Thanks Mr.C, indeed your explanation sounds reasonable. I tested the average daily range fulfillment on a bunch of pairs starting from 1999 till today (a bit more extensive analysis on EURUSD). It looks like the chance to fulfill 100% of the ADR ...

MM Stats — Hello Mr.C, I assume that MM on weekly is down if the price is below week open. Same for monthly MM, if price is below month open. If my assumption is right, have you performed any kind of statistical analysis that validates the ...

Wiz is there a best time to have your orders triggered? I mean if you have a level that wasn't yet triggered do you keep it overnight just in case is triggered by Asia for example? I'm thinking that best is to make sure liquidity is at its max, so ...

As long as the market doesn't bounce a long way I'll keep it. For example AUDUSD didn't bounce too much (on H4 which I'm watching anyway) so for now I'm keeping the order.

EURGBP — Tom, can you comment please on EURGBP today's setup? I wonder if it was a good setup in your books, or not, and why? 0.893 looked good to me for a few reasons: * old good level (high of previous 12 montsh) * it broke out with speed * ...

Exactly same here. Missed AUDUSD and burned on EURGBP...

EURCAD — Beautiful setup, completely missed it as I don't watch this pair very often. On H4 is visible how fast it fell in the SR. Closed the last day of the week hard down - who would have thought to buy it?

EURJPY Daily — This one looks good. Nice bounce zones on both long & short sides.

EURCHF Daily — EURCHF Daily, looks like a good flip zone, was well respected in the past. P.S. Wiz, do you use some automatic trade management EA/Indicator? It looks to me that it can help trading this way? Say get the trade to BE when it ...

I disagree. You don't need to have a graduate level understanding in maths/stats (if graduate level understanding is what I assume it is). You need to have basic understanding of those to start it up. Have a look at url , "simple" trend following ...

Backtesting platform — Hello, First thing you need a strong backtesting platform. MT just doesn't cut it... You have a multitude of choices: build one yourself (time waster for me) or buy one (Amibroker, Tradingblox, TradesStudio etc). Or free ...

Silent Service Method

Great post Chris! You're one of the most realistic people in this forum. A handful of you vs thousands of jokers, that's what FF is nowadays...

Silent Service Method

Fair enough. But range or trend, trying to skew the winning % in your favor is the same hopeless thing - trying to predict the market direction. I don't think you'll get too far, at least over the long term. Skewing the average profit in your favor ...

Robustness in trading systems

A bunch of graphs and a conclusion doesn't make the conclusion true. On top of it there's a bunch of PROVEN fund managers/traders that say that the way to go is to look to increase the average profit instead of the winners %. And it makes sense ...
