Always use a “stop-order” to initiate a position even though the intended position was on a “buy low, sell high” scheme ...

Example: Let’s say that I intend to sell JPY @ High-of-01Aug (112.13) with SL @ High-of-19Jul (113.20). At current running price of 111.62, I should be using a limit-order to initiate that position. Instead, to be on a “safer” side, I will wait for the price to reach 112.13 first, then put in a trailing stop-order @ previous-daily-low to initiate the intended Sell-JPY position. If the predetermined-SL is reached first before the position is initiated, I will abandon this sell attempt ...

After a long downtrend, which was started at around the beginning of this year, I perceived that the AUD is about to make a correction ... My perceived setup is a “Buy-Limit AUD @ 0.7201 —> 0.7022 / 0.7380” ...

Taking on my own advice of using stop-order to initiate a position after the intended entry price is reached, I put in a “Buy-Stop AUD @ Yesterday’s High” together with initial SL and TP ... As long as the previous day’s high is above the initial reference price (0.7201), I will trail the entry on the daily basis. If previous day’s high goes below the reference price or initial SL is reached first, I will abandon this trade ...

Backtesting is over rated.
Some times things correlate for a while.. other times there is no correlation.
Being a good traders you know conditions are right for your trade.. also you know when things seem off... and you skip that trade.
There is no realistic way to backtest some trades.. Its more of looking around at the current conditions and making a judgement call.
The only system that will work is one designed by and for yourself.
