I often times joked with my friend that I have 1000 ways to trade. Then recently he shared a new approach with me and I said: Thanks, so now I have 1001 strategies.
This thread will be devoted to sharing every strategy I have used and still use as a professional trader. Do I have a day job? Yes, not making enough to live solely on trading yet, plus it is always good to have more than one source of income.
In this thread I will not talk much about money management, mindset, controlling risk, etc but primarily strategies/approaches to trade. I have a different thread which discusses the mindset/money management side. However I do have some strategies/approaches I will discuss that in themselves can help you to increase profit on a trade without increasing risk.
So do I really have that many strategies? We will see, as I have not documented every one yet, but will be numbering each one here. Some of them may be similar but different in terms of context, I.e. when to trade one verses the other.
If others want to share their approaches/strategies, I don’t mind as long as the following criteria is met.
Update: no documentation of strategies, but I did share a trade explorer.
Update: I won’t be documenting all of my SAs. Check the trade explorer.
1) No more than 2 indicators are used
2) The chart style is candle stick
3) The strategy actually works
4) Clear instructions when to use and not use the strategy/approach and why
5) Don’t take over the thread and don’t be an a$$
If you are still testing an approach/strategy please don’t share it here. How do you know a strategy/approach (from here on I will call this “SA”) works? You actually tested/traded the SA at least 100-200 times with a positive gain result. And the 100-200 trades you tested must be over the course of 1-2 years for any given strategy.
If I see anyone violate any of above rules they will be removed to keep thread purpose in focus.
