Thinking Outside the Box!?!

The 'systems' that beat them % increases are usually systems you wont hear about nor will they be 100% shared publicly due to the amount of work put into their development. The ones you do see, well unfortunately not many will work and thats because ...

Existing Backtested Forex Systems

overtrading/undertrading — I think overtrading is based on: 1) the approach, 2) no defined rule set and 3) adrenaline rush. If a scalper where to take 10 trades per day they 'tecnically' could be considered undertrading, where as if he where ...

Is overtrading a necessary stage?

That is the "key" right there for consistent profits I believe. Any outcome is 50/50. All systems "work" 50% of the time. The only way that i currently know of to sway odds in your favor is through: 1) risk management. 2) knowing what ...

I agree. I think the first step is for each person to define their "box", like someone mentioned its pretty much multiple boxes. Everyone is in their own... Once you know 100% whats under the hood you can pretty much come up with all sorts of ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Ah gotcha ye i did manage to look over it, although i found it by reading the indis vs. price thread... There was a link to a thread in trade2win to a fella "john1". I did end up in contact with him with regards to the so called paradox. Just ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Thanks Marv! Yeah I see your points. About inertia thats interesting. Never thought of that. So far my thoughts are that the faster price moves in a given direction the faster you can mitigate risk. Velocity/accel is key imho and something im ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I agree. Care to direct me to these threads/comments? ive read a lot of crucial's stuff but not smjones's... Ive said what was on my mind and tried to get this going with questions. If my questions aint the appropriate well so be it. Thats the ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Nah you didnt touch a nerve. FF has to be taken with a pinch of salt. But I do find it funny in a thread where there are so called "out of the box" ideas and "thoughts" being discussed that it isnt an open minded discussion, but more of a self ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Thats the point right? To come up with different ideas and perspectives. This aint about questions i have. Its about sparking thoughts. Good. I dont expect you too. Theres different types of volatility. Does that mean your ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

My thoughts only... A trend is nothing more than a movement that persists in a given direction. If we start at 10 and price has gone to 30, that in itself is a movement. A trend. A fad. The here and now. The "latest thing". One doesnt need lines ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I seriously believe if one is to start thinking outside the proverbial box one must begin doing 2 things (one was mentioned already): 1) Define and clearly understand what exactly is contained inside the box and its 4 walls. Because, if you dont ...

How does trading benefit the economy?

Yeah that would be good too What I mean is that most overcomplicate the obvious. Less is better. People are making money on concepts introduced 20-40 years ago...but that doesnt mean new concepts dont exist. However these wont be on forums nor ...

To gain higher than 'average' returns you must: 1) Trade more frequently. 2) Increase risk/trade. 3) Accept deeper DD's. If for example one is capable of gaining 5% per month risking 1%/trade, then in order to 'up their game' and gain more all it ...
