Is this the challenge you mentioned you want to start on your live dough.
If YES, I will strongly discourage you to do.

Thank me later
Nah Bro, it's totally worth it, you should try it sometimes. I've got nothing to lose really, a $100, that's the kind of risk reward I'll take any day any time.

pls who is cj? any link?
PriceAction provided you the link but I'm not sure how good you are already, it's for someone with experience , you can give it a read though.

I'll suggest try " tms forexfactory " I don't use it but few people have had success with it and you can always build on it.

2 Solar panels - 100W each - 30/45k each = 90k
1 Charge Controller - EPEVER MPPT - 19k = 19k
1 Inverter - 12v, 200W - 5k = 5k
2 Dry Cell (car) batteries - 75Ah each - 20/23k each = 46k

Wiring

Total Budget = 160k.
Change you would have would take care of wiring and LED bulbs

Notes:
Solar Panels
Just before elections panels were 15k for 100W mono panels. You might need to price well before you get the one you need. Not much difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels performance though poly is heavier but cheaper and mono is more effective, the price difference however defeats mono's little gain. So go for poly.

Charge Controller
Go for EPEVER Tracer from Ebay. It would take like 2weeks to a month to arrive but the assurance of the product is worth it. The normal black streetlight PWM charge controller (30A, 5k) though cheaper wastes 30% - you heard right 30% of power. Also some call PWMs as MPPT so it is better to go for the bigger though more costly but more efficient MPPT. I use an EPEVER 70Amps charge controller. The higher the amperage the more panels you can stack on it. also there is a mode of arranging panels for maximum efficiency.

Inverter
Most inverters receive power from the grid (on-grid types). The offgrid types only uses solar power source which means no nepa. This however reduces the cost drastically. It is also possible to get fakes even on Ebay as some 3000W are actually 1500W ($26/N10,000). To be on the safe side go for one that is more than double your actual need. You can get several small ones and run your DC wire to each room.

Dry Cell (car) batteries
I plan on getting deep cycle batteries over time but for now these serve me well as the price gap is pretty wide. To be sure you do not destroy your battery never run it down . A 12v battery (actually 12.3v) should not be be downed lesser than 11.8v. Same goes for your laptop batteries, try not to go below 20% better still 30% and it will serve you well. Your MPPT charge controller has readings. Also you connect your charge controller to your battery before plugging in the solar panel terminals as this ensure the right supply voltage needed is read.

I am still in need of more panels as I turn off my power supply to my laptop and then turn it back on when low. This conserves power and prevents wastage. You would also need LED bulbs to save power. Anything you do not need, turn off. I hope this helps.

Wishing you well - Teemy

Yea. Thanks. The was a bit late, it was when I saw it.

Currently I don't stack trades but am working on it. Would be loving tho. Sure thats where the money is.

Sure, am still learning and testing some of cj 's stuff on demo. I know I do lack patience at times(i wish say I fit dey as patient as pipsbasketings, that guy nah boss)

Am interested in the challenge but not mentally ready now. Am a bit distracted now

Yes, those A++ setup don't always come by all the time but they are worth the wait with regards to challenge( no be small be that).

For me, I will go for a shorter TP, 40-50pips.

Here some idea from a guy that did 50usd to 500usd, hes RR is 2:1, hes SL is twice hes TP in pips.‎
You should tag the guy, bring 'em back to nairaland smiley

Our guys broke the rules of the game. Actually the guy was trying to 'steal' systems and resell. But he was paying the contest winners well (5k, 10k) and then owning the rights to resell their systems. Not a bad trade though but for me not worth it sha selling the golden goose that lays the eggs. Our guys were then picking systems from online sources and claiming them as theirs.

Currently working on that target with consistency.

Some of us like to cut corners and close the door behind and spoil show for the rest of us.


incredibleace:
sure bro, we need it. so we can break the bank.

cj is just too good, the man dey vex gan

they is always room for improvement. am still studying those cj materials and doing more research.

