Hi Joel, Thank you for discussion. I did an EA which did something similar and got very interesting results. Curve was amazing. Problem was that inclination was negative, but very smooth. On the other hand I use EA which have random entries but ...

I like this, let's call it statistical, exercise. It's true it could happen that 600 winners would make an amazing success. I do not think it is thought correctly. I'd agree in case that traders make only one trade a year which is a huge winner or ...

Thank you for your contribution mran. I appreciate it. There is no correct approach, perfect system or truth in the market Last week I read couple of threads and I must say that some traders have really brilliant ideas which might be missing part of ...

Lose small, win BIG

What is this exercise good for? Black swan is very popular concept nowadays because of Taleb's book. It says about huge impact of very improbable events. Those events usually kills most traders or institutions and as they are immposible to predict ...

Ranges are perfect opportunity to increase your position and keep your risk at the same level. Everytime you are on the top of range you can sell more and move your SL to BE. The same applies to the bottom. Once it will be broke-out up or down you ...

GBPUSD short on pre-defined level image SL 69points Notes: Spread might be higher at this time. It was definitely "conflict area", there are many small moves... Got wiped out and price was quite far away from my SL. With higher capital I'll ...

SS S/R - super stupid S/R trading experiment

I'm trying to enter on 5min. Is it possible to have smaller SL than 5 pips in mt4? I can put min 5 pips and it is too much with my entry method on 5min... help welcomed

Ah, I see your point now.... I totally agree with you. I don't think it is so important to have so tight SL as Fez has. With tight SL it's easier to get high RR but your win rate (let's call it BE rate) is much higher. If you have wider SL and you ...

Yeah, it is absolutely out of your control (as every method is). What I wanted to mention is that it's almost immpossible to catch it mathematically. Just for record, I really like maths and statistics but I'd be too afraid to make any conclusion or ...

Many thanks for your contribution Fez. I think you told us enough and the rest is on traders. Going to train your approach. Good job mate. Thanks a lot again. Wish you the best of luck!

Money makes money

First week (actually two days) of my EA is over. It is too early to be happy or frustrated but time to bring some results and my comments. As this is first week I was really afraid. It made +0.5% what is 5 euro. As I said it is too early to make ...

About mean reversion, why we want to check our positions every day and are afraid of loss. We are often nervous because our positions are in open loss. We are even more afraid when we lose money. Did you know it is not beneficial for you to check ...
