Thread: My way to highway

    Hellp PF, welcome back.

    Can I ask how much is the commision you compensated for ICMarkets compared to your own earnings? Do not need the actual numbers, only a percentage based off your earnings will perform. I am using ICMarkets too and the commision is really quite a lot and I am not even scalping as far as you do.

    Hi CR,

    A very valid question and I enjoy it!
    Generally, when scalping commission (and of course slippage on implementation) can and do eat up profit fast.
    There's very little room to assist this. One would be to try to loe an IB deal, which will decrease commission a lot, in my case @ICM, in the 7$/lot to 5.5$/lot.
    Another similar options is is an immediate deal with the broker, made on some volume or other merits, like I've @Axi, reducing my 7/lot to 5/lot.
    Unfortunate, that where it'd matter mainly, especially now, @Fixi, I don't have such luxury... They'd be willing to lower commission only when I put on my trading account considerable more. . .something I have not yet done. . .all despite that I've a substantial designation out of them (approx 1.2 million prop money). Not that they're charging for themselves the same, but my performance derived in the master acct there, that transactions with 7$/lot...

    Now, to answer the query, on overall, because I'm scalping for smaller gains, and of course commission is paid no matter win or loss on a transaction, I can tell how overall gains compare to total commissions paid, and thanks to myfxbook I just look up the numbers for you

    Custom times become involved, of course.
    My connected TE, ICM: commission is 21 percent in comparison to my total profit produced....ie. To place 10$ within my profit, I paid the broker 2.1$ out.
    That is relative great, when scalping, in my opinion.
    My 2x risk IC account the amount is 39%.
    On Axi it is 65%. (this excludes performance fees on prop deal)
    And on Fixi 95%. ( this excludes the operation fees on prop arrangement)

    As above mentioned, things, by large also depend on couple other aspects, like the account beginning date, etc..
    Even various other measurements don't always agree, like Axi and Fixi, profit factor is technically indistinguishable, and 1.29 and 1.28.
    Even that, doesn't have much real life meaning, as it pertains to buying markets, the cashier asks for cash.
    And while total Axi paying less commission, or has marginally better profit factor, in $ conditions the Fixi account has been the greater deal up to now.

    At the end there's the complete story to think about, always.
    If anything, I try to keep gains about 3x greater than commission paid, but in the end whatever comes, it really matters not that far.
    Even if matters 1:1, a trader can make good income.
    It is just the cost to make business.
    If there's a way to decrease cost, I try, but as long as end of month the trading does produce a monthly fairly decent income, I'm not hoping to involve a design drift to tailor alternative outcomes; ie. Happy enough to cover whatever the best available commission to my situation, without thinking too much about the way they relative to gains, per day, or generally.

    Happy weekend!

    Thank you for the thorough explanation. I am currently doing about 26 percent each profit for my ICM account. I am scalping like you but my typical pips and time ought to be larger since you exited in comparison with mine. I notice most of your transactions are fast in and fast out although your typical duration states differently but I guess it's just based on large samples and one or two transactions holding over several hours out your typical duration time.

    What I don't understand is how on Axi or Fixi you are doing 65 percent or 95%? Meaning you are spending the broker $6.5 per $10 earned? Is that possible? I have no experience with these accounts things but it sounds ridiculous or undoable, isnt it?

    P/s, I am using cashbackforex for my IB deal. Any other recommendations for a cashback deal that is better? You can pm me if the forum doesnt allow marketing here. Thanks!

    um, possibly a few more details, afterward.
    Great news, it's a journal, therefore, write anything I need, and it's still on subject

    first the cost part....not 6.5$ per 10$ earned exactly. . .better know that to make 10$ for me personally, actually I need to make 16.5$ profit ( in this example).
    Of course that is the intense side. And matters are in general better.
    The mentioned accounts has different start date, thus the amounts involved are different too. The attached ICM in TE running longer, very good times has some smoothening impact over several intervals that rougher, such as last Dec and Jan both seen some drawdowns.
    Again, as a reminder, not just winning positions cover commission, but losing trade do too, thus compare overall commission versus overall profit is not necessarily the full picture.

    Holding period:
    the ICM acct in TE, I had been doing some swing trading initially, and from start of August chose to just use the scalpign component, to make a clearer product for prop trading opportunities. Part wasn't to maintain evenings, and more powerful overnights.
    my TE account still shows 9h35m ordinary holding...
    versus the pure TE accounts:
    ICM 2x: 15 min, Axi:16 minute, Fixi: 18 min.
    again, the various account beginning times. . .but there is obviously not much difference.

    Frequently comes up, what good or fair prop trading conditions may be.
    Thought it would be interesting to find out what the opposite end of the spectrum is, therefore here is a good example what I believe highway robbery:

    You are right; it had been. But this one was different. I got baited to believing it was a regular movement; I had been expecting it to be odd till it started to behave especially regular. That's what threw me off. I started to believe I was a day early.

    It has been almost 8 months to the day which started this journal, and have to admit that I didnt think it will survive this long.
    The starting out was slow, the curiosity very restricted, possibly because I had about zero effect on the forum. It can as well saved journal from trolls.
    There is likewise very few fancy charts published, and lots of the topics that appear are subject to view.
    It's a journal, of my journey, and matters that interesting for me, may be dull to others, believing that I find helpful can be useless to others, and a few can totally disagree with my view about anything,or what.
    Things came quite a distance for me since end of June, when started to write this journal, I did go soon after full time, I'd make (and additionally passed) the bracket I deemed my target to stay full time trader, I have lended multiple prop bargains to enhance my lowest lines ( and even turned down multiple proposals! , something I would never think I would).
    I'm making a solid living, but I am not earning 6 digit incomes ( yet?) Nor I am close to be a geek, just like a lot of here.
    I'm just a normal joe trader, such as the majority of the names on the forum, I figure.
    But average joe traders can also have discipline and plans to follow thru 'their way to highway' just since I made it to 'my way to highway'.
    I'm very proud of the fact that I needed a dwell TE posted along this journey, to demone that no huge monthly gains required to succeed in this match, and this consistency is possible (perhaps not only in words, most offer in the forum, but also for actual, visible fashion).
    Things worked out good so far, beyond my expectations, ( or if write dre instead?) , and whatever the future brings I am greatful for what we have learnt from this travel personally.

    Also the motive of this article really a THANK YOU! For all of you who some stage invested your time to check out me, and even bigger thanks to people contributed some to the ribbon too.



    as of now, the journal just handed 100.000 views, a great great landmark, and after the above mentioned slow beginning it demones that many really found worth reading it, and hopefully some inspiration too, that things can be done that way as well. My way could be anyone's way who give up chasing 100% monthly unicorns.

    And here, my subscribers and buddies, without them this would not happen! Thank you!

Without going too deep into it, just to get a suggestion: I don't care if RSI crossing the 30/70 lines...
