birdt, my intention was not to say that automatic trading is superior in any way (more profitable or easier to master) than discretionary trading. I think that we simply cannot be sure neither of this or the contrary. I just wanted to point out that ...

I strongly agree with David and Tdion, as I've stated more and more times. Maybe it's time to suggest one more time the reading of this post.

If, when stopped out, you immediately reenter the trade in the same direction, then your stop loss is totally useless. Don't you think? Yes, you are right here. If I was you the first thing I would do with a system like yours is to add to it a ...

David, your posts are usually very valuable. I know how much time it takes to make the kind of accurate posts that you usually write and this is why I usually read them very carefully. The sad part of all this is that in life, provided that you work ...

I think it's the contrary: new traders should not consider live trading until one has done 30 consecutive losing trades. Well, maybe 30 consecutive losses is too much, but what I mean is learning to do well when you are winning is easy, it's what ...

I think I understand what you are asking here. First it is a good thing to set the goals of a system before starting to research it. In fact most people that look forever for the holy grail often never find it not because the holy grail does not ...
