    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    How did you reach that conclusion? 1819.25 is BELOW 1820, not equal to it and NOT above it! It would be good to know when you would sell, so we can have an idea about what would happen to the guy who would buy from you. I found your post funny. If the market goes up say above 1840, I...

    71.2 % Win Rate

    Are you sure that is what you wanted to state? A win rate is always positive, and a ratio is always positive, yet expectancy can be negative.

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    Since it is getting closer to 2 hours, and only one fish out of planned 10 would have been done, the simulated backer might ask to take what is available for the second simulated contract. Simulated changes: third simulated contract is moved up to 25.5, and second simulated contract would be...

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    This is simulated world, but in real-time. So you are on the long side, right? I have my opinion where the market would not go on long side, but I am not revealing it. My backer would have known about it, and would have asked me to simulate things in front of his opposition. The high so far is...

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    For those who seem not to agree, let us simulate this. Assume I am managing money for a big money. Let us say the backer has 10M. We simulate the shorting of 10 emini contracts at every 2 points starting at 1820. Last contract would then get in at 1838 if it gets there in next 24 hours. The...

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    I never claimed that you claimed that (please read again my post). If you want to relate my post to yours, I would probably say your questions are probably inverted in subject and complement: I would ask in which time frame big money takes money from small money.

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    It is sunday evening, so no big money. The buyers are therefore small money. ES is at 1820. The guy who bought at 1820 is in my view a moron who would make money only from another moron. Since the chain of morons is finite, at least one of them would hold the bag. If he bought to close, we...

    Is the larger time frame overrated?

    Traders do not make big or small money from big money whether in small or in large time frames. It is rather big money that makes money from small traders, in both small and large time frames. The tiny minority of small traders who make money, make it from other small traders. The bottom...

    Historical probablility based exits ?

    We do not see things the same way, and it is a normal thing. For example, profit levels at time of entry is a random variable. If one agrees that it is a random variable, there are a number of important conclusions that can be derived from it, one of which is that one may not want to think of...

    What are your Trading Breakthroughs?

    I wanted to give, and I am not wishing to be given anything. You assumption about me is therefore not correct. I believe that when I give I would receive something I do not know yet, but I would receive something. The key to receiving, in my view, is to give. It is particularly true in...

    What are your Trading Breakthroughs?

    That was not the question. If you think I am not right, get that question back, and post it without modification for others to read it. I do not know if it was you who asked for it to be removed. Your thanking others for removing valid questions is not what I believe an intellectual person...

    How much are you margined?

    Better ask in term of leverage. 2:1, 3:1, 20:1, etc. Margin equity is meaningless and fuzzy because its meaning depends on the definition of margin by your broker/account. An exchange between two persons: "Where is the train station? It is in front of the bank. Where is the bank? It...

    71.2 % Win Rate

    Could someone explain the calculations? Shouldn't 3x leverage & 45% drawdown lead to zero equity?

    Historical probablility based exits ?

    The journal will establish whether what you say works or does not work. When you were reading my journal, you saw facts in front of your eyes in real time.
