Amibroker For Backtesting

Need help with how to manage risk

There is a lot that is wrong with this type of strategy. All i can say is open a chart up and start testing. By the way if you expect to ever make it in trading you might want to stop asking "What if" type questions and do some research instead. And ...
An idea to always win?
