Quote from Trader28Lite:
Not hard to pick the only trader that didn't make money today
You're right about that, the world's full of them - got all the answers (they think) but ain't got no money and can't stand the thought of anyone else making money.
Your method is an ace T28. It is simple and profitable just like it says on the tin.
I found your thread last month and read through it (well most of it, the Hersh interlude was tough going) and paper traded for a few days before & after Xmas. Even on those quiet days I could see the potential.
Although many on here have made suggestions for tweaking it and adding to it etc I decided to use it in its basic format from 2nd Jan. and I am in profit to an extent that I will be using your system on a daily basis from now on. It has to be repeated that Discretion is the key to using it profitably and being very aware of the price action going on. For me anticipation has also played a big part, I have found if you wait for solid crossover signals all the time then you miss some of the best and most profitable moves. Obviously increases the risk but this is trading.
Although I have been using it on the ER I am in the UK and have found it works well on the FTSE & Dax. No doubt it will work on many other markets as well.
As someone said earlier it is not going to suit everyone and certainly not the doubters who I believe lack confidence in themselves rather than any system or method. As for the discussion about back-testing forget it, this would be impossible in order to achieve any accurate tabulated results. The people so keen to back test it should try using it either trading for pennies or with a dummy account, that is the only way they will find out if it is for them, that is if they are serious about finding something that will make them some money.
So in conclusion T28 a huge thanks to you for introducing your method to us on here and for the time you have so generously given. Much appreciated.
