Disliked{quote} Lol sometimes I question why I share so much... I always just think I wish someone shared it with me as none of this stuff is that complex, or maybe I just feel that way now that I really understand it. I also like to share because most people don't actually read any of it anyways or put it into practice. I agree and disagree with you regarding stats being manipulated. Certain stats can be manipulated, but the ones that can don't pay the bills and in most cases, manipulate them will ensure you can't pay the bills. The money you pull out...Ignored
I want to comment on spread and trading costs. Forget about RM, MM, SL, TP etc for a minute and only focus on entry, exit and recovery of "trading costs". If risk is trading cost, recovery of trading cost is reward, just a simply strategy of 1:1 to recover costs plus a tiny bit of profit is sufficient. I do this without any regard to spread via ecn commission broker by considering a trade to not be in profit without a trading cost multiple of more than 1. I find measuring performancec as a multiple of trading costs to be the most consistent way instead of pips or dollar amounts or even %. Of course all this requires a honest broker which is just not available to us retailers lol
Staying in my lane...
