Sorry, I don't understand this at all. The 25 trades "in a row" were all closed together @ 1.3614? When were they opened, and why were there 25 of them? What did I miss here?

They were trades I made during a few hours last night then crashed. I closed them all this morning when I woke up.

Until I see what is going to happen with the EUR/USD rate I have a demo running on the side just casually making some trades and closing them, etc., using one of my basic scalping systems.

No big deal.

Well, even if you leave my replies “undone”, I still have to reply.

No, I don’t have 38 wins in a row. What I do have is a string of real wins, that generate actual money. You see, I believe that a high winning percentage as you have doesn’t mean much at all if it doesn’t help the bottom line. While you did get many wins, each one was for what, 3 pips? You made as much for your broker in commissions as you made for yourself. That’s not progress. That’s not good trading.

I still maintain you are a gambler. You managed those pretend trades well, and that’s to be commended. But in the real world, you are sitting on 1400 pips loss. You come on here and beg for people to tell you that the market will turn around. You take the opinion that the market will either turn around so you can reach breakeven (aim high!) or will wipe you out completely. That’s not trading as I know it.

I call all those wins in a row without merit because they are just that. No merit. Making money in a demo may make you feel better, but it helps your bank account not one bit. And really, I have to ask. If you have the ability to make 38 wins in a row, why aren’t you doing it? Why are you sitting on a massive loss, praying to all the gods above to crash the Euro so you can get out with your skin? If you have this skill, why don’t you use it?

Go ahead and call this flaming. But I’m the one who is making money to burn.

Sorry if I'm missing something here, but I still don't understand at all. Were you "opening and closing them" or did you close them all together at the same time and price? Are you claiming 25 consecutive winning trades or 1 winning trade in 25 simultaneous but separate components? And what's the advantage of trading that way? Very mysterious ...

As I said, I am going to leave replying to you undone because the bottom line is you cannot make 38 winning trades in a row on a demo, on a live account, on anywhere with anything, no matter how you try to justify it or claim how much money you have to burn.

The proof is in the pudding and you have none. All you can do is make unsubstantiated boasts and make up things about me that are not true.

"While you did get many wins, each one was for what, 3 pips? You made as much for your broker in commissions as you made for yourself. That’s not progress. That’s not good trading."

"Many wins?" 38 to be exact. All in a row. No losses. It's called scalping. Scalping is "not good trading??" Besides myself there are others who would dissagree with you. Just because you can't scalp sucessfully doesn't mean it is not good trading.

As far as my live EUR/USD trade goes, I've attempted to position myself to get 1000 points profit before I click close trade. That's not quite "getting out with my skin." Will I do it? Stay tuned.

Again you're being requested to stop flaming this thread.

What's the "advantage" of trading having all wins and no losses?

LMAO
