it's yer subparcap utility efficiency. I use btwn quarter to half % of total acct equity, while actually only risking up to a third of my cap utility (0.075-0.15%) to make 50 bps avg daily expectancy ROE daily (annualizes to 125%). ROI% per play is typically mid/high double - low triple digit...

let's say it's not timeframes. Let's say it's fixed-price brick logic. Logic is super clear, already got it in NT/TS automated - backtests are stellar phenomenal but based on flawed bar OHLC parameters. Using discretionary manual execution for now, need to replicate intrabar entry logic across...

Spot clear trend inception/continuation/reversal inflection points
NO CRAYON SPAGHETTI, NO INDICATORS. CLEAN PURE PRICE ACTION fixed-size bricks.
