{quote} was only joking, as long as you make green pips
It would be an easy matter to forward test your strategy on silver, gold what have you as many other traders are sure to do.
The reason why I'm interested in your strategy is because of the following:
1. Its easy to apply
2. It concerns only small movements in the market
3. Having a SL > TP is not such a bad idea when applied correctly (in this case it allows just the right amount of breathing space)
4. Eventually and at the right time (market timing) it may provide me with an opportunity to "load up" on an entry
That's why I'm excited....it looks promising thus far but lets see how we go.
I'm sure you have some interesting data that you've collected over the testing period....
All the best,

agreed
I'm sure you have some interesting data that you've collected over the testing period. => Oh so true, but each trader MUST find it out for him/herself as that is the only way to gain confidence in him/herself and the system as well !!

to those trading XAUUSD etc , do you notice with the "sweet spots " there are some really good moves on xauusd etc , maybe a partial close and be stop loss would catch those big moves ?.
test it out and keep us posted

I do this too but have two main issues with it:
(1) I don't have enough room on my screen to record everything I would like to about the trade. (If i write everything on the screen I just cover too much of the graph itself)
(2) I don't know how to name/manage the files when I save them in order to be able to easily and quickly find the ones I need after I have hundreds (or thousands) of those prt-screens saved.
Any input would be well appreciated.
