it looks like you add to losing positions, but do not add to profitable positions....do you think floating profits and losses would more likely to even out if you add to winning positions as well?....of course you would not need to limit the amount ...

Nice paper backtest, probably will fail in the future, why? :(
- yonnie replied Mar 24, 2021
no, its not impossible to find a ranging market, but it takes time to show itself.....look for instance at G/U; it took 6+ days to show the range limits between 1.4017 and 1.3779.......you could draw a line through top and bottom and trade between ...

dont think you can adapt a system that much, so that it will survive in all market conditions.....assume you`ll have to stop trading it on a real account and maybe continue on a demo account, until the system is in profit again for some time...... I ...

hello guys, this thread is about trading with the trend by looking at the monthly, weekly, daily and even 4H candles......after almost 1 day trading in the new week, we look if all TF`s are green or red and if so, we go long (if green) or short (if ...
