Disliked{quote} hello Lazy! when i say ”alot of strategies” - its spread over ~10years If my bankroll is big enough? I dont know i need to backtest. I just wonder if you guys working with the same ”framework”, or are you trading totally different ? the strategy im testing atm (demo), is trading way too frequently i think, drawdown is too big ($1000 account).Ignored
I would say many on the thread share a similar mindset but the trading styles probably differ quite a bit. I currently only trade positive swap pairs, as I like to get paid on my overnight positions, and for weeks now I've been averaging in to (shorting) EURUSD & USDMXN. At the moment these two are negatively correlated pretty well so I'll maintain a pretty flat hedge and just favour the pair that's shorting the best. When one pair pulls away I'll either TP or add to the hedge then wait, some trades I'll close in minutes, others may take days. With positive swap I get paid more as the position grows, I might close at a small loss if I don't like the look of it (very rare), or wait until the swap out-performs the loss.
Other pairs pay positive swap but I prefer red to green at the mo, hope it helps.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.
