Proximus replied Jul 24, 2014Ok looks like we have a problem with the 2:1 RR rule, i think it doesnt hold on timeframe so little like intraday.And since i trade intraweek and intraday, we must have a more flexible approach. We will use big SL with big or medium TP, however the ...

Proximus replied Jul 24, 2014Even so if you find a temporary pattern which shows a real edge with positive expectancy trading it, you never know when those rules change. Suppose the "morning star" pattern worked perfectly 50 years ago on the S&P 500, it predicted every single ...
