Only a 55% consistent win rate is good enough to become rich.
Hold back a little with all these claims. Not only it is just not true, you bump up this topic with nonsense like many other mental patients here already do.
Not that it matters to me. This is just well-intentioned advice for you from my side. Better focus on something for your own that will help you personally.
All the best

{quote} Only a 55% consistent win rate is good enough to become rich. TDI has a more than a 65% win rate, how you know that did you backtest it? where is your backtest result? If you can't show a 65% of win rate of TDI or any other indicator with a proper backtest result no one will believe that, yes some new traders will believe that because they don't understand the market that is why. experts have already tested RSI in a various different way, I never found RSI has more than a 65% win rate. if anyone says RSI has an 80% win rate and TDI has a...
You remember this Post 110,678 : Tien pips is good for me, more is always better. If it happens good, if not, try tomorrow again.
That 10 pips is a two edge sword.
When account grows and lot size is compound (in my case) from 0.10 to 0.20 to 0.30.......... the pips still stay at 10 pips.
The profit for each pip increase according to lot size.
lot size 0.10 = 1 pip = 0.10 /// lot size 0.20 = 1 pip = 0.20 //// lot size 0.30 = 1 pip = 0.30
That "more is always better" means if one trade goes more then 10 pips (let say ) up to 21 pips what will the impact be on account
lot size 0.10 = 1 pip * 21 = 2.10 /// lot size 0.20 = 1 pip *21 = 4.2 //// lot size 0.30 = 1 pip * 21= 6.3
You follow BigE advice in this thread, and you understand post#647 you will be able to achieve more then 65%
Just for fun Hasib, here is something to think about when you are going to read Emmanuel narcissistic response to this post:
Post 110,683Tekkies is all over the place once again jumping from post to post selectively to justify his beliefs. > #6, #285 and # 1933
Post 110,682
Think about double staander and the constant attempts at ridiculing other members that don't agree with him.

{quote} Thanks for that, mosisky. Here is a little discussion that demonstrates how/why the 5-bar fractal indicator is a repainting indicator. First, we need to define repainting. Repainting is when after a bar has closed, something associated with that closed bar will be CHANGED at some point in time in the future. And after this change occurs, it remains. When this "something" can be displayed as a visual aid, such as a symbol above, below, adjacent to, or even on a bar, or perhaps the bar color, then we can say that this visual aid has been "painted",...
@DrDick -- back in July when you took it upon yourself to trash @emmanuel7788 and this thread you probably figured the risk:reward was worth it. You so hate @emmanuel7788 you were willing to risk your reputation to embarrass him and shutdown this thread -- your stated goal. Now that you've failed there is no longer a reward -- all you have left is the risk. Your risk:reward ratio currently sits at infinity. And I understand you can't help yourself -- many of us are old enough to be able to spot a self-destructive personality a mile away.
@DrDick -- I was really hoping you'd bring back @ivan9578. I so enjoyed his Pidgeon English posts. I was hoping to have a brief conversation with him, like: "ha ha ha mr dick i tink you no much not abot trading you man very sorry you trader fake you dokter fake ha ha ha". BTW -- just as an FYI -- people from the Netherlands don't speak Pidgeon English. They mostly speak Dutch or English.
@DrDick -- someone might eventually get annoyed with your posts they ask a FF admin to look into the relationship between your claimed alias and @ivan9578 (https://www.forexfactory.com/ivan9578). And if they discover the request cookies of the two are similar well, then, your a-s here is toast. Since you hate @emmanuel7788 so much and since you've destroyed your credibilty you may think you have nothing left to lose -- but you might be wrong...
As always, all the best. Baa..., Baa...

{quote} Here is a peek. Read more here. So rules: these are specifically designed to be ambiguous and incomplete. 1. Monthly charts for analysis 2. Entries based on yearly outside bars 3. Also take note of the 7 minute, 35 minute, 5 hour, 19 hour, 3 day and 5 week charts....that should do it 4. Enter when you feel like it in any direction 5. Use a stop loss of no more than 7 pips plus spread 6. Your aim is to keep taking losses until you don't,...
Not a very profitable method. All profit you are going to make will go for prescribed "stay awake" pills.

Sattym7 As any fractals : yes Mladen is a very well known coder. Am sure he knows: - something about MT4 coding. - understand the meaning of repaint. Come to think about it. All those that don't agree with you are coats's, even poor old Mladen way back in 2016 does not...
I've attached the simplest implementation using MT4's built-in iFractal() API -- including the source code. Fractal markings are painted (not REpainted) 2 bars late -- because they require 3 bars to form a pattern. Go for it -- use Strategy Tester and convince yourself one way or another. No doubt you won't because it is so much more convenient to believe what you read on the Internet. And you call yourself traders and offer advice to others? Yet you are incapable / disinclined / incurious to figure out one of the most basic tasks of a discretionary trader who relies on indicators. I wouldn't trust / touch anything you say with a 10-foot pole...
@Tekkies -- the start() function has 10 lines of code -- that's it. Show us where the code goes back in time and REpaints a fractal marking using more recent bar data. The algorithm paints a marking ONCE -- it never REpaints it.
Below is the source code for the algorithm. The 'for' loop traverses the data from oldest to most recent. Where exactly does more recent data go back in time and REpaint older markings? You say you can't see it in the code, but you read it on the Internet. Right...
Okay -- I provided the pre-built *.ex4. If you don't understand the simple source code below then run the *.ex4, very slowly, in Strategy Tester's visual mode and tell me whether you see any fractal markings change locations? If not, then it doesn't REpaint. And if you say you don't know how to use Strategy Tester then you shouldn't be posting advice on how to trade -- TMS or any strategy... And that includes you, too, @DrDick...

And the verdict has not changed. Tekkies has been wrong for years about what repainting means. He admitted he cannot code and he went and ask in other threads for coding help. Now he is quoting from the internet to look for vague articles to try and wriggle his way of out same old situation.
Same EURUSD D1 charts below as of New York Friday 5PM :
same broker, same time, same price OHLC , same last tick,....
{quote} The MT4 Fractals indicator does not repaint the past. Below is EURUSD Daily chart with Fractals. Tell us which bars/candles in the past have the Fractals repainted? The logic of Bill Williams Fractals is simple and well known. The Fractal bar/candle must have two bars before it and two bars/candles after it. When you see a Fractal bar/candle, you simply need two bars after it to confirm that Fractal. Nothing complicated with Fractals and you do not need an indicator to show you the highs and lows when you are trading in real-time live markets. Also confirm by FerruFX { here } {image}
