Thoughts of Trading Weekend Gap

I get your point and it's a common problem with newer traders. The simple answer is to care about the trend on the chart from which you are trading. Unless you holding your trades for 4 or 5 years you really shouldn't care what the USDJPY was doing ...

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically so take it any way you want. You are the one that started a thread on a public forum asking for ideas. You wouldn't be the first guy here who pretended he wanted an opinion when what you really wanted to do ...

Profit factor is a unitless number which describes the succuss of a system quite well and can be applied to any account size. It is not, however, a standalone statistic for evaluating a system. Net Profit is an account specific term and has little ...

New Expert Advisor PROFIT FACTOR 19.39

In the 3+ years I've been on this forum I have never once given my opinion on the market. The truth is, I spend no time thinking about it and have no opinion whatsoever. I find the opinions offered here to be random guesses and I look at them for ...
