Hey guys i have found a setup in the thread " An edge for an Edge" that i really like.

it is a bollinger band 350/1 only on daily charts. We enter when the price breaks or close out of the bollinger. Above we buy below we sell.

I trade every asset i can get with it for now. stoploss at the middle bollinger.

I use partial closes at 1:2 1:4 and the last part i let run.

its a trend follow strategy so with a not so big win rate.

What do you guys think about it?

Thanks Lordfx. That's what I thought it had to be, I just couldn't believe it.

Anyway, great to see a long-term approach to trading rather than the 1 minute "strategies" we're usually supposed to be impressed by.

He has already mentioned that the win rate is not high.what i would suggest is you look into variations to see if you can improve the hit rate. Once you have done that, add martingale money management if your consecutive loss expectancy is low and you will have your person holy grail.

Habibiforex this thinkIng is imho the big mistake people make in trading.
I make my risk small and protect my money. I would never use martingale and to optimize a trend trading strategy to get a higher winrate will take you out of really good runner. I can be picky but not use a indicator as filter for sure

And its not a strategy for 100% a month nonsense more realistic returns

For me I cant predict the market and it is about riding the trend.

Only the exits are hard for me I have to work about them.
