Is this a valid trend, a valid Setup?
Backtested a random month (2018 Jan). Here my results.
Stayed within London session only. Located impulses with the trend and waited for pullback to origin of impulse, picked only smaller candles that could potentially allow for a 3R profit. Considering moving to BE at 1.5R (will test).

Will slowly backtest 2018 onwards, month by month.

Looking forward to your comments on each trade. thanks!

this is how I see it (not saying I'm right)... cleaner areas tend to be higher probability. also check time of day.

Hey Calli, great trades overall! Just add a little patience in it...Keep it up!

By the way: I am wondering about your fibo levels. Your TP level is looking like 1:4. Are you sure you using the right settings for 1:3 RR?

EUR/NZD had very nice moves in the last days. This one was a loss, i missed a better entry on the second arrow. Definitely on my WL for tomorrow. {image}
EUR/NZD guys, you worry too much about the losses. If the setup is right and the trend is strong, i am always confident that the next trade is going to be a winner. Get your trading mentality on point.

Hi Tradista. Can you tell us what software you used for backtesting? I would like to use something similar that can simulate a starting balance and give the KPIs of the trade. The one you have seems to be very good.
Cheers.

Brent.

{quote} Hi Iddd, i trade the Frakfurt and London session. 1 trade per day for every pair. Mostly the major pairs. Sometimes i see a good trend and setup on a daily TF, so i place trades on daily also. Thanks for your questions
Hi, When you said 1 trade per day for every pair:

If you win the trade do not enter until tomorrow if a another one pattern appear?

If you lose the trade, you can enter again if pattern appears again?

Just one trade do not matter result?

Regards.

It is not mentality, it is the result.

You can wish and be as confident as you want in your mental state, but the bottom line is: Win Money or Lose Money.

It is not as easy as: find a Trend and be confident that it will workout on pullback.

In fact it is a losing propositions for many mostly because R:R is not that great if you have no experience with proper MM and psychology to stay in the trade.

Minotawr, you are trying to encourage, but bottom line is what speaks the loudest.

It's an add-on that runs on MT4, really great piece of software for serious backtesting. there's a thread here about it:

that`s why we have demo accounts to learn this system, grow more confident and once we do well with our trades, only then can we start to trade for real with a small lot size.........patience is not exactly there in most of us.....nobody gets to be a surgeon overnight........practice, practice, practice.....
even with all Minotawr`s experience, he still loses 6 out of 10 trades.......
this thread just started over 2 months ago, so how can you expect for people to be proficient already......study, study, study.......hard work....
2 trades on had, the first is closed in plus, the 2 I now drag the sl into plus, ej
