Hey Chicky Long time bro. How's them 5 wives treating you? lol

Ahhh... nothing serious really. Just a curiosity to satisfy my slightly geek side. Much like when I got my MCSE back in 2000. Or wrote a bit of Basic back in the dark days of DOS. I'm a carpenter/trucker at heart for goodness sake so what do I do really need with that?

{quote} Hey RB. Thanks for the comment. Personally, I haven't really seen much of a difference on forward/live testing with the EAs using the tick vs bar close, but, point taken. With the $100 dynamic, I had attributed the slower backtests to the Derivative Oscillator as that bitch seems to work a fairly heavy load. Issues with backtesting? Speed of back tests are unimportant as the data that is obtained from back tests are too, irrelevant. I have issued the challenge over and over for anybody to show a complete month of back tests and how...
Just my two cents.

live testing is different from back testing.
Price history in a demo account can be different from history in a live account. I have got quite different test results because a few pips' difference. Do not know why the difference. Maybe the live data is from a broker and demo is from Meta quotes? The real time prices, buy or sell, is also 5 pips away from the price printed on the chart so be careful... In a demo account, there is no daily interest charge while in a live account THERE is a daily interest charge.

I also notice that my EA do not always trade in a demo account, but it trades well in a live account.

In summary, back testing results could be false. When trade in a live account, some trades will never happen or the trigger price, stop loss, and target is slightly different.

Dude...

Summarize proper...

Backtests are bullshit!!

AND

Should only be used to qualify the triggering and exit logic...after that, everything else is worthless!

sharing part of my trading system

I often wondered about confidence issues which kills the desire and the will to place trades after a loss.This is universal.Everyone at some point feels like shit taking a loss.
Problem is not the loss but looking at loss in needle eye perspective where we should truly devise trading mythology that looks vastly bigger picture.
Why is this crucial? Because nobody is correct 100% This simple fact must be accepted before even placing a trade.
The Edge must be measured minimum of 100 trades.This is why lot of system fail because traders don't practice it long enough to see the edge then jump from system to system.
One of the best trading system Turtle trading often had months in red but in the end of the year showed good profit.Ironically most of the original Turtles failed to follow simple directions and were kicked out and some were engineers programers etc.Not necessarily stupid people.This is because trading requires broader view,greater dimension and even more important psychological fortitude.
I am not going into a details but will post simple image from my trading system Just to share how I think and hopefully help others think in broader terms.

At present I have 2 swings working EU and GU
EU having more active trades.One can lose 3-4 swings and still show profit in 1 unit

Keep on learning new things. In today's world one needs to specialize in more than one field, just like the old days ... Greeks, Arabs, Persians or Egyptians. I am doing my third Masters in Kama Sutra, very laborious

I know what you are saying. My problem is, I don't necessarily have a hard system that I follow. I have some rules, but in the end I am a price movement (hard to explain) trader. What I can tell for sure, I am not a price level trader. Maybe it's my make, but I can't follow a hard rules system to save my life.

I would have failed the Turtles program for sure.

Hi Atilla
Yes everyone is different.I only posted this to help get over "I lost a trade" mentality.We all should look trading in broader terms.

{quote} Stops to add shorts to BE. Shorting S&P and USDCAD, been chasing these two for a while now.
USDJPY, S&P shorts went well. now retracements are due, after that I expect continuation, will try to post here if any clear setups occur.
USDCAD hasn't been so well but I still expect a drop from current levels.
NZDUSD Long has been really quiet and still hope to see it go up.
EURUSD Until 1.3866 holds my bias is slightly short due to harmonic patterns invalidation point. When price moves this slowly most often will change direction without one realizing on the daily tf. I expect leg down on 4 hours anyway before anything else.
Have a great week.
