Hi GE, Checking back in. I am going to take trades on daily and weekly. Won't make any decisions on lower time frames than that. Will post trades and the rationale hopefully get some insights into my thought process and areas I need to address.

Nice to hear. Would like to see the performance of the live account in explorer for at least a two months before making a judgement.

Graeme - What a person!! — I was reading Graeme's posts for the nth time and it struck me that this person has done so much for wannabe traders without expecting anything in return. Also, he is so earnest in wanting all to succeed that it ...

Is this post to brag or to help readers? Good Luck to you for your breakthrough.

So you are saying that entry can have an edge? In other words, it is possible that a system that employs such an entry and has other parameters random (say 1:1 RR ratio) is profitable? If so, can you outline your rationale please? If this does not ...

I guess we should wait for other responses but I think, universally speaking, an entry can never have an edge. I will be happy if I am proven wrong. The reason I am saying so is this. A universal edge in the market is follow trends, minimize ...

You are equating random entry with a 50% win and a 50% loss chance. That is not so. Look at my argument a few posts back about there being two profitable systems, one signalling long and another signalling short at the same time. If all aspects of ...

I couldn't have summarized it better.

A person who uses random entry because he is not able to trade using a logical systematic approach will lose. Also, no profitable trader would use random entries in practice. But the fact that random entries can be made profitable does help discover ...

Okay. So we both agree that there can be two profitable systems, one of which can trigger long and another can trigger short. Now, what I do is I toss a coin. If it is heads, I go long and follow the rules of the profitable system triggering long, ...

I think the question here is that is a trader employing random entries is doomed to failure or can he turn a profit. I am trying to argue that such a trader can be profitable. Will someone do it? Probably not as one would want to maximize profit.
- Eklavya replied Dec 18, 2011
So what you are saying is at any point in time, systems having an edge will always be either all long or all short? In other words it is not possible for one profitable system to trigger long and another profitable system to trigger short at the ...

Random entries by itself will not make you lose. Its what you do afterwards that will decide your fate. Random entry with good money management and sound trade management principles can have an edge. Let me give an empirical argument. At every time ...

That may very well have been the case and your broker may have decided to honor the stop loss to keep the relationship going/keep you happy. But think about this. When such a market event happens when the price jumps abruptly, such as the chf ...
