Disliked{quote} The second question: If all these strategies constantly lose money, why don't we reverse it? We simply sell instead of buy, buy instead of sell then we would have a constantly winning strategy?Ignored
Then I did what you suggest. I thought "what the hell". Every time I entered a trade, I would do the opposite of what I thought I was supposed to do based on the chart, indicator, PA, trend, etc. As always, the price would move in the opposite direction but now I was on the CORRECT side of the trade. instead of it hitting my stop loss instantly, it would hit my profit target, instantly. To keep my mind clear on what I'm doing, I continue to think about my profit targets as stop losses and do the opposite of what I think I'm supposed to do. It's absolutely crazy. I made this change on May 21, 2015 and (drum roll) I have not lost a trade since.
I may have the most screwed up method ever. But it works for me.
