Is there a way in your journal tool to put a column next to MAE/MFE and include the pnl in raw tick distance. That should bring further clarify imo.

I am also thinking about your edge you wrote in the earlier post along with all-in type of position sizing. Since you have an analytical mind, have you run any what-if scenarios on your trade log to improve your winrate or however you define your edge? I remain in-conclusive on what david/hanover wrote whether position sizing can result in a positive expectancy. If you are game for it, try to replace all position size with just one contract and see what the net outcome is. It might reveal something that may not be easily visible.

and finally, are you of the opinion that "Analyzing trading stats 10 ways to sunday could work against you and decay account performance"? I am in-conclusive on this aspect as well.

Somehow I overestimated your brightness but suffice to say you have confirmed it with your post because I knew by ignoring default dates on the indicator there would be idiots noticing it and posting but smart ones would of obviously checked posted trades that backed it up.

There is no "dispute" My thread is as live as can you get.I have nothing to prove for public forum idiots

Some things are reserved for private and that's intentional.

Forum drama.... yuk.

As Rodney King once said... "Can't we all just get along?"

FF loves drama... it generates page views which is how they make money off of ads.

Speaking of ads, don't the guy in the Oanda ads look like one of the Russian dudes from John Wick?

just mae/mfe columns. But since my target is always a TP (with no trailing), the result is alway MFE value. But my MAE can be larger than my actual exits since i don't let my trades go to stop all the time (my worse case stops are beyond MAE obviously). There are times where i exit out early because the conditions have changed.

the topic with size is that unless you trade with different types of setups, then varying size wouldn't give any edge.But if you trade like i do where i trade convergent and divergent setups together (two fundamentally different mechanics), varying the size do provide and edge in overall results in my opinion. Still need data to back this up though, hence why i have this journal/journalytix.

I don't know what you mean by last part. I analyze my trades every week. Group all the setups and results together and try to think what went wrong and what went right. Ultimately, my goal is to be at a point where both types of setup work in sync of one another. This means that my rules for changing conditions (between trend and fade) has to be robust.

personally i don't doubt davit's results. I think the edge he has is the pairs he chooses plus whatever fundamental analysis he does.You can't trade convergence setups with pairs that tend to make trends. He mentions this is in his post about pairs he traded. Can those pairs run, sure, anything can happen. He was upfront about being close to margin called before.

although i dont' think there are anything special about fib pivots. You can really use any levels (high/lows or volume profile peaks/throughs for example). The idea is that you establish a value level (in this case WP) then bound the price action for the week. That's what i try to do with vwap and standard deviations on the intraday level. That's what George_AUS does with tma and trading at the extremes. It's the same concept.

Trading ES with only 5 contracts, 20t daily target, you can exceed those results easily.

On the other hand, you can trade that in a day an not even be a blip on the radar (50 contracts ES).

H,

Personally i don't trade with a daily target. However, it is solid advice for any new or struggling trader, especially those with discipline problems. The magic in this business comes from CONSISTENCY, not getting more ticks per day/trade (aka greed). Traders should focus on CONSISTENCY first. One contract, one daily target, maximum discipline. Once you have scaled to few more contracts, then you have all the time (and plenty of money) to experiment how to squeeze more from the markets. However, without consistency first, it's all a giant WASTE of energy.

I agree without consistency you become a hamster on the wheel. I personally have always been a scalper(move the chains metaphor) so i grab what I can in 1 hour and shut it down
