 10,20,9 which gives good signals when used with the parabolic.

I really like the way the jpy pairs move , if your on the right side you get a bloody good ride.

When I have done a bit more testing I will send you what I have .

Ian

Nice post number 78 Hilary. I thought things were going down hill for a moment. I'm sure we all try things others are using that are postied on the thread. We're all trying to improve everyday I'm sure.

For my part, my health has taken a turn for the better so the Doc says so hope to get my head in gear again.

Now what was that I read about arrers..................

This unwinding of the carry is starting to look a bit serious now.

The $/JPY uptrend from 2005 got well and truly smashed last week.

Indeedy. The stockbrokers will be jumping soon.

Don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but my Great Grandaddy was killed in the crash of 1928. A stockbroker jumped out of his office window and landed on his shoe shine stall.

:o)
