Tug of war in market flows

My data not is not anything shady or mysterious and I don't get my data from others.

A tip: In reality all traders could extract retail volume data from their retail broker, if they want so look into such data information. The process of this however, can be rather difficult. Even though this data might be insufficient, it should provide a semi realistic overview of overall volume.

I made a backtesting simulation on this month,

Approach: Trading opposite yesterdays volume each day at 00:00 midnight, repeat this every trading day adding new positions.
It gives a view into how those flows plays out this month, I will be uploading screenshot of this later

Attached show how's counter retail trading been trading since Aug 1.

Top left shows total volume, profit/loss, and %profit/loss
Top right shows volume separated into each currency and a bar graph of it, including current holdings. (For exsample this shows, that the pair currently this month with most retail activity, is the retail been selling USD/JPY)

Left shows profit/loss on each day. Showing that Aug 1 - Aug 8 the herd won and then afterward started losing bringing the current situation to the brokers' advantage.

Mid show price act since Aug 1. Even though there is an aspect of counter price trading in herds volume also. Even the price has been trending a lot, it still manages to be in current profit, but herd generally losest most in countertrend/side trend environments. I will keep this going running alongside with a demo I will be setting up this coming week.

Counter retail demo up and running:

Data start Aug 19 00:00, started trading 03:00 - manually updates multiple times a day.

The current day so far and current counter retail volume holdings:
We're up 700 pips on the demo (on average 25 pips each pair 700p/28 pair), meaning retails been losing today.

CURRENT FOCUS: Proving that trading against retail volume is profitable

The first day of live demo test went well, I will continue adding the opposite of new herd positions.

Current demo margin and visual on volume and price situation:

Demo setting new high - equity around 12K.

It's in this environment (current week price), that retail's currently is down 18%, making it a similar percentage profit to us.

Attached shows our current holdings.
Showing us that GBP/JPY's been the most traded pair (selling, so we do opposite and buys etc)

P.S. equity just hit 12,5K

The second day of testing went well.
I consider it satisfying, but I don't expect to continue to make two digits % each day. I expect the profit factor to be at around the 1,25-1,50 area, this would be enough to claim this theory to be concluded as true (profit factor over 1 shows profitable, under 1 shows loss) Also many more days are needed, but I'm excited about the continuation of counter retail volume testing.

Current holdings and demo statictics:

Looks like the third profitable day in a row.
Demo setting new high at 13,2k. Notice how focused retail's been on aud, gbp and jpy ^.

Account broke the 14k barrier.
It really performs above expectation at the moment.

Nice Mr Lekkim!
i cross fingers for new approach

Thank you, Liarg

Yes same, it sure is exiting, let's see how long it can keep up the pace.
