And this one. My love/hate relationship with SP500 made me come back. But I will trade SP on Tradingview only, to keep it seperate from my DAX reports in cTrader.

Just thought I would post two messy charts to show that brilliant trades don't materialise every day. What you do then is important for your mind and profitability. Messes me up sometimes.

Hi kerel,
I came across this post (https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...9#post15236449) yesterday and there were already quite a few hard hitting things in the interview before 50% of it was up (still to listen to the second half ;-))
Major takeaway .. stats are NOT in favour of home-runs.
Also, get your daily profit target, if more just risk the extra on an extra trade increasing your risk. This esp. will make things interesting.

So, nothing wrong with being conservative esp. when you are raking in the ++s.

Cheers

Hi, thanks! That's valuable. Good to know I'm not on my own, and there's not much wrong with my conservative targets. Yes, I am happy with the relatively small profits. So probably best to keep it as it is. I'm aiming for next support/resistance level as target, or 2x SL (whatever comes first), but even that is sometimes hard. But the profit factor of this quite good in my experience.

I have another few weeks before I'll be back to trading on a daily or near daily basis. However, my worst days historically have been FOMC days and generally I don't trade those days any longer.

I do have a question about losing trades. While vidvad is busy, I am trying to keep thread running.

After how many losing trades, you(anyone who reads this and would like to answer) will decide that techniques that you are trading with, has no edge?

I know some will think that it is not about trades but about percentage of equity you losing on each loosing trade, but it most likely when losses occur multiple trades this % does not matter.

If technique loses 3,5,6,10 trades in the row will you trade again or will you stop and go back to spinwheel, i . e. researching?

P.S. My answer(been trading live successfully for the last 4 years): If "system" takes 5 losing trades in a row, it is time to start reevaluating WTF is going on?

This question is actual genius. Not just of this thread, but all of trading strategies. Nobody ever talks about expectation. Probability is one thing, and you can manage trades that way, expectation is another. There is a good team on this thread, looking forward to their view.

I ran backtest of Mebob strategy and sure it has some kind of edge... But it need some sort of filter for entries, I tried different variants 1:1 risk reward 1:1.25 ect..., ATR based stop loss, range based stop loss, one trade per Mebob, two trade in opposite direction, even with double size second entry like Tom Houggard mentioned and? results in loooong term 4 years barely breakeven, some variants profit like 10k on 100k acc in 4 years or even minus, I think strategy can be traded profitable but it need some filter or extra confirmation as if you will just blindly enter every single trade you will end up with making some pennies or even losing money.

Sharing it as it may be helpful for someone.

Best regards,
Oscar
