I've noticed here in the trading system forum, we are all looking for trading systems that work as close to 100% of the time as possible. Perhaps that is a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe people are looking for as close to 60% as possible, or 60% or above. What is consistent between all trading systems I see here are that people are looking for one that works the most often, or often enough.
But what if we changed our mindset and decided to find and back test a system that never works? That loses you money 100% of the time? Doesn't that seem like an easier thing to do?
If we could find and write rules for and develop a system that loses you money 90% to 100% of the time, wouldn't that be a huge breakthrough in Forex trading?
You might think I'm crazy saying this, but imagine. If you found such a system, then all you'd have to do is the opposite to make money all the time.
Has this ever been considered?
