Hi Guys, I need your advise on the matter below.. Kindly please help.. . If a statistics of a Day-trade Trading System indicates that its 'Good Opportunities' in XAUUSD pair only show up in 70 days out of 258 trading days of a typical year (that's only ~27% per year), would you consider the System to be worthed to use? What's the minimal standard on this, if there's any? . FYI, its RRR is 2 Rewards for every 1 Risk. . Hope I could gain insightful inputs from you all. Thanks!

{quote} How much stop losss..
The SL is ATR based, so nominally it'll vary for every trade. But, the Risk Reward Ratio is 1:2 as I mentioned above
.
Let's just assume for now the 'Good Opportunities' trades are all resulted in Profits as targeted. What's your take on the statistics then, mohsinali?

Pardon the satire, SunTrader..

I would have responded more appropriately if you followed up the 'not enuf info' comment with 'what more info you need from me' to answer them.. That would show me that you:
- care to help.
- know your game on the matter.
.
Responding Questions by just saying 'not enuf info' is in a way a smartie one too.. Hence, I responded accordingly..
.
Have a nice day..

If you care enough about responses, comments, replies whatever you would put it in there from the start. Period.

Ask half a question, get half an answer.

Otherwise someone else has to make assumptions. And you know what happens quite often when you assume. You make an ass out of u and me. Better to be clear from the start. No?

Still haven't provided enough. But that's ok. You don't appear to really want a clear answer.

So have a good day/rest of your weekend as well.

It was my mistake to reply to your 'not enough info' comment, SunTrader; i should just ignore it. As I observe here, you've been an ass on your replies with other people here too.

Cheers.

I'm still waiting for genuine helper to my query below. Kindly please assist. As I see it (with my limited knowledge), it's all the information you need to judge the viability of the trading system. However, if you think you need more information on the matter, please do tell me so I could provide them for you here.

Without seeing more of the "statistics", then I'd say not good enough just with the known information & parameters you've set with R:R.

Just hypothetical since we don't have enough data: (taking 1 trade per day)(not moving SL)(use same SL & TP every day of 50/100)
70 win days = 100 x 70 = 7000
188 losing days = 50 x 188 = (9400)
Sum = (2400)

this will go up. i still believe this has potential to go up to 1260 and then 1282 level. before retracing back. please share your views if you agree or dont

i don't think so, because USA will eventually hike, one, maybe two times this year.

therefore gold will loose its appeal, and will go down, with some upward spikes when equities will fall by consequence of the rate hikes

well i am saying that price will be achieved within next 2-3 weeks and i dont think US is going to hike before then. if it had to retrace it would have retraced by now but it is still holding up.

Hi SRT,
Firstly, I like to say many thanks for your input above. Really appreciate it..!
-----
Secondly, on the matter of 'Good Opportunities' Days (GODs). What I meant by that was the Trading System is able to give the recommendation 'TO TRADE' or 'NOT TO TRADE' before a trading day starts. Therefore, we could AVOID the 'Bad Opportunities' Days (BODs) all together.. At least, not by using the system.. We could still exploit BODs using different systems, but that's a different ball game of course ..
.
Hence, when I presented the 70/258 Days statistics, what I meant to ask is whether an average of 70 good trading opportunities is plenty enough or not to have in a year (~27% per year)?
-----
Hope my elaboration could clarify the issue so that you would be able to give more relevant insights on the matter..
.
I'll be waiting for your reply..
.
Cheers
