It's based on backtesting and so far working in forward testing. Unfortunately I don't have years of historical data to backtest on however I probably average one trade a day for each pair, about an hour of my time on any given day (not ...

The 1% is a fairly arbitrary figure I used to explain the comparison between net gain at the end of the month compared to drawdowns experienced during the month. The actual gain may be greater than that, but the drawdown (worst case scenario) may ...

Ok, well that works for me. I'm opening little positions across 15 pairs. However I don't really know what will happen in "the big way". I let the market decide that and my basket will follow it. Positions are (in essence) reversed if price ...

Yeah, I accept that. That's pretty much why I wanted opinions. I should say it is not every day that I have massive drawdowns. I may gain 1% a day 5 days in a row. The frustrating thing is that could evaporate the following week. But if over time I ...

In a sense, yes. But to put it another way, after 6 months I would be up about 6%. The gains seem to be consistent, just that I have to be using the system every day and withstanding the swings in order to catch the 1% or so that accrues each month. ...

Good question. I've been testing a strategy which has been profitable for the last six months. Seems promising, however I'm wary of declaring the strategy a success because the next 8 months could all be losers. How different is a profitable month ...

I'm just amazed to find that the number 108 has its own Wikipedia entry. But it isn't the only one. I'm quite fond of 109 now. Quote: "109 is a centered triangular number. 109 is the smallest factor of one more than the product of the first ...

Hi, yes I've come to that conclusion that any system using indicators, if it ever works in the first place, will have a limited lifespan. I think mine exploits mass behavior in the market, basically buying into strength early in the trading day for ...
