Hey amigos, This is my journal. Only my trades are allowed in this journal, sorry. Expected probability is around 20%. Payout is around 500% the wager. Risk per trade is 4% of account. Weapon of choice is ES. Only real-time calls for entry. Stops and targets will be set, when hit trade will be closed automatically. The end.
It is tempting to cover here, but as it's low probability I have to hold for 20% reward (x5 the risk).
How far back you back test? I never thought it made sense at all of basing reward to risk, cause charts will at times tell me to get out early.
I am discretionary, setups I don't like I ignore. Since it's not a mechanical process I tend to 'fronttest'. It works out, eventually.
