Scalping/ reporting

[mattt]

Hi,

I am considering starting out scalping (using the Cloverix system, but have a (possibly stupid) question:

It seems that the max profit their system is set for is 2:

With this in mind, if the spread charge from my broker is 3 (which seems to be average) on these trades, doesnt that mean that on every trade, it's a loss? Unless the broker commission is baked in somewhere I'm not seeing? If so, how do you make this useful?

 

[Laszlo Dobiasz]

Let's see your first trade.
It sold at 1.3447 and closed the order at 1.3445 it means that you won 2 pips.
The sell order realized on Bid price, the close order realized on Ask price it doesn't matter how much is the spread.
As i see your broker doesn't charge commission, so you win 2 pips on this trade.

Thats a demo mate. That's why it's not calculated.

Anyway, seems like its fairly obvious that this system is meant to stuff money only into the pockets of the brokers entirely at the expense of users (unless you can find a way to lock in spreads less than 2).

cloverix system

hi matt

you wont believe this

I think i'm actually interested in the cloverix system

did u find it in the trading system and strategy section at FPA?

The most important thing in forex is CONSISTENT PROFITS

It in not the spread.....although it matters for quicker profits........
