I finally got everything set up with myfxbook and FXCM for the latest forex contest. I'll be trading EURUSD and EURGBP exclusively using 2 free EA's. For EURUSD I'll be using FT_Scalp_Parabolic and for EURGBP I'm using EURGBP King v1.4. If I don't win the contest, at the very least I'm looking to show a profit for the month. I will be using Swiss Army EA for money management for EURGBP King v1.4 and manual intervention to close out a trade for both bots if I'm showing a good profit. AS of 8:am EST, I closed out one trade, EURGBP King $370.81 in profit.

New Demo Account

I opened up a $50,000 demo account today with Finfx.  My goal is to turn it into $300k in one year or sooner.  I will be scalping several different pair daily.

I will be doing mixed trading...an ea and manual  The bot is proprietary so there is no need to ask.  I will be using 5% risk with money management.  I am also in the process of having a bot coded for me by "Dizdique."  Once he gets it working the way I'd like it to, we'll go online live.  In the mean time, follow along with me for fun at http://www.myfxbook.com/members/h2eiXl7R/scoutkimosabi/254593 or if you are so inclined, ask me about trading this system live with me.