I came across some stuffs on a similar trading system " 3MW trading"on ff, ( but I heard ff either hid or closed it. the results were mind blowing) I can only access the first n last pages of the thread...will share the link later here
I'll google it, never heard about it. Maybe it's in senior/paid members only. Trading W/M requires some discretion and knowing what you're doing.

teemy:
Actually most nigerian traders can produce double an account in a month and even weekly. the problem has always been consistency. My formular is just one way to work on one's targets and achieving them in an easy to work timeline.
You're right, doubling account is not the problem, doing it consistently is.


teemy:
I was once under those types of stress for so long a time. Members here that started this thread in January would remember my saying I have a target to start trading by mid year after ensuring my power supply issue was totally resolved. By mid year I was fully solar powered.
How did you go about it, I'm interested. Maybe I could help my folks get one back home (Sorry just saw your answer above). What contest are you talking about?

I have heard about the 100% monthly system, but I prefer the 9 net wins. to me its do-able currently. I just need to take my time and pick very nice entries with a high win rate
You see why we have to stack trades lolhuh I know I can't be like CJ but I need to be better mehn... So much room for improvement. See all the space just empty. It's terrible. I need to work on it on demo and transfer it to my real account.

Good trade you've got there, I'm still in those too, entered little earlier.
Do you ever stack trades? I've heard that's where the money is.


I need to set up a demo account to work something out and see what I'm comfortable with.

Ps: Just set up a sub live account for my 9 net wins challenge. Nobody want to join here? it's just tiny 100$ challenge smiley
I'll only be entering my A++ set up, bad thing is that those don't appear frequently enough.
Set up with 10-20 pips max. I'll be aiming for anything 80-200 pips.
Challenge requires only 1:2 RR.


You guys should wish me luck smiley wink

Any pointers for me before I go ahead with my challenge?

when I started I tried a lot of strategy and systems like renko bars, MACD, heiken ashi with EMA, CCI, RSI, I made profit but I wasn't consistent.

but somehow I kept coming across price action trading, I actually learnt a lot until someone mentioned captain jack on this thread(it caught my attention). so far my trading have improved since then.
Oh you just reminded me of renko bars, chart with no time reference, I tried various variation, backtest , forward test and all but still not making any money smiley

I have a similar calculation but one which does not place too much risk on the account. First saw the analysis on Traders Secret Society owned by Marc Mcrae (If I got the name right)

Starting balance $250 account doubling every month over the space of a year.

Start $250
January ending - $500
February ending - $1,000
March ending - $2,000
April ending - $4,000
.

.
December ending - $1,024,000


Wishing you well - Teemy
Haven't heard of the society. Good idea but I can tell you for sure this is Sooooooo difficult to achieve, aiming for 100% every month also suggest blow your account in a month.

Mine is more of a challenge, no one should trade his/her real account that way. Mine is just 9 net wins, can't even compare to yours. I won't even attempt yours because I think it's very difficult and only few people in this world can attain it. I can't realistic say % I'll attain at the end of the month, I just follow the market.

So are you working on this right now?

Ps: Why are you guys selling U/J now , I need it to close bullish, so I can sell the sh*t out of it tomorrow and make boat loads of $$$... Please help push it back up smiley

Pipsbasketings:
Yes bro, I checked the W1. It would have been a very excellent buy but two things

1. The pin candle that formed last week made it indecisive.
2. Why look at W1 to trade, if you do it means that you may not go out of a trade even after about 7-8 candles, that is about 3months in a trade,
it's too much. Moreover, a strong buy may show on W1 while I see a sell on D1, I am entitled to sell because I can get about 7 sell candles on D1 w
hich is just a week candle in your case. Don't forget that by me doing this, I could sometimes earn about 700 pips or more just on D1.
I'm not sure that pin count for much at all, sideways PIN, it's not at the top or bottom. If I'd play it, I'll just find where I can get in with reduce risk.

What have really helped your trading? what thread did you stumble upon, that helped shine light to your trading, if you happen to see the aha moment??

Remember thinking I've seen the aha moment few years ago "I have seen more than few but usually get my ass handed to me and I'll come back to reality" but market being dynamic kick my butt again.

Was trading Pimpology, my 2nd or 3rd sytem, I didn't know jack-sh*t then. I have indicators all over the place, not even looking at the price itself. I don suffer oh lol.

Watching this, I'm looking if the support would hold for a scalp buy(25-50pips). 36mins to decide if the support is valid for the time.

