That's my point. But you can still see pips you could have made

You won't know what pips you actually get until you pull the trigger.

Some trades go 5, some go 100, I'm taking 20 generally and regretting later


Computer system wise, that'll do, it's not as polished as they'd want it, but it'll get them started collecting data!!

Time does not lead to progressive experience. Just because a person has been in school 4 years does not make them a senior, they could have simply been a freshman four times. You seem to be quite unsure whether your experience will allow you to earn a living.

I have a $500 USD live account, so turn that into big enough to start making $2000 per month to cover my costs, within 3 - 4 months would be kinda tricky.



But I can grow it along side work and get it nearer ready for full time over the next few months and maybe even add some $$'s.


Method is actually that good, so not impossible

For the method to be so good you seem mighty reluctant to commit to it. Kinda gives your detractors a bit of ammo dontcha think?

The opinion of a low iq troll isn't really an opinion.


I'm in no hurry, more to life than money.

Its a hobby, which is plan b for a wage if required ever, prefer designing methods for fun than actually trading them.

{quote} define nowhere and i have no time to quote the circle post that have second your nowhere circle is not nowhere .circle is a line that if you sarted at begining you will be back to the same place so assuming that nowhere is or lie in it you can reach it by just following the line . from this i took my assumptions that mediatores what make move direction as lines are the basic of any thing now what is the line formula it is 1+1=2 so as long as you follow 1+1=in striaght axis you will have (1+1)/a assuming that we have the degree of that...

Aha, I see. Here you go..

..if you go round in circles when you are discussing something or trying to achieve something, you do not make any progress because you keep going back to the same subjects or the same problems. I need some more data to work on, otherwise I'm just going round in circles. We can't go round in circles all day - someone will have to make a decision.

Interesting. But, Cant say that I know what are you talking about, but surely you can provide some live trades and some winning percentage of few hundred trades with real R:R over 1:1 in profits favour.

Tweaks??

A system with a proven 80% win rate does not need tweaks, Turv.

Quit looking for perfection, start a TE, and trade your system! If you do not believe in your own work, why mention it at all?

{quote} Proximus, that's pretty random in my book. I don't think these patterns are of much use on their own.

{quote} That low and barely over 50% win rate I bet, maybe less allowing for your spread issues / concerns, mission abort I reckon, find something new and start again. Shame easy to code!
Maybe i should have tested it on the next 2-3 candles to have atleast a momentum to work with.Maybe 1 candle is just not the deal, but i found a few patterns which had better expectancies but were made of more than just 1 candle.The hammer and other 1 candle patterns are good but not near the best pattern.

Keep searching and you can find better ones too, as i said, it was just an appetizer, if you want the big meal then you have to find it yourself

{quote} Are you suggesting that M1 and H4 moves are similar? You are going to make much more money with much less time on H4 and up than you ever will on M1. IMHO.
I dont know for other strategies, but for patterns, the higher you go the better results will you get.Because the trend and the momentum of price is stronger at higher timeframes, so a hammer is stronger at H1 than on M1, just as it is told by my spreadsheet, but you have to count the time too, you can have 50 trades on M1 before you get 1 trade on H4, but also the spread is stronger on low timeframe, so you have to decide.

If you have an ECN with no spread or a marketmaker with fixed spread than M1 is the best TF because you can trade many trades a day just get more money , but if you have STP broker then sadly have to move on higher timeframe if you trade stick patterns.

For other strategies may be different, but for stick patterns its just this.

I've done my research on candlestick patterns a long time ago... Not my dish Also, rather hunt and cook my meals myself. Wouldn't want it another way
