Total Balance 372 pips down

Firstly my dear readers, I apologise for keeping quiet during this down period.

To tell you the truth, once I saw the DD getting bigger I decided besides looking at my end of week email I will not be checking my account and let it play alone. When I saw last week the email with 710 pips down I didnt even know if the position had been closed. Was that suicide?

On Thursday I checked the account for the first time and saw that the position opend on 26.01.09 had been closed on 05.02.09 with 1195 pips in minus, that is a loss of $1'334.18. Since then FxMarkets has been at work and has returned 376 pips worht $414.09, which still leaves me with only $579.17 in equity.

With two weeks left of Febuary, I could break even by the end of the month...

Did FxMarkets learn from his mistake and is trying to remake his wealth? Should I trust him again, or find another provider. The truth is, I am extremely busy this week so I dont have now the time or mind to look for some one.

Your comments are welcome, thank you Jorge, Scott and Take for commenting during my "absence". Yes, I did fall prey to FxMarkets roller coaster. Jorge, I will look at your formulas when I have a claerer mind. Looks promising. Thank you.

  2. opend if you consider yourself a trader, at it looks like you do, you should first learn how MM brokers make they money, and not even then would be justified to talk to a customer service with such an arrogant attitude.
    As an introduction, I will tell you that even if 100% of your trades are winners, the broker also makes money (unless you are scalping).

  3. I was using Zulutrade service live with AVAFX account. I was using mini account, and at first I got very good results but I failed because I was using to high risk - I have traded using 2 signal providers allowing them to open 10 positions per signal provider..

    I had slipped with one of the providers which lost about 55% of initial deposit, then I lowered my risk and gained back 30% and decided to move to FXCM micro account, because FXCM had better and faster execution.

    But I had never funded FXCM account, really don't know why now..

    Maybe it seemed a bit too high risk to underly to unknown trader, who has 3 months or less past performance.

    Also, I noticed that the best results with low risk reward ratio has the new traders - they start with little initial amount of money and carefully trades to get better past performance. And with every trade they become more and more gready - they open the same position 3 or 4 times in a half of minute. So you must be ready to check the provider how much trades he generates within one little period. As my selected provider was opening 2 or 3 trades and later on he moved to open 4 to 5 positions and if they goes wrong - 3 or 4 more. If user does not limits the opened positions, he soon can come lost..

    The best way to use this service - open micro account, select few providers who has even graph of pips, not sudden spikes, analyze how many trades they open within the same minute and limit opened positions to max 5 per provider. With such settings you may enjoy steady slow growth, otherwise you will repeat my fate (oh I wish I had read such info before I had traded).

    Besides, when I was trading I was looking for a rebate service for Zulutrade, and there were no at that time.. Now you can get rebates from me, just register at my site at ForexTradinChoice.com. As I was calculating, with $5000 account I should have got a rebate of $300-$400 hundreds, so it's to everyone's choice, to use or not to use Forex rebate service.

  4. 私はzulutradeに6ヶ月ライブ口座を開設して持っています、私の投資資金は6ヶ月の間で50%以上増えました、資金の勝つ秘密はプロバーダーの選択に時間をかけてプロバイダーページを見ることです、zulutradeのランキングはあんまりよく有りません、改善が必要だと思います、top5のプロバイーダーを選んでももし損失が出ましたら彼らはオープンにしてこのポジッオンをほったらかしにします。最初にはdemo口座をいくらか開設いたしましてテストしてみてくださいそれからライブ口座開設お勧めいたします。
