5 years and still no strategy

GU agreeing.

OK now back test for success. Without having gone into detail you have how I am trading but that wasn't the point. Build a system, write it down, back test it. If it survives the 20 day up, 20 down, 20 sideways test you are onto a winner. If it doesn't start the process again, if that doesn't start ................... you get the point.

thanks for all replies I agree with some things but I won't give up on 1:2 ratio - it saves your ass during a series of losses here's a small preview of what I've been trading for the past few weeks - lower low or higher high, pullback and confirmation on H4 timeframe... this is what I would like to trade but as you can see in this lossy trade sometimes I have a problem with the correct SL and TP setting... this could be a profitable trade, but it is what it is {image} I know that sometimes I make stupid mistakes, but...

I ask what is an indicator? You can share?

Thank you CindyXXXX for that quality contribution. The point wasn't whether you like my set up or not, obviously you don't but you have somehow completely missed the issue. That is to find something and back test to the point that you can see the system has a chance of working and if it doesn't repeat the process.

And onto my system that you hate so much, you think trading lower highs and higher lows with a trend filter doesn't work? Are you kidding.

Hahahaha I almost p*ssed myself with your drivel. I have never in 10 years been tempted to reply like this or felt the need to defend myself. Despite all your enlighted p*ss take comments there are some people that may need some help.

If you don't think buying above/selling below ma's works fine, if you don't think higher lows and lower highs work fine, if you don't think having agreement across pairs works fine, if you don't think putting the whole thing together works fine, if you don't think back testing works fine. If thats your opinion and you're entitled to it.

Can't wait for the next waste of space post you make.

It is a circus, isn't it? I replied this morning and deleted my reply because it was too harsh. Here is what the thread starter is requesting:

" I'm not looking for a holy grail, but for something really simple with 50% accuracy at 1:2 ratio. 3-5 trades per day during EU session and that's all."

I can't think of a kind, empathetic reply to that request.

There are many things that are need to be taken care off if we wanna survive in Forex Trading and strategy is one of them, so you need to learn it.

i don't post here very often, but when i see a good meaningful thread like this, then it makes me jump too. I have all the sympothies with the creater of this thread. I am on the same boat, but even longer time period that I can not defy a really good accurate trading strategy. It took me 10 years and I am still learning new things everyday. All the open strategies out there are not applicable for small traders like you and I. There are a few close guided secret trading stragegies for just a few elite traders, you just have to find them and join the club, but expecting to pay a hefty price to be in the club. Or alternatively, get a hacker to find their secrets. What i learnt so far is all the horizontal lines such as price action based indicators, for example support / resistence, fib levels, around numbers are just a tip of iceberg, there are much more need to learn. The most difficult part of developing an surefire proof strategy is to combine time based analysis. So time is more important than price. If you master Time and Price, then you will have a good tradable strategy. This just my little humble opinnion anyway.

What is elite traders that fly around here and there? They have the same brain. Some you call elite may not be as educated as you are. Just find your strategy, nothing more. Stay long enough with your strategy, in good and in bad times. Stop changing from one indicator to another every now and then

Just for you Cindy then I'll bugger off. Double bottoms/higher lows obviously don't work, AO to be in line obviously doesn't work, buy above ma's doesn't work, pairs agreeing doesn't work, engulfing closes (the arrows up/down) doesn't work. Stuff me up but here's another ridiculously lucky 100 pip move.

But quote John Snow or put up a pic of a tank, thats really helpful.

10000 hours to master a subject.
13 years if you put 2 full hours a day.

Also, it dppends on the quality time, I learn classical guitar since 16 years (my hobby)...half and hour, to 1 hour a day.
It took me 10 years just to learn how to learn...

I trade since 15 years, became profitable (consistently) last year ...

Both trading and music are lotīs of fun.

My guitar playing is good for a "master beginner"...to play professionally (like with a little band in a bar), I would need at least another 3.

Once you accept the realities of the challenge, you begin to enjoy...

I have been more negative in the last few hours than I have in ages, (yes I have been a bit of a bitch also) but sorry Cindy as wonderful as you are no doubt, I need to avoid you like the plague. Need to keep my head right. So no further sarcastic comments from me and definitely no pics of tanks or comments about winter is coming (it was a little chilly this morning though).

The simplest methods tend to be the most effective. CindyXXX is merely playing devils advocate, he is good at that.

Edit: And you may have solved a lot of traders issues with that one post. They have a two indicator template that is hard to mess up.
