Didn't realise we were having an argument. I can now see that your intention from the beginning was to try to prove that you are intelligent and everyone else is stupid; Funny how that often works out in reverse plus exposes your obvious insecurity. ...

"I don't know anyone that would attempt to apply statistics to their trades unless they had an extensive knowledge in math" It back to that statistic of expectancy, and it's simpler than most people think. Many people will jump into a trade and set ...

On top of the faulty application of the statistics is the equally possible faulty interpretation of the results. For example, a test was done and it proved that taller people are more intelligent than shorter people. The flaw was that they tested ...

Not quite — I'm not following your post loa1452, but it appears that you are talking about trading systems? I trade using the same systems as other people, yet I have been profitable nearly every month for 14 years. Here's my results for this ...

I'm not here for a contest between you and I, that's entirely your interpretation. Besides, once of my systems is on this forum, fully disclosed with accounts statements, backtests and programming so if you want to compare you can do that entirely ...

USDJPY 15min — Looks like a low risk entry here, but I'm looking for any pattern that allows me to enter short. If this does not occur, then I have a sell order in at 89.10 with a stop at 89.55. My breakeven stop will engage when price touches ...

Before I begin, DEMO test only, do not take my opinion as an invitation to trade real money. Am I to understand that you target 50pips profit per trade, on a pair that can fluctuate by several hundred pips per day, and you have almost unlimited risk ...

"forget statistics in forex" I see your point, however, when you say statistics, I presume you are referring to trading systems? These "statistics" are what most traders dwell on. They go from system to system, course to course, and never find a ...

If you had a system with a 1 pip stop which lost 95% of trades (which is quite likely), would you be able to reverse the system and expect to win 95% of trades? A losing system doesn't lose because it enters at the wrong time, it loses because it ...

Just an update on the Big Sandwich, it has currently averge me 15-30% per month on average since inception. There have been a number of people modifying the system, and some even added to the rules to create their own system. One notable person has ...

I have discontinued this journal as I have other more pressing time commitments. Please feel free to keep papertesting the system. In a year from now, I will backtest the system and compare it to my real results, but so far it is on track.
