There is no Holy Grail. Holy Grail is by definition a 100% profitable system for ever.

There are only systems that work well for some time before they turn unprofitable.

All systems will turn uprofitable for an extended period of time due to the laws of probability.

A good system is one that does not turn unprofitable during your trading career for a period of time long enough to force you out of the market.

Being realistic and practical in dealing with the markets is as close to the Holy Grail as possible.
 
There is one Holy Grail is the doubling up betting, until the winning.


It is need infinite amount of cash if the luck goes against you for a long period.

LOL NO the true definition of Holy Grail is the dish, plate, or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper.
 
Only the system that you could manipulate the market with..

Quote from OddTrader:

Say developing a trading holy grail is your goal.

So what exactly is a holy grail for trading, in terms of its characteristics/ features?

Many would say a holy grail doesn't mean it wins every trade for all trades.

Then how do you define your holy grail? Thanks.
:) :D
