DislikedI had a suggestion earlier to help you maximise the returns,, but from these numbers you are well balanced, nothing to addIgnored
i worked very hard developing this system, u have no idea how many countless hours i've stuck my fat head to the screen. i've considered all the possibilities and all what you have in mind (which i think i know what it is). i found out that what they say in the books isn't pretty accurate; "it's not about quantity, it's about quality" crap.... it IS about quantity trades with "high probability", and this IS a game of probabilities. i RARELY get my SL hit. this system gives me a very good chance to exit my trade nicely and smoothly with minimum loss, or with maximum profit.
don't get me wrong, i don't drawn in my own pool, and i don't follow my system blindly, i've gained lots of experience staring at candlesticks and patterns, and i utilize that to filter out the bad trades.
another thing worth mentioning. i could be long and short at the same time (but not hedging) on the same pair. here's an example;
i've shorted euro 1.5803 and still am. i was LONG at the 11th based on my m30 system (short still open). closed the long with profit and entered short yesterday (in addition to original short) and closed that yesterday too. today i went long and lost some pips on that, and again, short with the profit mentioned in the earlier post.
that's my style, and that's how i trade. i hope this answers ovaforty too. i'm both a long term and an intraday trader, and yes it is a hard and long job, i barely get any sleep. but it's worth every damn hour 3 years from now. don't u think??
