I'm using MT5 for running Algo. Its probably not the best, but it meets my simple needs.

Backtesting in MT5 is complicated when it comes to futures. SInce you have different contract months, you can't test continously (unless you use continuous contract). Also DST doesn't adjust automatically in test. And also I don't have a "holiday" filter added (i don't trade half days). So...

It's random bro. You're just seeing shapes in the clouds, in context of traditional technical analysis.

So if I believe that prices are random, then the only bet I can be sure of is the unlikelyhood of consecutive hits. In a 50/50 dice, what's the probability of 10 head in a row? 15? 20? The longer the streak, the lesser the probability. ex: 15 streak is about 1.5%...

Also, if you approach this type of trading, you have to go all in. Best way to manage risk is to break up your capital like 5 ways for example. Using this calculator, you can simulate your probability of gettign your capital back if you have high overall % win rate. (remember 2% risk will...

Why is selling option strategies have higher probability of succes than buying options? As an option seller you're basically trying to create a boundry for price movements. When price moves directionally, that's equivalent to consecutive hits on a dice. So you try to create a boundry where that...

Just google brownian motion and financial markets. There are many studies proving prices are random. First post I just showed random charts using random function. If i put those next to real charts, nobody can tell a difference. Or just watch this video. at 10:12, he (quant dev) talks about...

How ironic would it be to win the trading competition based on random entries? If I win it and get interviewed, i'm gonna shit all over TA...ooh that would be so good :D
