How does wasting days backtesting the obvious can be any useful? Maths say he is wrong. Therefore he is wrong. Full stop. Shall he backtest until a cherry picked period of time will fit his ego? He already did that (post#2). It's not a matter of ...

Simple EMA mechanical system!

What is the point backtesting a strategy which is mathematically wrong? 1+1=2. Believe it or not. Like it or not. Accept it or not. 1+1=2, for you, for me, for everybody. It has always been, it will always be.

I'm sure nobody thought about this before! 180 pips at risk for up to... 20 pips profit. I hope you will quickly add a "smart martingale" on top of this HG.

Basic Hedge System

Better in English for everybody to understand. Something very interresting you can do is the following: Open your G/U M15 chart and draw a big circle around the entries you find. Use a color code. 4 colors: winning short, winning long, losing ...

Don't bother for now with the MM. That's the icing on the cake. You have no cake yet. Of course a stupid MM will burn your account in no time, but for now use fixed lot size. 1 micro lot. You don't care making money for now. What you need is finding ...

Ca doit être ça. Two half a lot with 22.9 pips SL and 45.8 pips TP.... I got lost!

Oops example values are so wierd that I didn't even check it was 1:1

Simple EMA mechanical system!

You are scaling out half of the position when it is in the red. I show in Expectancy Management this is worse -in the long term- than letting the original trade run. The original trade is a breakeven-er therefore, with no need for BT, this variant ...

"why don't you forget about the win rate? just see the pips gained." Because pips gains are not a valid metrics. The only two things you have to focus on are the R:R (R times your SL) and the winrate (p, probability of winning). Altogether. One ...

My points were made to made you think. 1. 2. "I don't read my backtest file, do you? There are times that I lose 5 trades in a row because the ranging market. But at last, I'm still being profitable" Sorry I didn't understand that you actually meant ...

People still can't fly. Nope. Easy to prove. No. Proved here in one of my posts.

Could you share with me the worst trading strategy you know?

CindyXXXX offered you his ultimate holy grail. Flip a coin and LONG when HEAD / SHORT when TAIL. Or the opposite I need reading his post once more SL=10, TP=10. Even without spread.

Could you share with me the worst trading strategy you know?

It must be very challenging to prove a system has really no edge. Certainly as hard as proving a system works. For "flip a coin 1:1" it's obvious but in the general case... A lot of systems in FF clearly have a negative expectancy but the reverse ...

He just told you. Stop and reverse, always in the market.

Could you share with me the worst trading strategy you know?

How do you know it is profitable? Great a backtest in a period of well behaving trends for G/U! What about crapy-choppy ranges? The profit is totally irrelevant. Only the risk matters. Two paragraphs above it was already profitable..... Why 34 and ...

Could you share with me the worst trading strategy you know?

Oh la la no no no!!!! Wait up! There is a major flaw here! The probability I'm taking about is the probability of the event "the price reaches the TP of the first entry (point B) before the SL of the first entry (point 2)". If it is true that the ...

Does the martingale system really work?

Thanks a lot. The experiment is only interesting if the exit criteria of both the positions is the same. Otherwise, if the second entry has its own exit criteria, the results will degrade. That's because the expectancies sum up. Regarding your ...

Does the martingale system really work?

Dear Hanover, In your previous post you say that your EA sometimes opens multiple entries. As you may know I try to show (here) that any fiddling with the open position doesn't improve the expectancy of any winning system. So far I could show that ...
