Hi, Thank you! I didn't deny that this isn't a good strategy that might help me achieve my goals. I even asked Medici some questions about it, and the answer was something like, "I don't have much time to help in detail; I get a lot of messages, ...

Trading for a living

I asked ChatGPT. That’s a very good and realistic question — and the short answer is: Yes, it’s possible in theory, but very difficult in practice and requires exceptional consistency, risk management, and capital. Let’s break it down ...

Trading for a living

Agree! That's what I've been preaching from the beginning. I need an approach that generates a consistent cash flow in relatively short-term intervals and that constantly, enough to cover my bills (monthly or, at most, quarterly). Long-term ...

Trading for a living

I see. Yes, that probably makes it difficult. Your system seems to work for you, which is great. I think it's less suitable for me, as I can't and don't want to trade multiple markets if I then have to further validate the signals at variable times ...

Trading for a living

Thank you for taking the time to explain the strategy. It looks interesting and relatively easy to understand, and possibly even something that could be automated. I'll take a closer look at it this weekend. Yes, I'm honest with myself; I have ...

Trading for a living

You're contradicting yourself. First, you said my views on trading were quite realistic, now they're delusional. You're tired? Ask me, how tired I am of debating with anonymous wannabe traders who can't provide effective help in achieving a clearly ...

Trading for a living

Fine, but then don't criticize me. I like people who put their money where their mouth is. If you have nothing to show or effective solutions to the challenges of trading to realize making a living from it, you're in the wrong place.

Have you tried quantifying the „qualify“ and „take the trade“ step into repeatable executional code and backtested the whole strategy over a longer period of time for some market? What are the results?

Trading for a living

Thanks mate. I’ll have a look at this. Do you only trade Gold and long-only?

Trading for a living

@FX-Blitz. But feel free to post an even better strategy with lower drawdown, lower losing streaks, higher profits and in shorter time. Maybe this would help me/others.

Trading for a living

It looks like you're referring to the losing streak from October 6th and 7th. Yes, 8 losing trades in a row. When the market is stuck in a long sideways phase, that's probably normal for a breakout strategy. So what exactly is the problem with that? ...

Trading for a living

This is not my own code, but the idea was to put the strategy into my own code if the underlying approach promises positive results, which has been the case so far.

Trading for a living

I'm planning to do another FTMO challenge and am currently testing copying my ORB account to an FTMO MT5 Swing account. These are the results since October 30th. The copying seems to be working well so far. It would give me some hope of completing ...

Trading for a living

Will look at this tomorrow. This account is 100% automated trading. I am not even watching it but noticed that XAU/USD is performing way better than the two other stock indices. I guess that’s not the norm. My backtest results for Gold are horrible ...

Trading for a living

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful or rude. I just don't see how this is supposed to help me in my situation, even if it's well-intentioned. The intuition behind starting this thread was to find concrete help on how I can generate a ...

Trading for a living

Yes, I've been programming since I was 12 (C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, HTML5 and several more). I completed an apprenticeship as an IT specialist for application development in my early 20s after finishing school. Then I worked for two ...

Trading for a living

That sounds like something out of a bad self-help book or some Buddha platitude. I understand what you mean, but that doesn't change my reality or make it any better. Surrender is not an option and I've already tried that. Should I tell my landlord ...

Trading for a living

Yes, better. I just wonder how I'm supposed to find "balance" in my life when I wake up in the morning with financial worries and go to sleep with them again at night. Those are all great sayings when you're relatively carefree. My younger sister is ...

Trading for a living

Thank you so much! Direct question, direct answer. I think we differ significantly in our philosophies regarding trading, as well as in our approach. As I said, I want to keep my trading as simple as possible and repeatable with clear rules ...

Trading for a living

Who enjoys a process for 15+ years but couldn’t even cover minimum wage from it? Well, I used to like the „process“ but not so much anymore, correct. I guess a Messi would have lost his love in kicking the ball after not even being able to bring ...
