^^ Well, kaya while in demo pa lang, try to control the emotions na daw. Dapat mechanical. Pero that is so easy to say but so hard to do.. Yung mga veterans na po dyan, pa share how you did it =)

[ferrariEverest]

bata pa ko d ako veteran ha, LOL.. magbabahagi lang ng konti

para d mangibabaw ang emotions, maghakot kayo ng knowledge at experience.
usually, emotions ang mangingibabaw pag d mo alam ang ginagawa mo, or when u lack the necessary knowledge/experience.

trade realistically sa demo. kung ang totoong capital nyo pag nag live trading is $100 or $1000, dapat yan din ang idedemo nyo, $100 or $1000 lang. wag nyo tanggapin yung $50k or $100k na demo offer ng brokers.
kung gusto mag live, pwede naman. mag umpisa sa $1 to $100, tapos gumamit ng mababang leverage (50:1 at mas mababa)

[silent_investor]

Naka automatic kasi yung $100,000 sa demo... di ko na tiningnan kung paano ibaba sa $500. Pero ang ginawa ko, tiningnan ko kung anong lot size kung kakasya sa $500 na may buffer pa para di ma margin call. So I saw that I can trade from .1 to .3 lang. So yun ang ginawa ko.

Personal goal ko is mga 25 pips per closed trade. Target Price ko na yun para maiwasan ang greed. Psychological lang din yung $25 kasi equal na yun to P1000. So maka isang trade lang ako every day, parang P20,000 na pwede ko kitain na additional each month. Admittedly, this requires discipline which I am still working on.

^ sa oanda pwede mong baguhin yung funds sa demo account. Thanks sa tip silent_investor, ibinaba ko yung available funds  to $1000.
ANG HIRAP PALAGUIN, $2-3 lang ang usually profit ko. 

[silent_investor]

Nice freeman12 hehe at least masanay ka na ngayon pa lang. Teka, $2-3 dollars na gain means kumita ka lang ng 2-3 pips di ba? Parang ang hirap ata nun...

[freeman12]

^ oo ang baba, parang 1 pip sa usd/jpy ay $0.10 lang sa account ko, medyo magulo sa akin yung margin at leverage, di ko pa po masyado maintindihan. 

[calbert]

oo nga po e, eh sa $1000 parang ang hirap i-risk. baka di nako makatulog pag nag live ako.

Hay naku pre I already open live account of $900, I reach as of now $2,110 in just 12 days hehhee ... pre no risk no reward remember that
Para ganhan ka, open short at EURUSD below 1.3015 S/L 1.30 T/P 1.2920 then next 1.2920 ....

@ Calbert

Tama ba, target profit mo is around 80 pips and using a lot size of .6?

Nag drop na nga EURUSD kanina...

[freeman12]

galing ni bro calbert! di pa lang ako ganun ka confident para mag-live. aral aral pa.

mga sir, yung 4 po ba sa pic sa baba ay pipette o pip, nag gain po ba ako ng 50pips or just 5pips lang? medyo nalilito parin po..


sa demo kasi before ang trade ko ay 1 lot (100,000 units) na may $100,000 balance;
Ilan po ba ideal units to trade kapag ang leverage is 20, on a $1000 account?

sorry sa questions, newbie lang talaga.

around 45pips yata drop nya tsk

[silent_investor]

^^ At just this hour (since 4pm) it has zoomed back up above 1.30xx!!! That is how fast you can win or lose in forex.

Freeman12, kung 4 digits lang nakikita mo after the decimal, pips yun. Some have 5, like mine, so pipette yung amin. Ang reminder ko parati, 200 na move sa chart ko, 20 pips pa lang yun talaga.

[freeman12]

^^oo nga biglang bulusok ng USD vs eur and gbp, anyare
Thanks sa clarification silent

You to consider the last 4 decimal places so 5 pips lang n gain mo.

Thanks sa clarification bro calbert  BTW mali yata yung screenshot nung trade mo, cute baby girl kasi yung nasa pic.

Ako naman since mostly sablay pa rin ako sa long term trade (days), karamihan ng gains are from manual closing. Basta may gain na ng at least $3 at medyo alanganin yung prediction ko, pwede na.

BTW i raised my leverage from 20 to 50 sa demo. By far, di pa naman pumuputok account ko. Wish me luck.

[calbert]

Eto yung trade ko I just manually closed to last night kasi its almost 1:00 pm na dito (+3 GMT) i gain 43 pips @ 0.3 = $129 kinita kahapon  not bad for beginner hehehe
