Don't worry about filtering... When you filter with "other" indicator, you always end up filtering some good ones. So it becomes a never ending history

Take all the trades and do as explained in post#21
The exit is what makes a strategy profitable.

Take a screenshot of about a week of chart an follow along like in post#21 . Notes all the entries and where you would have exit.. count the net pips, deduct the spreads and you will see.

I agree with this. Using an indicator to filter trades will also prevent you from getting in early on winning trades also. And since the strategy is dependent on the average winning trade being greater than the average losing trade, it's not a good idea to filter. My only "filter" (if you even want to call it a filter) would be major supports and resistances. Although as I have stated before you could also ignore these and still make profit. However in my experience not as much per dollar risked.

please go over it once more so its clear for all

I don't know about the indicator you are using ... but from the chart is your first post , it seem to me that would be ok to let the positions run until an opposite signal is triggered. But close only the position in profits.

example... in that chart you show 5 signals .. 3 sells and 2 buys ..rt?
sooo.

enter short in 1st signal.... enter long in signal 2, close the sell because is in profit. enter short in signal 3 ... close buy because in profit. Enter long in signal 4.. leave the sell open (it seem in BE or in negative) Now your are fully hedged. Enter short in signal 4.. leave the sell and the buy open (seems that none of the 2 have profits...

at that point you net is +1 short.



thank for your input

I strongly advise to not hedge. If you're thinking of being net x lots short then do it with only one or all trades short. Don't have long trades and short trades open simultaneously. It is never an advantage from a mathematical standpoint. One could make the case that it helps from a psychological standpoint, but I would suggest to that person to get comfortable only being one directional. Hedging and closing trades that are only in profit is just a mind game being played onto oneself. A game that is ultimately costlier.

Hi TFS.

In general, what would be the mathematical disadvantage of having long and shorts open simultaneously?? Other then an occasional swap.

It is not a mind game, it is a strategic and more efficient way to utilize resources.

The psychological disposition should be that at one point on time we must stop the losses, one way or another, liquidating a debt to make a purchase or an out right purchase incurring in a second debt..

If I do the first, close an open position, my debts are equalized. (have no debt). My equity show the result.

If I do the second, my debts are also equalized (have 2 debt ). My equity show the result.

I am mathematically is the same shape, perhaps better if I plan to trade again, because I can liquidate all individual debts when it is to my advantage.

The key point is not to worry about the 2 open equalized debts.
One must look for the next entry according to the strategy rules.... then consider the optionscan how to purchase .. liquidating a debt or not.

Yes it's good to use bigger size -- you will get less trade and less false

I like to trade between 8 and 13

3 is too fast -- too many trades and many false signal
