Not everyone is a manual mid-term trader, cant accept that? I make my money scalping the market like crazy, all automated. And as long as I make money, I honestly dont care about 0.1 pips slippage on a 0.3 pips trailing stop nor what anyone thinks I ...

Yes, but it doesnīt matter if you have a 1 or 5 pips SL, slippage is always there. What we wanted to point out is that any serious ECN broker nowadays will let you do a trailing stop as close to the price as you want. This doesnīt say anything about ...

Any analysis why you say this? Because if it consolidated, it could as well be a time for a upwards correction by your theory.

I dont really understand why everyone of you uses a TP. Why not just set a trailing stop to your TP price and trail by 1 pip? Even then you could be able to catch 10 pips or more in a lucky case of a spike for example. If not, you lose 1 pip max. ...

You wonīt get far with a strategy generated on one month of data. This WILL fail going forward. Youīll need to use at least a few years, better 14 years+.

Believe me, the banks that do stop squeezing right now donīt care if you or anyone else thinks the market is "wrong". The market is NEVER rational, thatīs just a wrong hypothesis. The market ALWAYS builds bubbles that have nothing to do with the ...

Just can say this, and they might be wrong, but they usually are not: all my 5 automated (genetic build) strategies are currently short EURUSD. Itīs very uncommon that this is the case that all of them go short. So this is my perspective from a ...
