ES/ 1 Point Target, no stops

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by oldtime, Dec 8, 2012.

  1. at anyrate, it is almost universally accepted that the above strategy will be a long time serious loser

    so wouldn't doing the exact opposite be a long time winner?

    1 point stops
    no target

  2. So when would you exit? Only when it goes to your stop?

  3. you should have it so bad

    the only problem is when to take a profit that is so large, if it was a loss, it would wipe you out

  4. or do you believe the stop will always be hit?

  5. 100% failure rate?

    if so, you might as well trade the 1 point target, no stop, strategy

  8. If you randomly pick a price point in the past and put in a trade with 1 point stops, inline with the liner regression trend (multiyear) at the periphery of ATR. How many trades would stop out and how the one that didnt stop out, would it pay for previous stop out plus more?

    :)

    thats what the OP is getting at.

    Trying to do this will teach you how to trade...

    - trade volatile market
    - trade at outside ATR's
    - trade with the trend
    - small losses, large gain (by a factor of 10).


    ---- this is the holy grail.

  10. Looks like the oldtimer has figured out how to beat the market at its own game.

    Bravo! First real working method in a long time on elite. No doji or mr Hershey magic powers required.

    Surf :)
