Gotta ask. Whats the fastest its taken you to make 1,000%

When you say "sam s/d " are you refering to sam seiden?

Also you risked .3% per tick on this trade?

Yes, Sam Seiden.
Done in 2 trades., 164 pips and 122 pips. 1st trade off the top, 2nd trade a little bit below. It worked out that much in total.

I guess I'll need to go back a find his stuff. I'm trying to reverse engineer your entries with the info you provided.

Not that hard, really. It could mess up what's already working for you though because this thing is for those who want to wipe out the entire session's pips clean with only crumbs to spare. But I accept converts lolz kidding

Sam's S/D is good but I don't use his odds enhancers.

Live testing #1 on XAUUSD.
Sam S/D using only a quarter of the original risk.
Result: +49.12%
Comment: Successfully executed. Entry at the very top, off the yellow zone.

The excitement before boredom.

I usually do tests on a test account but this one is not because I am so confident about the concept behind S/D. Testing doesn't mean I shouldn't be rewarded with good money lolz

Where is the supply zone coming from? How did you mark it? What bodies and critera do you use? Or are you just looking at areas where you can use a 1 tick stop and call the exact moment it reverses? Color me super interested.

Also. 49% off a $15 move?

Core concept is laid out bare in my previous post.
My what ifs is what you are looking and they're nowhere to be found on the forum.
i got 2 books worth of writing where I put all my what ifs and every other stuff. Pretty old school.
49% is for 1st phase live testing.

Hope you and Lem get better soon.
Is it just old age or you guys have crappy diets?

Or maybe that China virus?

I think Lem used to be a rock climber so could be just a couple old dudes. hahahaha
I haven't seen much on your history.

No, not that virus.
Breathing issue.
They gonna check my trachea tomorrow. Well, if they couldn't fix it then my days might be numbered.

I have 1 trade and it's on NZDUSD and it was running at 150% before the weekend but I didn't close it. Let's just go crazy before I die. If I survive this whole health issue, I might try to challenge myself with a small balance, maybe it will attract new traders to come here (coz apparently they love stuff like this lolz though I'm gonna tone down the risk-taking level). I will open a new thread called NAA (Not Afraid Anymore). This is gonna be my 3rd extra live so I guess the title is appropriate.

So, N/U...

H1+D1+small tf trigger.

This one is a very aggressive trade. Almost wiped out my entire account during the first 30 min. or so. Good thing is the margin is very small compared to other XXX/USD pairs.

PS: If you still have fear when trading, then this thread is definitely a negative theme for you.

I have some questions, if you dont mind. Up 150%. What was your entry and stop? How much do you risk on the intial trade? How many pips did it move. Im sorry if you have already mentioned this before, but i cant seem to find it and the charts really dont show much or at least not from me. And you dont have to anwser this question, but who is your broker? You must be getting almopst zero spreads and what kind of leverage are you using. I only ask cuz you rarely see low spread brokers with high leverage. But you seem to have the best of both worlds. So does you broker get tired of you doubling your account everyday? Thanks man. Keep on killing it. Here im all proud with my 5R trades

When you think death is sitting next to you, you'd do crazy stuff just because.
When you go shopping you'd look for a discount so you won't have to pay the full price. So why not do the same with trading? Leverage is a discount for taking up bigger position. I use several brokers. Yes, spread is almost zero during London and NY for N/U. When you're good, the brokers actually like you. This is contrary to what many people think. Why? Because you keep bringing them the commission with your extravagant lot sizes and frequent trading. They will keep sending your orders to their pool. It also saves them the acquisition expenses for looking for new clients/ traders. They also love the idiots who keep losing money because for those types of traders, the broker will bet against them on their book (easy money for the broker also). In any way, a broker will never lose money if they do things correctly.

I guess its not to far out of the realm. Especially if you use reversal stragties like a lot of us use. Honestly instead of 7% risk, could have used 10% and made 200%

The keyword you are looking for is the level of confidence.
If you are confident, based on stats, that a trade is gonna go your way then why not go with a big size/risk?
I mentioned the psychological side before but for now, try to look at your profitable entries and imagine how much could you actually make from those trade if you use 2x the risk or 3x the risk. This situation will take you on a journey because then you will think "yes, this could bring me more but how can I make sure to get this kind of trade 90% of the time?" this will lead you to expand your what ifs list. The final result is, you will become powerfully confident with your entries and exits like never before. Everytime your what ifs list expand, your confidence level will also increase.

Try.

I like it. so basically on pairs that move lets say 80 pips or less a day, you would be looking for a 4 or 5 pip stop and you need to be at a turning point in the market and aiming for the daily range. Pairs that move 80 or over you would be looking at 5 to 7 pips most likely. Then your just risking 10% per trade. Pretty simple or am i missing something?

The market doesn't always give you that kind of offer every time you open your chart. So then, what should you do when it doesn't happen? That's one # more for your what ifs list.

[Don_xyZ]

Easy enough i guess. assuming I calculated it right. Also what the hell happened to the AUD!?!?

That is one way, yes, but more to classical Sam than to mine because I do it slightly differently.
The awesome thing about S/D reversals is you really get to enter the market at the absolute top/bottom regardless of what time frame you use.

[Don_xyZ]

Seems pretty easy. And if you got enough leverage a bunch of add ons possible

It is easy once you can see it. Regardless of the leverage, the entries will still generate awesome gains for you.
Leverage can be a pain in the a ss for you but there are ways to tackle it up to a certain point. I mentioned this hint before but what's worth mentioning is worth repeating...trade the shorts.

[Don_xyZ]

Gotta ask. Whats the fastest its taken you to make 1,000%

This question lolz

On a side note, do you know that many highly dedicated traders emigrate just so they can make crazy returns because their governments barred them from getting the leverage they so rightfully deserve? They're now practically living like kings and queens in their new place with forex money. Places like Dubai and Thailand came up on the top list

Sam's S/D is good but I don't use his odds enhancers.

I watched a few of his newest videos to refresh my mind on what he was teaching. It made me go study the chart and let it show me its hidden messages.
