hi guys. im not much of a talker - even in real life. but i have been following certain threads here, and i kinda felt an urge to express my frustration and in the process help others to overcome the feeling of being lost in a pile of threads "profitable systems". It is no secret, FF is experiencing "trading systems overload" and wolfs disguised as sheep and looking for a baby meat. So i thought it could be a good idea to create a thread where we can "mention" (not "share") tips and tricks that we learned over the years. It would help those who are lost, or perhaps even too lazy to dig the gem out, tho cant blame them since the forum has gotten too big for one man. Now lets talk about the content of this thread a bit detailed.
I wont mention any threads/systems/strategies that i use/trade whatnot. Its my personal belief that profitability of a system is subjective and discipline is essential and even with simple tricks one can be profitable by adopting discipline. So i urge you to share only specific SETUPS that you personally TRADED at least over few months (5-6) during real-time market conditions - be it real or demo. Few more notes and ill draw the first blood.
- Backtesting is not trading. Unless you traded a certain setup on live markets, it doesnt count.
- If you think that a certain setup is very useful or very profitable or anything remotely similar to that, save it. it doesnt count.
- If you have nothing to offer dont try. its ok just to stay back and look at what others have to offer. Thats what ive done until now
ps: i know the post is a mess - as you can tell i didnt think the details through, the idea just popped in my mind and i decided to roll with it. for all i know the thread might as well be dead, but hopefully itll get the attention of veterans and their valuable input is what is this thread is all about.
