The United Kingdom is the fifth-largest economy in the world, while the United States is the largest. With the Bank of England starting to increase in Truly unbelievable results, Ross! You should be a millionaire in no time. Hi Chris, I had a look at Myfxbook and signed up.

Rather stay below the radar at this stage. I enjoy your website and this article as I am stuck in the setting trading goal stage. How do I adjust my daily goal for unexpected trade losses, but still have a chance to meet my yearly goal? Currently my R:R I aim for is 1. I have not backtest the system I use to see if R:R 2 is achievable for my style of trading.

Thanks for the comment, Darrel. The purpose of profit cutoffs, as I talked about in this article, is to keep traders from becoming overly greedy — especially new traders. Experienced traders, however, simply take what the market gives them. What you can get out of the market each month with a single trading system will naturally vary.

Setting strict profit goals will only encourage you to overtrade or overleverage. If you need more, build upon your success by trading your system on other instruments or by adding another system. As far as backtesting goes, is a good number. I had a reader message me on Facebook recently. In your case, as with most of the other comments on the page, I feel the need to warn you. Doing the same from 10K would make you an anomaly… a freak of nature… a rockstar in the trading world. I have been demo trading in the UK one trade each day on the FTSE One spread trade with a margin value of just of £ and £30 per point.

I only trade the opening low just after the market opens at 8am. Consistently closing at £ profit may target ….. though almost always could close at a higher profit. Unfortunately, I have no experience with spread betting or the FTSE , Gary. I would suggest easing into it with small amounts of real money at first. See if you can maintain that success before you increase your position size. Compliance is harder to achieve in the USA and much more expensive , so there are fewer Forex brokers competing for your business at the moment.

Hopefully, that will change in the future. FXCM left a big whole that the free market will eventually fill, but for now, your best choice in the USA is probably Forex. com or OANDA. Hi Chris, Thank you for your inputs on money management and trading strategies. After constructing countless systems over the past couple of years, my current system is producing approx.

However, its R:R is 1. Even though it has been profitable consistently for the past 4 months, I know consecutive losses may put my account at risk. Any suggestions? This can change over time. Sometimes that means risking less and earning less. I hope that helps. Makes sense! still live to trade another day. Anymore risk would put the account in jeopardy in case of 10 losses in a row.

Thanks for putting it in perspective for me. No problem. You can always work your way up to more risk, but I would wait until you know how your system will handle a variety of market conditions. Even then, I would only consider increasing your risk while the account is still relatively small. I have a simple yet wierd question. And you decide to withdraw. How will the broker behave? Will they give you the money?? Or what if it goes bankrupt.

Is this a serious fear, or not? You can just leverage up and trade as if all of your trading capital is with your broker. I am in desperate need of some affirmation, because i want to be sure that i am not delusional. if you think my thinking is unrealistic, please let me know.

i will try to make it very short, so as to not waste your time. i did it part time for fun to learn. a year and 2 months ago, i decided i wanted to take time off from work and try to trade full time. i have been trying to develop my strategy since then.

i first traded with play money, then started risking. just because i wanted to make sure that actually getting filled in my positions, was part of the equation when it came to accuracy.

i THINK, i am getting very close. my trading strategy gives me profit. last week, i had 4 winners, and 5 losers. but i need more data. am i delusional? is this doable? Sorry for the late response. We just moved and I just got internet connection again. Thanks for the kind words.

I got started in as well. Let me list some of the good and bad things, from my perspective, that I see with your plan. Depending on your trading strategy, your strike rate sounds relatively realistic as well. You said you want to get 8 trades per week. In my experience, you should take every trade that meets the requirements of your trading system on your selected pairs — even if that means taking more or less than 8 trades per week.

Picking and choosing which qualified trades to take is essentially gambling. Do you start forcing trades? I did the same thing. Trading is hard enough to do without the added pressure of producing a livable income within a set time limit. The added pressure is just one more psychological hurdle to overcome, and it can be a big one.

It has happened before. Then again, if you already have millions, there are easier and safer ways to invest it. How can I deal with this? Also having the discipline to stop at your day loss limit can be hard when you feel you see another opportunity.

