And for a while, that was where i try to find consistent profit.
My way of thinking was, explosive/impulsive move is where we can get asymmetry R:R. I can set SL and limit my loss if market impulsively move against me, on other hand i can get more than my SL when it impulsively move the way that i want.
DislikedIt is insane at what length I went to avoid the obvious stuff. I have traded NQ cfd for over 2 years and focussed on building crappy strategy with EMA's, MACD, stoch and other indicators that I can't even remember. I learnt mql4 along the way lol (it's just a dumbed down version of C++). I don't even know what I really learnt there when I think back and almost cringe about it. I would focus on hard R:R rules, ignoring everything that the market was screaming at me. At some point I was cursing at the monitor daily (yes I am ashamed to admit) and...Ignored
JensG, venividivici, and Michael are people who i admire and i always try to learn as much as possible from them. Especially Jens who has left FF many years ago, but finally i can read more from him in other website.
I hope this thread will give us many good guidance for reaching our goal.
Thank you
