Quote from NihabaAshi:
T-REX or anybody,
Since the start of this journal...
based on the trades that have been posted in the journal so far...
what's the Profit/(Loss) so far...including any open positions?
To T-REX specifically,
Via this methodology your using...
what's your biggest drawdown period (amount)?
I haven't read everything in this journal and was wondering if anybody has been keeping a tally.
I do realize this is not a teaching journal and I do realize this journal is all about trying to prove something...
so far...within this journal...
what has been proven so far?
P.S. These are serious questions...constructive answers only please.
NihabaAshi
Thanks for asking
but none of that matters heres why.
Let's say that I told you that my max drawdown was $2.500.00.
and let's say I told you that my win% is 93%?
Guess what?
I lied I lied I lied I lied.....!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to disappoint you.
Depending on what variables you use Monthly, Weekly, Daily bars my winning was 187%.!!!!!! on Daily bars!!!!
Now A word on Backtesting.
We all know about the hypothetical BS clause on trading systems right? Well it doesnt matter what you claim about your system. It only matters what you can prove in realtime trading/posting.
I know that this does not answer your question but Im trying to disclose as much as I can in realtime rather than claiming outlandish unproven results.
I know, I know what about the 93% boasting?????
I had to start somewhere. Even if to you that % seems high to me it is half of what the system generated on backtested results.
I know that opens up a whole can of worms and we could take up thousands of pages in a lengthy debate on the topic of curve fitting and over optimization but that is not the purpose of my journa. The best way to answer your question is to simply follow along and you be the judge of the results.
Its only been 4 days. (not even a full trading week)
Be honest. If I'd won on every trade this week would this journal be full of: "WOW" your the best! Where can I learn to do that?
I dont think so. To the unbelievers it doesnt matter what I post here in "Realtime"! It doesnt matter that I may have the uncanny ability to correctly forecast price movement. they will still be skeptical and find a reason to doupt.
Therefore, Im not here to please people. Im here to say look at these realtime market calls!
........and that's the best I can do.
