Williams%R, SAR X-over 15 minute candles

Has anybody done a backtest on this strategy and is willing to share the data, including exact entry criteria, time frame, SL placement, and R:R?
This system is highly discretionary, so any backtesting I would think needs to be done manually a very large task, you seem to be looking for a black box system with strict rules. Which you could develop I guess, but using this just going by indicators is a loser.
Day trading requires good understanding of PA, and being ruthless with money management/risk management. These are infinitely more important than indicators. Also why I don't think you can make a successful EA.
After partying way too much Saturday night and spending yesterday in Zombie Land went to bed at 9pm. So I got up early today, traded inexes only 2 wins and and 1 loss(a trade I entered against my better judgement). There was definitely some currency trades to be had, just decided to take an easy day. Got whipsawed on NQ too many big candles for my taste but I traded it and lost.

Really another wishy washy day took 3 late small pulbacks on currency futures 6b, 6c, and 6e. Indexes again were kind of a mess large candles back and forth short moves so stayed away.

If anybody is interested I tested this system 100 times in a row, taking every trade when the indicators gave me an entry signal.

Interesting video, actually kind of surprised it was profitable taking every signal. Win % about what I'd expect.
I've always said it's a system where you shouldn't take every signal.
Differences from how I trade, use only during opens of major sesssion London and NY, using 5 min bars instead of 15min(though I don't think thats a major difference), Taking every signal, use of 200ema, no use of the 20 ema, wpr set at 14. Also just trading eur/usd which I don't trade very often.
I'd be curious to know how many trades were made during off hours, the wins /losses there. Kind of surprised that it took 4 months for 100 trades on E/U but maybe thats why I haven't been trading it much.
Anyway interesting thanks Tradersland.

I am so happy you enjoyed it! I didn't take any setups while a trade was ongoing. Session times were not account for, I just went through the first 100 setups. I am happy to test using specific sessions, all I ask is that you request it in the comments of the channel for the YouTube algo. Thanks again for your feedback. Regards.
Also 1 other difference with how I trade is the S/L as you know I don't leave S/L where I originally place it. I move to B/E asap usually once 1/2 way or so to target, also I will tend to end trade befor my S/L is hit if I don't like PA ie. been moving sideways.

I was eyeballing it and didn't think a multi take profit level system would be effective, but really have no data to back that up. I focus my channel for new traders so I only stick to ridged rules. That being said I could do another test within specific session times, utilizing two positions, taking half off at 1:1, then moving the rest to BE, and targeting 2:1 for the rest. Could be an interesting test. Again thanks for the feedback.
Ok here's today's trades went back to cleaner chart ending use of LBR indicator. Ultimately while it didn't help, didn't hurt either just like a cleaner chart. 5 trades 4 winners and 1 B/E. ES really a hot mess should've got out when I got jumpy about PA, YM and NQ had nice PA much cleaner. 6J also nice PA, 6S I passed on earlier entry which was a mistake but so it goes.

It seems you become a very stable trader.
This is a good example for me.
This is a good role model for me.

It s getting better but i m still in the breakeven area.
My biggest problems are still disziplin and overtrading.
last week i did start to do only 2 trades a day max .1 trade in london 1 in newyork session.
The technical part of my trading is not bad,i m able to get a win rate of about 50-60% if i do not something crazy with overtrading.
Yesterday i did lose 1 trade 10 pips.
Today i did win 1 trade with 20 pips and 1 trade i did lose 6 pips.
i did find out the most difficult to master the trading is the psychology.And it needs a long time solve the problems like greed ,fear.overtrading bad moneymanagment and other bad tradingbehaviors.
