Spreads on exotics are widening at the start of the day so much, they are not viable to trade for EDTT 30m TF....

Yep.....good point. We should keep a list of those instruments with very wide spreads and exclude them on the stripped.csv file so we avoid trading them. Simply delete the instrument rows you don't want in your watchlist and then run the momo indicator again. (version 5) :-)

But.... their spread looks all right during the day. Only when new day starts or on Monday, the spread is wide.... so you can enter the exotic market during the day, but at midnight they will widen the spread so much, that all SLs will be hit. So there would need to be some kind of indication how wide is the spread at new day.

Please note how price chart does not indicate spread was there in the midnight.

Perhaps we can get on the Dashboard the max spread and min spread for the week which we could use as a guide in avoiding those exotics where spread widens during illiquid times. Let's add it to the wishlist. :-)

It's that time of year when investment professionals forecast the year ahead. But how useful are these? As one commentator put it; "strategists are forecasting a gain of around 7% for the S&P 500 in 2018. That's about how much they thought the S&P would rally in 2017. And 2016. And pretty much every other year."
As the saying goes “forecasting is difficult, especially about the future”.

If I only knew this in the beginning:

Human Nature Does Not Operate to Maximize Gain, But the Chance of Gain

  1. One common adage on this subject that is completely wrongheaded is: you can’t go broke taking profits. That’s precisely how many traders do go broke. While amateurs go broke by taking large losses, professionals go broke by taking small profits.
  2. The problem in a nutshell is that human nature does not operate to maximize gain but rather to maximize the chance of gain.
  3. The desire to maximize the number of winning trades (or minimize the number of losing trades) works against the trader. The success rate of trades is the least important performance statistic and may even be inversely related to performance.
  4. Two of the cardinal sins of trading – giving losses too much rope and taking profits prematurely – are both attempts to make current positions more likely to succeed, to the severe detriment of long-term performance.

I believe you did it for science to have as much events to test as possible. Sorry for my remark!
