Futures Bsd

If i recall isn't your strategy based on like a 20% win rate ?

 

Nope, I wouldn't trade a method with a 20% win ratio.

All the strategies I research have at least a
75%+ on backtested

after human errors, that becomes a 50% or so
after commissions and dumbness, that probably becomes a 30%

but risk reward is usually at least 1:10 - 1:20

So it works ok.

 

How do you deal with the emotional aspect of losing 70% of the time even though it is net profitable ?

 

Simple

For a 10 lot size

When I win , its like $2k-3k
when I lose its like $200 or breakeven

so pretty much I'm waiting for the next windfall while treading water.

 

one idea:


There are no guarantees in direction/points in directional trading.


Sometimes you breakeven,
Sometmes you are damn lucky espically when you are in the money!!!

But EVERYTIME the trader should keep his losts small.

 

Good trading is so boring.

Good thing I got the TV and the discovery channel!
