it depends on your time frame. I can have 10 trades in a row or more with a profit. But could you do it for longer ? I am just kidding. 100% successful does not exist. If you really mean your question, then you are looking for the 'holy grail'. It does not exist. neo
exce26 - what is your definition of 100 % successful strategy ? If your goal is to make a 3 % return annually, your strategy may be successful. Many bank customers in Japan would be pleased with such a return on investment.
Exec26: â100% Sucessful strategy! Is there such a thing?â Absolutely! I havenât made a bad trade in the last 7 years. You see, from out here on Marsâ¦.
they say, everyday we spend above is 100% successful, instead of being below or flat on the day. funny how life, trading and similar terminology equivocate in meaning. being 100% successful in trading is what we all are when we look back or when we're dreaming, but certainly not when we're awake. But then, there's is a way to be 100% successful, just broaden the basis for consideration toward success, make sure its broad enough to drive a 777 through it without touching the wings on the walls, and, hey.
Let success be defined by "net profits after commissions". Given the above definition, I am perhaps a) 60-70% successful on a daily basis i.e. most of my days are profitable b) 70%+ profitable on a weekly basis i.e. most of my weeks are profitable c) 80%+ profitable on a monthly basis i.e most of my months are profitable d) 100% successful on a yearly basis i.e. all of my years to date have been profitable So, depending on the timeframe, 100% success is feasible.
Well think about this.....?? If a system was 100% profitable /guaranteed would a market maker, specialist want to take the other side. Since they would be forced to take the other side he would just take the other side at a price that would allow them to have some leverage for them making a profit thus making your 100% no longer valid. rtharp
