{quote} I wonder if the Stop Loss was 50% of Entry (instead of Low) to the High, in this example Let’s see, that would be... Anyone good with maths? Rough guess, about 7.5% above the current 50%, so about right where you say, let me work on it with Fibonacci
I was using 50% of the range for SL......so it would be 65% from entry.

{quote} I'm glad you posted this picture Erebus. Look at where price went after it hit the TP2.....it went back up to our SL almost to the pip. I seen this too many times during my visual backtest so I think that instead of using a 50% SL we can use a 55% SL to avoid times like these.
That works in this case, the TP’s have to be moved out as well to keep the ratio

But I’d rather take the 2 to 1, most will exit on retracement like this

No guarantee that price will go back down for even more profit

So the question is, does the extra stop loss benefit in this case? NO

Only the EA testing guys can give a better picture of long term outcomes

Always a delicate balance to achieve the correct balance between RISK and REWARD

Cheers

I also seen a good number of times where price would barely reach our 1:1 target or just barely short. So maybe adjusting our TP target to a little shy of 1:1. So adjusting both the SL and the TP slightly. Both in a direction that would decrease our R:R. I know that's not what you would normally do but it might help the strike rate enough to make it worth it overall. Only visually backtesting with good notes and forward testing will tell us.

Damn, sorry I didn't keep better notes when I did all that viusal backtesting. oh well, maybe someone else will out do me and come up with much better and in depth stats. Just to remind everyone, we're not looking for "averages". We are looking at "frequency distribution" (a mathematical function showing the number of instances in which a variable takes each of its possible values.) For example it would be nice to know how many TP's and SL's a pair hit when the range was between 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, etc...We wouldn't be looking for the average range and the average amount of times it hit 1:1, 2:1, 3:1.

Strike rate? Nothing wrong with my strike rate buddy!

I want more members of this thread in the top 10

That’s the strike rate I want to see

Haha some decent memes indeed.

But the problem are not these market conditions ofcourse, it's just the longer term, like you said somewhere yourself. It's really not so productive to discuss how well the system is performing right now is it? Just one look on any chart and you can see godlike trending conditions, honestly in 8 years i've rarely seen such neat curves on charts for so many months, if you cannot make money in these conditions you really ought to take a long hard look at yourself (unless ofcourse your a range trader but all trend followers and breakout people should be raking money like crazy).

The only interesting part is how you'll deal with the inevitable 'other' market conditions, whatever may come next and after that. I think Bojack is trying to figure that out, that's not so bad is it? In fact like I say I think that is almost the only productive thing to discuss here anymore. You got the EA to handle stuff, as long as these market conditions hold you just have to keep it turned on and gaze at your profits, what else is there to do besides investigate the strategy more, see what it's weaknesses might be in the future and how you might negate these weaknesses.

Without amending the source, you can't.

This is most likely caused by you using a non-standard display. MT4 doesn't scale the graphics on charts properly when using a non-standard display - I get the same issue on my Surface Book...completely unreadable

You only need the first page. HiLo MonTues daily candles. Add subtract from HiLo 15% of range (hi-Lo) for breakout. 50% of range SL 100% of range TP. That is about it.

Just looking back prices can move in one direction for sometime. This week has been a bit choppy but overall not much different to when money moves from one place to another. As I said many posts ago although its a good strategy I consider it a bit crude. GBPJPY missed the TP by a hair and now posting a loss. These are the trades we need to tighten up on and not let a winner turn into a loss. Looking at a trend to my eyes it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Price does seem in general to breakout the way you would expect. Looking forward to closing all trades and doing some hindsight analysis.
