    Why some people say that once rates hit 0%, the central bank starts to "push on a string"

    Because interest rates and inflation are so low, the opportunity cost of spending is also low. Which is why people aren't inclined to spend and are instead saving/hoarding money, thus money velocity is at historic lows. All the money pumped into the markets is just being saved by people.

    Why some people say that once rates hit 0%, the central bank starts to "push on a string"

    Can a consistently losing strategy be profitable if I do the opposite of it?

    Just backtested my strategy on 1 tick fill resolution from the beginning of the year and the results seem less fake i guess?

    Can a consistently losing strategy be profitable if I do the opposite of it?

    Now that you mention it it does look too straight, but I set both take profit and stop loss at 5 ticks ($62.5) so it might make sense that dips are not shown because 5 ticks is nothing compared to the cumulative net profit. Any idea why it may look fake?

    I was testing a trend following strategy on 5 minute ES chart in ninjatrader and it came out with a 44% wr without commissions involved. I am skeptical of how some entry and exists occur on the same bar, also how significant does slippage play a role in backtesting and are there any other...

    Can a consistently losing strategy be profitable if I do the opposite of it?

    Logically if I took the opposite trade of a consistently losing strategy I would have a consistently profitable strategy, or am I missing something that I haven't accounted for? If my question is true, has anyone tried this before and was your opposite strategy successful?
