Race to the bottom

Okay, so i know its going to sound crazy here what im about to say, but what if we instead of trying to win against the market, and try to find an edge that will generate money in time, why not just try our best to blow an account as fast as possible ? I mean i bet we are all proffessionals in this endevour, i mean who cant blow an account, 90% of trades presumably do it really well. So i thought, given that its far more easier to destroy than to create and build in this universe, why not do the same, but use the power of reverse copy trading in our advantage ? Why not trade randomly, like the best of our ability as possible to trade like an idiot and buy and sell always at the wrong times, and have another accounted connected to our demo account, that will automatically copy all trades but reversed. Obviously this will require a RRR of 1:1 otherwise it would not work that well, but with that being said, i think this idea could really benefit people who trade and lose constantly, people lose mostly because of bad psychology, maybe bad systems also, but greed is the major culprit in our destruction, so lets use that greed to make us grow, just not on our account that we are trading on, but on another one that is growing behind our backs, while we totally decimate that demo account in front of us. I mean how hard it is to blow an account ? ive done it many times i think its easy. Also it would be recommended a minimum of TP and SL of 5 pips as to not let spread and commission affect that much, 10 pips would be better. What do you guys say ? is it retarded or is it something here ?

This thing will never work and I will explain you why.

TL;DR: due to volatility


I tried this myself already. With the RSI, you normally sell when the RSI is at 80 or above and
buy when it's 20 or below. I did the reverse: buy when above and sell when below.

When I did the reverse, I lost my money almost instantly, almost only losses.
When I did the normal strategy, I lost my money but gradually, few wins and few losses.

The only way to overcome this problem and become profitable is to identify a strategy where you lose money gradually
but through risk management (e.g take 2x profit) you become a winner. The few wins you have will make you become
a winner.

I think you were wrong because you were still trying to make money instead of losing. If you are trying to lose money, it may be much easier instead of earning it.

If you randomly enter trades with R:R 1:1, your win loss will be around 50/50 excl. trading costs. They masters already thought about that In fact, it is very hard to consistently lose if we disregard the effect of leverage(margin calls). When you have blown accounts, the main reason would have been overleveraging and trading costs, and not a special ability to pick the "wrong" trades.

In fact that is one of the things that pisses me the most.. After so much analysis and devotion, your trading is nothing but a random guess, overaxaggerated by emotions, offshore brokers leverage, and trading comissions as the cherry on top

consider looking at it another way.....

consider fractals, included with every platform....... it's commonly thought to buy when a up fractal is broke or sell when a down fractal is broke...... watch bill willams videos on that subject.....

so if someone felt hell bent on doing the exact opposite, ie, selling when a up fractal is broke or buying when a down fractal is broke, how would he go about that......

the first daily chart below contains only the fractals......

the second daily chart below contains the fractals along with the tsr as a trend indication.... with the red green lines as trade boundaries.....

now imagine selling at every 60 minute up fractal that was broke between those boundaries..... there will be some that are not broke so those are not counted as trades.... as example, that period of time had 175 up fractals but only 149 were broke.....

the third chart, 60 minute, calculates the buys and sells and total the pips made or lost during the boundaries above..... you would have made an extra 47,000 pips reversing the buy signal trades......

when the daily trend is down, it can sometimes work to reverse the buy signals and sell instead...... this does not mean you buy at the down fractal..... only that you reverse the trade that opposes the daily trend.....

the video below does not deal with fractals but the principle is the same...... that ea and indicators locate signals that oppose the daily trends and reverses those trades......


when your trading with the trend, the signal is not all that important....... just think about it......h
