I understand. The comment I made was based on bpr's intelligent post and I'm trying to uncover a way to make this better. This way works if you can pick trends that aren't going to drop on their way up. I rarely see a trend that does that. What about just using OTM options instead? Same...

Many winners appear.

You start at the open of the following candle. Average down based on price movement.

Do I think we could do it with scaling and adding to losing positions? Probably. What about buy some, it goes against you, buy more, then it goes in your favor, buy more. I see one concern with this. You have to be sure about identifying bottoms.

Do you think these would no longer be problems if you started with 2, then added 1, then added 2 and proceeded that way? That way your stop out at +1 would still be a winner but not break even. Having it this way requires good entries.

By Forex grid trading I mean opening one at 30, opening one at 40, opening one at 50, etc., and rarely closing them, and selling lots in the reverse direction too so you get a bunch that are open all at once with the idea that as price increases and decreases you make a lot of money over time as...

4:1 is fine if you have a 97% win rate.

Selecting tops and bottoms is not trend following.

Absolutely. Predicting numbers might be difficult because each number is unrelated to the last. Although with trading, it's not really. If price isn't going anywhere, eventually someone is going to buy. When price keeps falling, people are going to buy once it gets cheap enough. Totally...

Exceptional when there's a trend. Good luck not depleting your account when it's not.

the black lines didn't work, green line did.

Provided you were uncertain that the trend was going to keep going up, this way makes sense. Otherwise you would go long with your largest position first and make 35 instead of 14. This sounds like you are not able to successfully predict market direction. Do not feel bad regarding this. You...

Now this isn't the same as forex grid trading? Here buy one at 50, price hits 51 and you buy one and move all stops to 50. Price hits 52 and you buy one and move all stops to 51. Price hits 51 and you close all positions. Can I consider this correct?

Green bars profitable, black bars unprofitable. The second black bar is black because despite being a bottom the subsequent candle went pretty low thus stopping people out.

This is correct. Mention a better way to predict volatility and make money.

The stealth vendor who answers every question as obtusely as possible? I'm gonna go with no.

Wasn't he a trading instructor? Kind of looks bad if his students went into bankruptcy.

Considering MA crossovers do not have forecasting uses, why would you exist a long position when a 20 crosses a 50?
