@Leob Thank you

I like MNQ, MGC, and MCL. I like them because if I lose money on instrument, the other instrument may give me a win to make up for the lost while another setup on the losing trade instrument may take awhile. I only have about 30 minutes to 2 hours to trade, so the more bars and instruments I...

How do you quote a ET member name in the post?

Lol agree. Longer time frame is boring. Shorter time frame, I got all day to get my losses back.

Good Morning easymon1, This is a great question you asked me. I have tried manual back testing and also programming automated back testing in the prior 5 years. I do not have the time for either. I prefer to just trade in real time and do the best I can. I will never manual back test or...

Hello easymon1, So just P/L is all you need to see. If Setup C have a net profit of $30,000 over the past 1000 trades, and drawdown of $25,000, is this satisfactory to you place money on setup C for the next XX of your life? In addition, what if you never test setup D and it has net profit of...

Hello easymon1, I highly encourage you to print out my questions and give it more smart thinking and planning answer the questions wisely and truthfully. You opened a thread about setups and asking questions, but not answering thoughtful questions about how you plan to manually backtest...

Hello easymon1, What is your answers to these questions? Thank you,

Hello Easymon1, If you answered yes to question 1, then answer the following questions please: 1. What time frame will you start manually back testing with? 2. What instrument will you start manually back testing with? 3. How many time frames do plan to manually back testing with? 4. How many...

Hello easymon1, Two simple questions 1. Do you have time and energy to manual back test these setups on X timeframes and Y instruments? X means number of timeframes you want to test these setups. Y means number of instruments you want to test the setups. For example, test setup A on the 2...

Hello Millionaire, Thanks for the feed back buddy. I appreciate any opinions/recommendations to hurry up my contract sizing in a logical way. Why do you say 2% takes too long? Also, where can I read about Kelly methods for increasing size?

Hello Millionaire, I agree, trying to go to 1 contract to XX (where XX is normally +10) just because it "feels good" or "I need to get back breakeven", is when I loss alot of money and had severe set back. When I adapted the simple risk management policy of "only risk 2% of your account...

Hello Millionaire, This is the best comment I read on ET in a very long time. If I can not eventually trade big contract size, then my efforts is pointless and I eventually need to find a trustworthy business partner that works for Sinaloa cartel and join his business. The goal in trading is...

Hello Jdesey, If you feel you exit too soon, get back in.

Hello expiated, I agree. If everyone "just created a trading plan and followed it", we all be rich right? There would not be a "high failure rate" in trading if everyone just simply created a trading plan and followed it. The phrase or suggestion "Create a trading plan" is more like start a...

Hello Mr. Scataphagos, You are absolutely 1000% correct. "Sky's the limit... but ONLY if you trade well." I need to hang this quote up somewhere. My goodness, my goodness, my goodness that is so true. Trading well is something I'm still working on, and it really is a trade well every Single...
