I want to believe this, but I'm skeptical. A daytrader can make this many trades in just a month. Who's to say whether or not market conditions have just been favorable for you and you are yet to really be tested? For 2017, I'm net positive over 200 ...

What kind of sample size is ideal?

Whether you trade the trend or counter-trend, in and of itself, has little bearing on your susceptibility to drawdown. The amount to which you endure drawdown is a function of risk/reward and win rate.

The trend is not your friend...

I agree with all that. Directional bias (in my opinion) is a different thing than a predictive mindset with the key difference being, as you pointed out, flexibility. Every trend trader has to have directional bias. I just think that those (and ...

The trend is not your friend...

I think it's perhaps too early to say

What kind of sample size is ideal?

I know I'm going to come off as a know-it-all by saying this so emphatically, but that statement couldn't be any further from the truth. It is 100% dead wrong and the reason why so many traders never turn the corner. Talk to any successful trader ...

Epiphany #4 Don't get too high when you win; don't get too low when you lose. I'm sure you've heard this one plenty of times: "Remove your emotions from trading." Well, if Epiphany #1 is easier said than done, this one is nearly impossible. After ...

Any viable way of trading with this indicator for someone who is away from their computer during prime hours? Is it possible to set up something like a text or email alert?

One question in regards to the ADX... Do you have to see the signal line and the DI lines making their crosses at the same time? In other words, what if the signal line crosses above 20 and the +DI has already crossed the -DI like 30 minutes ago?

So I should expect a response back along the lines "Due to news release, your order was filled at the first price available. Sorry, but you're shit out of luck."

Bad Order Fills

That's strange. I'm showing NO signal on the very same chart since the stoch is sloping UPWARD. My broker is GMT+2. I suppose if yours is different...??