Ps: Should you think I'm... I'm far far from expert, I still learn new things everyday. I've seen some real good traders, some entries that will blow you away. Ask Incredibleace

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11:
Ps: Note those few hundred pips, was entered initially with 15-30 pips MAX.

People think, larger time frame always require larger stop. Yeah for some, but there is a way to go about it, without having to use big SL.

I've entered more than few trades on weekly chart with 20-30pips SL, that way I could maximise my TARGET.

Thanks bro, Im still doing demo. Not in any hurry to go live.

Yes, insta suspended the account and asked me to fund with $50 to start trading again.
Ask support if you put $50, can you withdraw the total which would be $150. I doubt it as there's volume trade target requirement.

Instaforex plan is, give bonus, suck in new traders, deposit money and eventual lose everything.

Good you're still honing your skills and not in a rush.

Hello gurus,
Is it safe and advisable to set a new trade on friday till following week?

I'm a newbie.

Also, I heard from different corners that I shouldn't take instaforex bonus, that it comes with arious harsh conditions, how true? How can I reject the bonus if I want to? though I have traded with the bonus and earned 10% already and therefore suspended till I fund the account again, can I still reject the bonus?

Thanks
Safer to wait till Monday, to avoid possible weekend gap but you can still do intra day trading.

So they suspend your account after making 10% ? I'm sure they will ask you to fund next. Bloody thieves.
I'm sure you can always write to support to have them remove the bonus. Please if you're new do extensive training on demo before going live.

Good luck mate.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 6:59pm On Sep 28, 2017
It's not for everybody, you need to have a solid method/system to even think about it.

You need a good win ratio and not get caught up with losing streak to start with.

Remember you are only risking 100$ total, or 50$ total, depending on the variant you're working with.

Not so big capital.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 6:53pm On Sep 28, 2017
wamiikechukwu:
sorry oooo but i don't understand.

are you talking about the win ratio, pls explain further?


The order of the wins and losses doesn't matter.

When you use a 50% stop loss and 100% take profit, a losing trade will only cause you to lose the profit you made on the last trade. When you scale your leverage down to compensate for the loss, a winning trade will get you back to where you were before the last trade.


R:R 1:2

T1 -Balance $100 - Risk $50 - Take Profit $100
T2 -Balance $200 - Risk $100 - Take Profit $200
T3 -Balance $400 - Risk $200 - Take Profit $400
T4 -Balance $800 - Risk $400 - Take Profit $800
T5 -Balance $1600 - Risk $800 - Take Profit $1600

T6 -Balance $3200 - Risk $1600 - Take Profit $3200
T7 -Balance $6400 - Risk $3200 - Take Profit $6400
T8 -Balance $12800 - Risk $6400 - Take Profit $12800
T9 -Balance $25600 - Risk $12800 - Take Profit $25600

Which totals = Balance $51200


===============================

Risk = 50%
Reward = 200% (4 fold)
R:R 1:4


$50 total, first trade risk $25
Win = $150 total
Win = $450 total
Loss =$225 total
Win = $675 total
Win = $2025 total
Loss = $~1000 total
Win = $3000 total
Win = $9000 total

yea I saw it in ff earlier, I think its possible, a certain guy/man in nairaland has done it before($50-$500+) in 5 trades. there was how he did the calculation(i have forgotten) on the lot size.

I think if you take the best entries( pinning it on the foxes tails) you stand a greater chance

Note: newbies keep off, I stay away for now maybe in the near future(when I get plenty dollars to throway)
($50-$500+) in 5 trades is good, not enticing enough. That's like 1,000%, a lot though but I'm talking 100,000%

You got that right Bro. I think it's very do able, at least for me, it's more of the emotional and mental side of it that you have to fight first. Say taking a $4000 risk on just one single trade.

I can see myself pinning it to the fox tail, only A++ trade set up.

Anybody up for the challenge ?

You get the point? As long as you get those 9 Net Winning Trades, you will make a 100,000% gain. Of course not losing streak.

T1 -Balance $100 - Risk $50 - Take Profit $100
T2 -Balance $200 - Risk $100 - Take Profit $200
T3 -Balance $400 - Risk $200 - Take Profit $400

T7 -Balance $6400 - Risk $3200 - Take Profit $6400
T8 -Balance $12800 - Risk $6400 - Take Profit $12800
