Strategy with one input. Yes, this will illicit negative comments as the sample size is small, but I know the method has withstood the test of time (centuries). Time to forward test.
Closed out long on Friday for +400 (I averaged in and then got stopped out of 1 contract so I closed them both).... -900 today doing day trades. @ 19.7k No more day-trades for me... too stressful, time consuming, random and difficult. 1 contract trend following (with fixed risk, 1 contract per 10k equity) ONLY from now on! :eek:
-1009 trying to call a top. I had a trendline break, but I should have waited for more evidence the trend had changed. Short term Averages still up. I should have bought the pullback into a short term MA. Oh well, there's always next time @ 18.7k
-700 last Friday Sitting at 17.9k right now Not breaking rules, set ups just not working out. I've been working on some indicators to help me enter higher probability setups, looking at price, momentum and trade size.
Can't make a winning trade to save my life... sheesh.. and I'm following all my rules. Draw-downs will occur if market doesn't trend. Key is survivability! :/ @ 15.7k
