Disliked{quote} thanks for the tip Abade... unfortunately, when entering every opportunity, these skyscrapers or pits of hell are inevitable, and as hard as one tries to filter them out, they will still be encountered, the more you go through, the better you get at them, i personally find it pointless trying to avoid them, in fact, they often provide the biggest windfalls, losses, however should be avoided at all costs the only rule in my plan restricting entries aside from KoF's rule of not trading at the end and start of each trading day is to not sell...Ignored
Here is a follow-up example applying this mechanical filter. It's not failproof but it will lower your drawdowns quite a bit:
You may add as many indicators as you'd like.
It's true that you cannot filter ALL of the strong moves, however you can filter the most obvious ones by delaying your entries after a strong EMA cross + breakout.
I know it's all hindsight, I will add proper backtests in the next weeks, I've been too busy with work things to focus as I should.
