One major issue with Backtesting results is: what appears to be a perfectly pleasant bar in hindsight...Severely menaced your position during the trade.
first day trading without live bid/ask lines on the chart. Bars only. i've stopped displaying P/L when live also but will display position size/direction, (i've accidentally added size when i meant to cover in a fast market in the past...cant nerd out like that again). So essentially what i've done is create a series of playbooks with detailed notes while backtesting...like a coaches playbook of sorts...and walk myself through play by play with strong references when live. also taking something @Last said in a different thread, i have noticed that my loss rate increases around NY lunch and very much considering ending my day @ NYC 11:30 instead of usual 14:00 NYC.
10min. 15 was too slow allowed entry to be menaced too often 5 was erratic like a jacked off squirrel 10 was Goldilocks - just right.
Here's a trade I see happened on 10 min OHLC chart earlier (not timeframe or bar type I prefer) with entry, as I've said recently on many topics, close above the -low close bar's- high and a simple trailing stop triggered by a close below prior bar's low. Close below, not trade below.
I had 1 contract 65-68 put rolling every three business day. Sometime I just forgot the front month is actually a month prior.
