very hard to reverse engineer a strat. first you gotta find the right indicator(s) (unless it is from the most popular ones, but i doubt it) and then the parameters from it. and if you use more than two or three indis, then it becomes almost impossible. also if brokers steal strategies, they...

nope you can use 100 parameters and still be fitted but you can use 1 parameter and be overfitted fitting doesn't depend on the number of parameters, it depends whether those parameters have been chosen to be optimal during a selected period. you can overfit a MA with only 1 period parameter...

- does your EA works with any asset with the exact same parameters ? - if you change parameters slightly is it still profitable ?(otherwise it's over fitted)

coud you explain the core of your strategy ? this would be more interesting than showing backtests, thanks

it reminded me of Adam Khoo, that said to win, you need "to trade like a casino" you just need to make your wins bigger and your losses smaller. but the problem is the winrate is not 50/50 anymore if you do that. so it helps not. actually losing twice as much is not good on morale I think

also programming allows you to test a strategy on a lot of past data. if you do this manually, this is quite a lot of work. And how do you know the strategy doesn't work only on the period you tested it on ? it has to be profitable for years before you can know something about it. If you...

if price goes to $110 then I prefer taking profit at $105 than averaging up and ending at BE it's not about losing a bunch of times and then getting a big trend that will make up all the losses, if you trade that way it's impossible to be consistent, simply because trends are rare, and BIG...

a point is the smaller value possible of an asset. so 1 point = 0.01 for XAUUSD you gotta compare what's comparable (1 of your "point" on EURUSD is huge, but on Gold is really small) and 9/11 mostly affected USAs, you're not alone in the world , lol

timeframe is irrelevant, except when you add spread (and except M1 surely). on higher TFs you need a smaller edge, because trades are bigger : more profits means less spread relatively. you gotta test your edge on every TF with zero spread, then add spread, and higher your TF until in profit...

formula is : Y = (D - C)*(X - A) / (B - A) + C really easy basic formula

to cut losses early, you need really good entries. otherwise you'll cut short every good entry with the others. not easy I prefer some slack in the closing time SL should never be hit, it's just there for capital protection

short GOLD in times of crisis ??? somebody skipped their trading lessons ! i said to buy gold before it gained 20,000 points

do it in MT5. you can backtest multipairs also and free data

ain't that arbitrage ? do you bet on the spread per say ? or do you bet on one index moving more than another in opposite direction ?

what is spread trading ? can you elaborate on this ?

not possible. it makes no sense : you can't trade on D1 with a TP that makes the trade only a few seconds. the shortest you can trade on D1 is one bar. Or maybe a TP within that first bar, but not just few seconds i think you don't understand that the higher the TF, the slower you trade. it's...

what makes no sense is : he is trading in D1 but some trades only last seconds ??? anybody finds a problem here?

I think a strategy is good when it makes money, with low DD (<20%) over 28 pairs for 20 years on 9 timeframes with zero spread (just to know the edge) AND when it has only a few parameters to avoid curve fitting good luck with that Jeff

i'll mentor you DON'T TRADE REAL MONEY until you're good on demo for at least 1 year you're welcome

thanks for sharing but i think divergences are just disguised as a mathematical occurence, that means nothing really
