    Hey TDION,

    I watched the tutorial clip. It does not clarify WHAT multi-plexing how to take action or is. It didn't look very informative, do you mind sharing what you have learned (actually just the basics?!?) . I would love it.

    I also was puzzled initially. It took me a few minutes staring in the diagram to comprehend. You just have to try and adhere to the logic behind the numbers.

    Split every commerce to 3 lots (components)
    Stoploss 50pts
    1 lot exit at 50
    1 lot exit at 100
    1 lot leave to run (looks like 150) from last row.

    For next commerce
    In the previous trade take all your losing lots and multiply by two
    In the previous transaction for each winning lot add 1.

    Add up the lots

    Make it divisible by 3 either by rounding up or down.

    Thats the Amount of lots for another trade.

    You can see in the diagram you can see how the method type of increases your lots when you lose and decrease your lots when you triumph.

    Note the management of every transaction changes according to 'a' egy so it is not an average down form of egy.

    Just my observations based purely on the diagram.

    You can change goals and stoploss to match with your particular egy. It hasn't been tested by me and it'd take a bit of testing to find out if there was any benefit to this than a regular in and out egy.

    I'm suspicious about this FXTrend... is this the same guy/group that utilized the 3 Elliot Wave indiors on the FXCM default charts? People claimed that they got outcomes trading in the direction of what the indiors were showing !

    Just thought I would ask.

    For generating their signals, they do not disclose their trading egy. They assert their signals are creating from 20 TA indiors.

    The purpose is to find worth in the multiplexor money management egy. I am not advoing their sign services. FTP signals are generated by a liscript that's embedded in FXTrek licharts.

    Hi,

    In past performance http://www.forextrendpointer.com/mul...ance_chart=136
    the last 3 trades were shot at a max of 48 lots so going from 20000 to 14000. Basically 4 winners in a row with losses and partial wins ahead to raise the number of lots.

    You would have to translate that into money with compounding before you understand the full impact of that kind of win/loss effect.

    This multiplexor kind of money management egy doesn't appear to be kind for your money if you lose several times in a row in the maximum specified lots.

    Alan,

    Good points. Let's look at the truth... trading FTP this year (since Jan 1) would have afforded 14,000 pips to date. That's pretty darned impressive.

    They were trading in the EUR/USD rectangle pattern this last two weeks that caused a string of 5 or 6 losses...

    In case your system is reliable and you can remain from rectangle trades then the multiplexor is most likely a wise move.

    That's my 2 cents.

    It's good that the multiplexor money management egy by FTP has ended up with '14,000pips' to date.

    However, it moved from 20000 to 14000 in 3 trades. 30% DD in 3 trades 'in pips'.

    Additionally pips calculation is only a rough guideline it 'could' be profitable. I've found in my analysis which all pips are not created equal

    Simplistic and stupid but approximate example. Should you trade your account with a risk or leverage of 1000pip loss is equal to 50 percent of your account, then after a first 10000 pip profit, a subsequent 1000pip will still lose you 50 percent of your account even though on paper you've 9000 pip win!

    I would have to operate through each and every trade on a spreadsheet, exercising the trade size for every trade, profit and loss in cash before coming to a proper conclusion on the multiplexor method to see if it is far better than the 1 lot method detailed here http://www.forextrendpointer.com/1contract.php

    I leave that as an exercise to the reader :

    I've learnt from many scenarios that the way the pips arrive, if you get started trading in the particular egy and the way the drawdown occurs all affects your bottom line.

    I'm just not getting it.

    If I have $2000 and'm investing $1/per pip, then a 1000 pip loss would put me at $1000. ('50 percent of my account')

    So I receive a 10000 pip gain ($10000) that puts me at $12000. I then endure a 1000 pip loss to put me 11000.

    Is this right or am I missing something?

    Thanks.

    Open a Demo with ATX. They'll send you a trial for lecharts. You are able to program. You can trigger an alert to you Cell from that point, should you use Yahoo.

    Alertfx.com is just another absolutely free alert website.

    I trade the 4 and 20 EMA about the 1 hour chart. More than 150 pips from night to now. You have to be on the lookout for Wipsaw everytime the traces cross one get a fairly good move. Usually if it does wipsaw the traces crossing again behave as your stoploss.

    Apologies for not replying to your post sooner since I missed your reply.

    $2000 and $1/pip indies a ratio of $1/pip for every $2000 you have on your account.

    IF you are trading at a constant percentage afterward as your balance increases afterward you will be increasing your risk to benefit from compounding.

    So once you have $12000 on your account, and if you're claiming the ratio you began with then you would be trading with $6/pip and a 1000pip reduction would give you $6000 reduction, thus half the account with a running total of 9000pip profit.

    The above doesn't apply if when your balance increases and you continue to trade at precisely the same size as you started out with, that has the advantage of lowering your risk and leverage but also reduces the advantage of compounding.

    Best regards
    Alan
