Hello tomele, currently demo trading FXT-SPB-3 as it is (nothing changed/modified in the settings). Could you please clarify how profitable trades are realised? The reason I am asking this question is because several times the floating PnL rises up to nearly £200 but the balance stays the same (£10000) since I started trialling FXT-SPB-3 a few days ago

Example of what I mean is in the screen shot below I just took. The floating PnL is £167.76, the equity is £10167.76, the balance is still at £10000. Does the floating PnL have to reach a certain amount before it is realized? Thanks

Any pair will close after an opposite signal has been send.
If a pair has 'buy' trades open, a new 'sell' signal will close all buys, and new sell pendings will be send.
And so on and so on.

Okay, so it's not basket trading. Just confused why no profit is being realised. The floating PnL goes way up, and then down again, and balance is just static. Looking at the account history, no pair has actually been closed so far, so guess no opposite signal so far. Thanks

I can only start to imagine what amount of patience Tomele must have had trading this.
Sitting on ones hand doesn't describe it very well in my opinion.
This is amazing, not to say mind wrecking.

Hi Gertje,

Crumbs, even got some gardening done today :smile: . My overall basket trades at over 3000 pips trading positive swap pairs only. Touch wood :good: :yahoo:

Cheers

One of my demos just touched the 11,000 pips mark after 7 days. That is a bit spooky.

This neatly encapsulates why I mostly ignore the news these days in regard to trading.

UK politics are a basket case.

Our "leaders" are certifiable nutters.

Yet the pound is strengthening.

I just look at CSS and Peaky these days. They tell me more in 10 seconds than the pundits could do in a lifetime.
