Yesterday I got absolutely chopped up and got very frustrated.
Needless to say it was all me to blame.

Today I started a new test evaluation with e8.
Started bad with 5 losing trades in a row. Not a lot in % (about -1%) but still it plays with your mind.

After that a bit wobbly but I managed to trade it up. Forgot all about the news and took a full loss on an experiment.
Because of some more freestyling my win rate is crap but the result is there.

Now I know from my previous experience the account will lock up I will try to trade my wins down for a change.
So...objective is to lose so I can try again without locking my account up. :D


Awwww....I failed, I managed to touch the target and the account locked up.

One solution would be to start a 6 hour timer, as soon as you enter a trade, to ensure that you are in a new situation before placing your next trade.

You can have 10,000 losing trades, it doesn't matter, what matters is losses :lol:

If allocate $200 to GBPUSD and after 10,000 losing trades you have $50 then you still haven't "lost" anything, you're just down.

I believe the only thing that can make it better for me is to gain more experience because when I got chopped up I was perfectly fine when the day started. When the market started ranging I wasn't able to adapt fast enough (and kept trying). I will have to learn to recognize the market phase faster and accept it. (or adapt).
And I am getting there...it's just not as fast as I thought when I started.
At the end of the day or week...my account needs to have more $, or € or whatever. I'll even accept ₿

I don't know anything about code or so but is it correct that you removed the MACD because it's too slow and added a rule above/below the smma together with the RSI and the stoch?


The current code looks for a confluence of the RSI, stochastics, and MACD, before checking to see if the typical price is above the 4 period smoothed moving average. it then waits for one of the aforementioned indicators to diverge before watching the RSI for a flip.

The more experience you have the more this indicator will tell you:

"I see that the candle is green but there is a negative RSI flip down from this area suggesting strong resistance around these prices"

If I get time away from my honey-do -list I am going to write up a 5%ers "what if" . They have opportunity for big money in the endgame, as in multiple millions a year after the split.

The previous pic is from 5%ers growth program of their $40k instant funding.

You start at a level to prove yourself ($10,000) to make $600 before you lose $400. You then trade $40,000 live.

I know it is a tight squeeze at first and you will need to watch your pennies. As you move away with profit, you will gain more breathing room.

I am going to base my "idea" on the EURUSD. I know some think it is dead and not worth trading, but I disagree. The EURUSD has plenty of movement to hit my goal. The goal is 50 pips a week. I am sure you get it, that is 10 pips a day average. That is something we talked about in the forum years back. All you need is 10 pips a day and you will be set. I believe that holds true.

I know there is a lot of discussion of high R trading, this isn't about that. It is more about trades where the size is always the same until you reach the next level. For example, you could trade your full leverage of 1:10 on each trade as long as your SL is under 5 pips.

We can start on the conservative side and use a size where 25 pips are equal to 1% of the $10,000. In this setup you will make 2% a week.

Funded Trader Level 1 requires 6% to pass so according to our 2% a week numbers it takes 3 weeks to level up.
Funded Trader Level 2 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks
Funded Trader Level 3 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks
Funded Trader Level 4 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks
Funded Trader Level 5 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks
Funded Trader Level 6 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks
Funded Trader Level 7 requires 10% to pass, so 5 weeks

33 weeks (66%) to get to the max level of 8 which shows $4,000,000 in trading capital. The split is 50/50, in essence you have a $2,000,000 account all to yourself. :mrgreen:

Going by or 2% a week theme, on a $2,000,000 account, you would make $40,000/week.
52 weeks and all of that is about $2,000,000 after the split.

I would leave cash in there to keep a larger room for drawdown. You could then do 10 pips = 1% if you are good enough. Now you are talking about $100,000 a week or about $5,000,000 a year.

This was only a basic example on the old theme of 10 pips a day. There are other ways to accomplish this especially through good Higher R trading with low risk

As a side note based on recent stats, I believe the 2% a week is the most logical outcome. MyForexFunds released data saying that their consistently profitable traders make 4% to 8% a month.

If you are on the lower end of 1% a week, no sweat, that is 66 weeks to max out and $1,000,000 a year.

Note: They do allow you to have up to 3 accounts if the need arises.

Don't go into this cold turkey. Make use of FTMO's free trials. You can get a new one every 14 days and you can learn a lot about yourself. Just remember 5%ers is only 4% Drawdown so keep that in mind.

Maybe you want to trade US30 at 75 pts = 1% so 150 pts a week gets you there also. :idea:
