Tell me about stop and reverse strategies

u can't calculate this with one day worth of trades ...it is meaningless
u need big enough sample size ...
may be take all trades in last 6 months

calculate the number of winners and loosers and thus find the winner percetage
and then calculate avreage winner = summation of winner /number of winners
and similarly average looser and then find the ratio
and use the calculation as shown in my previous post to calculate the expectancy

No fancy stuff very simple calculation.

you can calculate same thing with different 6 months period and compare the numbers it should be similar if you are following a consistent strategy

For more meaningless trades of mine skip over to the thread on having a written plan

think of it, if you can take some of the losses away and turn them into breakeven or +1 ticks ... you don't need to concentrate on winning.

Eight years ago I abandoned win rates for loss rates and I will never turn back, my trading has improved cause I can do size.

Hmmm, i do like this line of thinking. I will see if i can somewhat replicate it. Makes sense to me.

Parabolic SAR is slow on the entry and slow on the exit. I don't use stop and reverse but if I did, it would likely be for range trading, otherwise you are in the trend top and bottom picking biz...tough way to go. And what may appear to be a top or bottom is more likely to be some form of consolidation correction.
