My losing, forward-tested Forex strategy (charts and equity curves) - let's fix it!

Quote from 1a2b3cppp:

Constant range bars? They eliminate chop in theory (if price is sitting there going horizontally, they don't print, which is nice) but the downside is that sometimes you get multiple bars printing at once which has its own negatives and trading difficulties.

What are those dots above and below your bars all about.

Those are DT ZZ indicators. I use a long period for trend direction (big dots) & short period (small dots) for pullbacks. Just entered long based off signal. The range bars for MT4 doesn't seem to be any issue with printing. Good luck with your testing.

1. Three of your pairs are not viable, eliminate them.

Ok. How do I know which ones?


2. You need to have a dual strategy, one for mean reversion, and one for trending, develop it.

That's very similar to what I do in my long term stock trading account.

3. You risk management profile will make a net winner or loser, nothing else. Why do you not see threads about traders specific risk management profiles??

Because that is where the edge is

Ok.
 
Quote from cvds16:

you take entries with small stops and let them get to even smaller stops soon afterwards or move your stop to breakeven. You try to let your winners run. A lot of them won't work (the majority) but that's not too bad cause these losers will be small. You put the odds in your favour by having a positive expected value as one winner might make up for five losers. My win rate might be below 50% but it's not below 20% :D

Tight stops with no wiggle room requires picking tops or bottoms and then hoping there aren't any pullbacks.

If anything, I was thinking of making my stops even wider.

No place for hope in this business. You got to know your method, all stats related to it. And make your risk as little as possible to make your equity curve optimal.

Ultra-tight stops and "hope" for no pullback (which in reality means, that such a trader knows: it works better for him, than wide stops and sitting through pullbacks), may work great too.
