iCan Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Re: pyramiding you must have big margin, ad good long term technical analysis before you do that, it's really very dangerous Quote
armandog Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Re: pyramiding Is this the same thing as Martingale ??? Quote
tsiridak Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Re: pyramiding 1 am not recommending it for newbies Quote
luc33x Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Re: pyramiding In some way, pyramiding seems similar, not to a martingale, but an anti-martingale. There are however differences. And, if risks are managed properly, pyramiding is not dangerous at all. But you need to know and to learn how to do it properly. Quote
blueocean83 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Re: pyramiding Does a pyramid like a martingale? Il didn't understand. Quote
luc33x Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Re: pyramiding Does a pyramid like a martingale? Il didn't understand. blueocean83, A martingale consists in adding new positions to losing positions. There is an infinite variety of martingales depending on how you calculate the trade sizes (an example is doubling the size after each losing trade). Many present EAs are based n such martingales. An anti-martingale is similar, but it consists in adding new positions to winning positions. Thus pyramiding when you are in the right direction of a trend is an anti-martingale. Hope this is clear.

ktkomo Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Re: pyramiding I wouldn't recommend this kind of pyramiding techniques, they always end in the same way after a huge trend, but that's something that probably every trader has to experience on its own. Quote
brtan Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Re: pyramiding I agree that pyramiding is not simple. To share with you my experience. I have a 1k live acct attached with Pointbreak. It hit margin last year Aug 08. Quote

napaj Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Re: pyramiding Hi, I think take your profit and be happy. To not try to make huge cash :D Playing with fire is dangerous ;) Quote
⭐ birt Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Re: pyramiding Hi, I think take your profit and be happy. To not try to make huge cash :D Playing with fire is dangerous ;) He's mostly right in my opinion. Unless you have a proven technique and the proper lot sizes, it can be rather dangerous. Not even discussing martingale which is a sure-fire way to lose your account. Quote
kenex Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Re: pyramiding By not aiming huge profit I have now less losing trades than before. :) Quote
Trader99 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Re: pyramiding Pyramiding can be a very effective method of increasing returns while managing risk, however, it is usually better suited for longer term trades. Quote
