http://www.meetpips.com/members/Wilson/blog/56120-my-worst-trade-last-week-for-contest

Example for next weeks post of worst trade.

Doesn't look like you have the right numbers for me.  My account lost .14% lately down to 7.46 percent from the starting 7.60 percent.  It never lost 6.74 percent.  My stats here on this site are not updating, so it is still saying 7.0 percent.  So, lately, I lost 0.60 percent.  And I made 0.46 percent.  Those are my real numbers.

 will keep making this better. We are not even 2 weeks old

That's my high risk practice account that I am doing an experiment with trading it at the same time as my low risk account.  I am interested to see what the difference is over time.  On this account, I have had up to 15 percent at risk, so it is not an account that is sticking to the contest rules.  The other one doesn't have any gain lately.  That's the problem with mt4pips, is that it only shows the currently active account.  It is an interesting exercise to have more risk out there because it causes you to seek to pick your trades wisely, and stick to your system of entry.  Unfortunately, it might also break that account over time.  We should all probably trade low risk accounts similar to if we had high risk on the line.  In other words, we are trying to pick the best possible entries.  So, often, I feel like I get to where I feel as though I have some gain, and now it feels like no big deal to take a trade that I really shouldn't be taking, but oh well, I won't lose that much anyway.  

Contenders

Hi guys

Sorry I haven't been as active as I'd like... and sadly it's gonna get worse. I have 2 papers of study this trimester so there goes much of my free trading time. I am still going to try and trade, and make my journals here at meetpips, but if I miss occasionally please forgive me.

Here is this weeks worst... there was no best lol. http://www.meetpips.com/members/RazorX/blog/56271-meetpips-contest-worst-of-week-2

Me to. I cannot trade. Not enough time during trading hours.

Two people have been disqualified this month.

Wilson for not doing one trade this week.

Brad for risking over 2% of his account on a trade.

RazorX and beebolbod are the remaining two contenders.

For some reason, on my mt4pips, all you can see is this high risk practice account that I was experimenting with.  My other account has about 10 percent total gain at this point, but I can't get it to ever be seen in mt4pips anymore.  My stats on this site don't update either.  That account doesn't have too high of risk, I don't believe anyway.  I think it would be great if we could get a nice way to look at the stats realistically.  Not happening right now.  

I have been running that account along side my other account as sort of an experiment.  I want to see what it does over a period of time as compared to my regular account.  I would never trade with that level of risk on a real account.  It is interesting though how trading with that level of risk, even on demo, causes you to really more make sure that you feel as though you are really taking the right trades, the trades that run according to the rules you believe make up a good trade.  Anyway, have a good one guys. 

Hers best and worst for Week4. In total I made 4 trades - 1 winner and 3 losses. Net 20 pip loss this week. http://www.meetpips.com/members/RazorX/journal/8/statistics?range=1w

Best and Worst

http://www.meetpips.com/members/RazorX/blog/56383-meetpips-contest-week-4-best-and-worst

 Razor and beebolbod are the only remaining contenders at the end of Feb and I would say that Razor X should win since he had very good blogs of his trades. I will not be running this contest anymore due to a lack of time.

Hi Wilson

Thanks, sorry to hear that the contest is ending, but perhaps it is well. I was going to have to pull out of the March one due to time committments as well. I haven't even looked at the charts for two weeks which is probably reflected by my greatly reduced activity on meetpips.

Best of luck Wilson, hopefully we will still see each other around meetpips.

RazorX

And there's me on +21% ;-P

I didn't have time to journal them all to be honest... a lot of my analysis goes in another site and i cant keep up with so many places.

It's a bit of a shambles that so few people were prepared to play. Good effort to all those who tried. Time is hard to come by but there's daily/weekly TF to play with.

i'll keep posting trades here anyway (mainly 'cos mt4pips is autopost).

This is point, this is point - maybe we can split it 50/50? You win for % gained, I win the journaling. :)

You are doing very well with your trading beebolbod, congratulations and keep it up!

Too bad the contest didn't go all that well.  The settings on these sites seem to still have a lot of problems.  Nice job on your trading bbb.  Too bad we can't get this sort of thing going more.  A little friendly competition is something that could help to irmprove ones trading.  I don't trade as much as you bbb, but my percentage has been getting very high.  Still would like to see it if you can maintain 90 percent.  

I meant the statistics on these sites has a lot of problems.

The only account you can see on mt4pips is not my real main account.  And it won't change to show it.  I was experimenting with what would happen trading in a higher risk fashion compared to how I usually trade.  That account hasn't done too well.  But, sometimes it seems like I am living within some sort of rules and I am afraid to go outside them even on demo.  So, I don't really know through experience why I am following them.  

If i get time i mat start another account with fxpro and play it ultra cautious. I'm currently learning some new advanced concepts and when i experiment the profit drops a little so my hit rate is poor. I'm trying to iron out the bad habits and work on my patience with this account.

I currently play the markets like Brazil play footy - score more goals than the market. It might be best to tighten my defence and score fewer goals ;-)

Perhaps the challenge of achieving 90% success with another account may help me to tighten up my criteria.

Who knows, it may change my trading completely!
