I must admit it was funny how you tried in various way to get information about the way I trade. It only confirms that you still have a long way to go in trading. You should try to find a thread with the title: here is the code about my tradingsystem. Take it for free. If you would be a profitable trader you would not be fishing for knowledge. And I did give in this thread some information about the way I trade. The fact that you asked, after I posted about the way I trade, how I traded was the ultimate proof that you didn't even read all postings in this thread. The answer was already there before you asked the question. This shows how ridiculous your statement is about non-disclosure of my trading method. But probably you want a full disclosure. LOL.
After rereading the above I think I found answers to some questions that I had. Since 2014 my performance went up substantially (more than doubled) consistently. I never understood why because I did not change anything to my system nor to my rules. But I think the answer is HFT. I believe in behavioral finance and builded my system on that. With maths I tried to visualize the behavior of the market, but maybe I made a mistake. Maybe the market does not mean the people's behavior, but the behavior of all elements that trigger eventually buy or sell signals. So HFT is also part of my analysis. I first thought that human beings were the only participants. Now I realize that my math does use all data, so also HFT data, that moves the markets. Maybe the HFT helps to trigger more efficiently my signals, resulting in better performance. HFT usual take very small profits so they have no influence at all on my profits, but they might help me by pushing the market in a direction.
Capturing larger than multiple scalps during a trend comes from stronger logic than average. If an HFT algo can detect changes in trend it's no longer HFT in the pure sense. HFT is non-event for algos with this type of advantage. An example of strong logical advantage, in theory rather than specifics (for Q3D who only accepts math!) is a scenario anyone can easily immediately see and also understand why, it's a huge logical edge.
Go to this link. I watch my sons play this trading game the CME built. They role play where one of them is the broker and instructs the other when to buy and sell. What's funny is the good nature fighting it creates with one yelling things like, "I told you to buy not sell!!" http://progressive.powerstream.net/008/00102/edu/trading_simulation_game/start.html