How do you deal with your losses? That comes first. Real trading profits consist of lots of small wins, losses, and scratch days. Just know that you should expect even a great trading system to fail during certain market conditions. Nothing works all the time. Lastly, using cutoff limits as described in this article is not the only way to trade.

If, for instance, your system is to take every qualified setup that occurs across 4 pairs on the minute chart from NY open to noon given no significant, market moving news is released , then you should do just that. Deviating from that plan could spoil the edge that your system provides.

Some traders still prefer to use profit and loss cutoffs. Thank you for the reply, the way you explain about not just stopping at your limit but following your system is very interesting as I have done this and turned what would of been loss days if I had stopped at my limit into profit days.

I have found also my system works better when I have more volatility in the market. I trade from the UK so usually 2. I also trade news which I find can be great. If so how do you decide what there return will be?

I agree that volatility is key to trading. I usually trade from NY open to noon ET. When I first started trading, I traded the Asian session because I still had a job.

However, given the volatility that those events can create, I can see how trading news events could be profitable with the right system. Hi Chris. Your blog is a source of inspiration and a mirror for traders. I have loved and appreciated each bit of honest advice given by you here. I started trading back in and after a couple of years of modest success, I moved to the stock market because trading spot forex became illegal in my country.

Would they even be interested? I can give more returns but im comfortable with fewer trades and consequently very little risk. Please do advice. Hello, Gautam.

Thank you for for taking the time to answer all the questions and to put valuable information for traders. because 2 contracts for the same position. Just be consistent. However, I know some people that take withdrawals for the simple reason that they are more comfortable trading a smaller account. These people generally take more risk, though. If they blow their account, they want to have those withdrawals put back to open another. If you really intend to grow your account, leave it all in.

Hello Chris, hope all is well! Nice to see you still active here. Thanks for reading. Friends and family have asked me to manage funds for them as well. That may change in the future. Thanks Chris, completely understandable. May I ask, what is your average percentage profit per day? Based on my average monthly profit figures, it would be about. I just take what the market gives me. Really enjoyed reading your responses.

I am a sports trader but still the principles apply when buying and selling market prices on the sports exchange. The question I had for you is this. Obviously there can be outliers but seems to be the norm instead if I hit 3 losing trades in my first 3 trades of the day I am done This is where I am down -£ If I hit losing streaks but not yet at the -£ level because there were also wins in there then I continue to trade until either I hit my loss limit for the day or I hit the maximum number of trades I set for each which is However I realized in the end that this strategy actually reduced my potential upside each month compared to how I am now trading.

I believe what your doing is a great model for new traders where they are so sensitive to losses that your model really gives some level of security and comfort. However for me because I understand after 7 years of trauma the nature of probability and normal distribution of wins and losses I have more comfort in trading up to 12 times per day knowing that I risk winning first 3 trades only to possibly end up with losses after and thus giving back my profit, because I know that I am limiting my downside to £ but allowing my upside to be as high as over £ — £ in some cases.

Sorry for the late response, Mel. That was something I was doing years ago with a trading system that provides lots of trades. Now I just take what the market gives me. I stick to a strict trading plan and take or pass on each trade very mechanically. Most importantly, I take each trade that qualifies consistently. As you mentioned, I do believe the cutoff techniques discussed above are still very applicable to beginners, because lots of their losses are caused by greed.

It also makes sense for certain traders using certain trading techniques like scalping to employ the cutoff method. If you have a question, please rephrase it.

Normally I end up , , in terms of wins to losses and just occasionally will be down when I stop for the day. Its almost as if when taking just a few trades per day that somehow I manage to hit my winning targets whereas if I keep trading then variance sets in….

I just wanted to know if this is something you have had experience with. I always thought variance was supposed to happen with a lower sample but reduces with a larger sample size. But with me I am seeing the effects of variance the more I trade. Maybe you have a few hours of luck each and every morning 😉 If so pick your lottery numbers during that time.

On a serious note, it could just be that your trading system is working better during certain times of the day. Are you keeping track of that with a good trading journal? Really enjoyed reading your comments and views to peoples questions. You mentioned that you could recommend a couple of good strategies.

So currently looking for a better approach that I understand. Anyway I hope the ask is ok and this message finds you well. I pulled my back pretty good about a week ago, so I apologize for the late response. I normally refer people to Sterling Suhr at Day Trading Forex Live.
