Yes, that's true. You might be better off there if you have specific questions about quantitative trading. However, you'll probably find less help there showing you how to generate a repeatable minimum income from trading that you can live on and ...

Here's the result of my 10K challenge that I attempted in June. Back then, I had no fixed system or plan and relied solely on gut feeling. It actually went well; after 49 days, I was at +8.2% of the required +10% in Phase 1. Unfortunately, I then ...

Looks good. You could potentially risk a little more per trade without jeopardizing the maximum drawdown, in order to speed it up. I will buy a 100k Challenge in the next few days and try it out again.

My FTMO trial account. Looks good so far, I'll now try another challenge with the ORB system. This time probably for a 100k challenge. So far, I haven't found a solution for Future Props that would allow copying from MetaTrader 5 to NinjaTrader or ...

Understand. Yes, I looked at your example. It appears to me like you were waiting for a pullback to the FVG zone and then went long on the next break in the structure. I have taken a closer look at the philosophy of FVG Trading and, as already ...

Okay? When you tried to describe how you trade with Renko charts, or a few other approaches you briefly mentioned, it sounded to me like your signal recognition is more manual. Have a nice Sunday.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, learning to code has helped me too.

I’ve said several times that the system I’m running is profitable so far (you can review it from the Trade Explorer attached to this topic) but probably not sufficient to meet my objectives yet. I haven’t rejected the help i’ve received, just ...

Thank you!

I tried chart reading and manual trading even much longer.

Well, show me a strategy that makes this approach objectively replicable and thus plots trade entries and exits on a chart based on clear mathematical calculations, then I'd be happy to backtest it. Otherwise, no, as I've already said several times, ...

Yes, I understand that and agree. It's just that I'm anything but self-concerned. I also value truth, beauty, and love above personal financial goals, but when you're struggling with financial problems every day for almost two decades, along with ...

@OutThere How is your FTMO account going?

Same to you!

I've been thinking a lot about what you wrote regarding "surrendering." I must have misunderstood it and interpreted it as a kind of "giving up" and passive inaction, which I don't think is what you meant. Unfortunately, depression can rob you of ...

Yes, some really good points. I wanted to try coding what you're using this weekend. Regarding taxes and trading: Here in Germany, where I live, the situation is that you have to pay 25% capital gains tax plus solidarity surcharge (a total of ...

Well, the win rate and the risk-reward ratio generally have an inverse relationship. A strategy with a high win rate typically has a lower risk-reward ratio, while a strategy with a low win rate often needs a higher risk-reward ratio to be ...

I use various analysis tools to track my trading metrics and review them at least once at the end of the week. I believe my risk management is appropriate and very conservative. That doesn't seem to be the main issue right now; rather, it's whether ...

My idea that a higher risk limit is needed in comparison to the desired profit target stems from the fact that (as ChatGPT and some articles and statements I have heard here, among other places, also suggest) this is necessary in order to ...
