Not necessarily... Contrary to Forex, I know some real consistent profitable Stock Options traders, using mainly either Interactive Brokers or TD Ameritrade. But with accounts bigger than $100K USD, it's not sustainable for the long run to pursue ...

has anyone EVER seen a successful trader/trading system?

"3-9% days almost everyday"... in the first post.

Forex - A negative sum game for losers

Well, so only talking about retail traders... Are you within that "TOP" inside the 1%? Or do you currently know anyone active in today's market conditions?

has anyone EVER seen a successful trader/trading system?

Do you actually have any consistent profitable edge in FX, allowing you to gain more than 50% ROI per year, with less than 10% DD?

You clearly don't understand a word of what I said. And I'm ok with it, thanks! Regards, Viktory

Well, that seems more like 1 trade of 0.01 lots per pair; from a very small sample to draw any conclusions out of it. So nothing really relevant there.

@robots4me -- Again, I don't agree with you with this... If the "min distance between trades" setting uses —for example— a "%ADR", then there's no "best value" outside the personal choice of each user in order to better control risk by overexposure, ...

Yes! You're totally right, I was about to say that too ... Although its default value is already very small (14). And my point is that it is already too much, because with the Candles closing outside the TMA-ADR bands as the first condition ...

@robots4me & @bishopdotun -- Please take a look: Consecutive Candles version 1_01 - Logic: lower/higher low/high than previous candle low/high -AND- lower/higher close than previous candle close image Consecutive Candles versions 1_02, 1_03 and ...

@robots4me -- It's ok! Thank you very much for considering me. I swear my "interests" are genuine, with goodwill and the best of my intentions. And I really never talk "in vain"; for example: before bringing this up here, I was extensively reading ...

... and I don't know if I need to say it again to clarify it, but anyhow: of course I'M SUPER GRATEFUL with you two for openly bringing it to us for free

@bishopdotun -- It's not that I want to "contradict you", but the Vortex Indicator was added by another member AFTER the original idea was exposed, to act as an extra filter for lower time-frames like M15, and WITHOUT considering the use of an ...

@robots4me -- Well sir, I'm sorry for my "incorrect" use of words, as English is not my native language. I believe that what I say is based on pure logic than everyone here can see; but anyway, that's all I have to say... You don't have to compare ...

@robots4me -- Yes, you're right mate. The most important thing that I wanted to point out was the little —but significant enough— difference between the logic of the CC version 1_01 vs 1_02/1_03/1_04... And the thing about the "transition candles" ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@bishopdotun -- Yes, please read again my post #6,623 and think about the whole picture... Then, what about using Heikin-Ashi in the first place? The fact is that CC (which is excellent by itself) with the Vortex Filter generates very few signals ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@robots4me -- Haha, thanks buddy! You know I'm always glad to help And there's another thing: The Consecutive Candles versions 1_02, 1_03 and 1_04 all use the same logic (lower/higher low/high than previous candle low/high -AND- ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@robots4me -- If you're using the "consecutive candles 1_04" indicator, the reason for so few signals is the included "Vortex Filter" based on another indicator of the same name; because without it I've seen that even in D1 there are plenty of them. ...
