    nkhoi, conventional wisdom has taken more money than I care to count, lol.

    I guess that was my lame attempt to tell Flashboy just about any entry method can be made profitable with proper money management.

    I trade many systems and most have Win/Loss exceeding 80%. That MA Xover was the lowest on the totem pole. However, your correct, they all have one common characteristic, the STOP is greater than the Target.

    :confused:


    money management will NEVER turn a losing (entry) method into a winning method. never. not in a million years.

    do you mean one of the other managements?

    trade, risk, and often the most important - self????

    Hi Flash,

    It is hard to evaluate the entries out of context. Trading is a bit like a balanced meal. An appetizer need to be balanced with the salad, wine, soup, entree etc.

    If you were waiting for scalp or a breakout or whatever, the entry and exit are designed to minimize the risk, reap the reward, IN THAT SITUATION.

    So besides the larger picture comments, I would not think that you will get much of a usuable response.

    Garbage in - garbage out.

    Cheers
