    Qns 1. Part-time.

    Qns 2. No. I’m so busy, I hardly have any time to trade effective and efficient.

    Qns 3. I have a good method of trading but again, my problem is the time to use that method.

    Qns 4. I have bought the Forex Trailer about 1 1/2 years ago. I would like to see your support team to have pending trades for the Forex Trailer EA. I really believe the Forex Trailer EA will be the number one trade manager EA from all your competitors. (I really think you should have 2 pending orders; one for a buy and the other for a sell- when one order places – the other pending order then is deleted.

    Qns 5. Consistency of winning trades. Something like 8 winning trades out of every 10 trades placed with a 2:1 winning ratio.

  3. 1. I trade part time because i work in the day

    2. I just wished that the many trading signals that i missed while i am asleep can be traded. My trading performance could be better…

    3. still need to work and improve on my current trading strategy. The main problem is that while i improve my strategy, it become harder for me to find a software to automate the trading component.

    4. i am looking forward to renko trading capability on Metatrader 4. It will be great if the package contains expert advisor that can automate entries and exits based on renko generated signals.

    5. 80% winning trade. Be discipline in my trading at all times and achieve consistency in trading performance in 2013

  7. Qns 1.
    I trade full time

    Qns 2.
    No. i find trading to be quite an exhaustive process as i need to be in front of my trading screen the whole time to monitor and track my trades so i can do the necessary tweaks and changes if need be so that i can limit my risk exposure and maximise my profit.

    Qns 3.
    As my trading entries and exits are somewhat complex with many indicators and condition needed, i always need to be physically present to execute my trades. This is time consuming and frustrating.

    Qns 4.
    I prefer if you could help me automate certain trading process such as entry where i can customize and set conditions for entry easily so that it helps me identify and execute automatically without me being physically present.

    Qns 5.
    i hope to spend less time executing the trades manually and spend more time identifying other trading opportunities.

    Q3:i’m reactive
    Q4:set up detail and simple plane
    Q5:get more profit

  16. Kelvin Khoo

    1. full time trader

    2. trading execution and efficiency has to be improved more. Efficiency is the lowest when i am in front of the trading desk monitoring the market. Will get into trades more often when the smarter way is to stop trading when the targeted pip profit is reached that day.

    3. I think for most new traders, the greatest challenge is handling greed and fear while trading the market. Most of the time, emotions set in and they lose concentration and focus and eventually lose even more money.

    4. need a tool that i can review my trading plan. i believe i have to keep improving my strategy with time as no strategy can continue to work all the time. A tool to provide key trading statistic will be very good for improving my strategy

    5. hit 1 million in trading profits in 2013

  17. 1) I am a part-time trader.
    2) I spend too much time in analysis only to have the market swing off in the opposite direction.
    3)Where is this pair going in the next few minutes/hours.
    4)Timing the market. When to get in? And when to get out?
    5)At least 10% growth monthly in my account.

    Q4:Simple formula or system to set for entry and exit

  19. 1). Part time
    2). Not so, sometimes there’s too much things out there that it confuses you
    3). Time management
    4). Automated software
    5). Build up a good foundation that will lead to decent passive income

  20. Q1) Part-time
    Q2) Yes, it’s important to analyze the type of trade, in both technical and fundamental analysis for medium to long time horizon.
    Q3) Consecutive stop loss triggers will hamper confidence in setting the next few trades.

    and 2nd target dynamic ATR ( adjustable with 3 settings…ie 2.2 on 1st 3 bars move after 1st target, 2.0 on the next 3 bars and finally 1.8)

    ANS5.
    Plan to be consistent to win 65% and 2.0 profit to loss
