Are these trades valid?
I am finding the following challenges:
- TP - too tight
- SL - too tight
- WICK - too small. How long should the wick be minimum? e.g. 2 pips.
{quote} I get what you’re saying, and I’m not disagreeing that higher-timeframe trend direction matters- it obviously does. But the whole point of what I’m testing is whether the simplicity of the wick idea still produces a positive expectancy even without over‑complicating it. Yeah, in a clean H1 trend the probabilities are naturally stacked, but the interesting part for me was that even in a 30m range (Dec 11 example), the raw stats still came out profitable: 11 wins, 8 losses, +3R. And that’s without filtering out the chop, without trend...
yes indeed,
, so its been a lot more than 4 days now, and results have been good, now im thinking what about slippage , i didnt have any as it was a demo account ( i didnt see any at least) , ive got no money available until 5th of january , ill put minimum amount in and go live , and share results,also id quite like to add 1 rules that makes it more likely we are taking trades in a trend , so ,,, ideas welcome, but like you said strip everything back, what the simplest way to determine trend
{quote} yes indeed,
