MACD is bullish on 30, so staying Long, even though profit looks tidy on this one already. This is a very basic system of just following sentiment on 30 minute chart, no other filters being used.

How is it possible that you are ahead with so many losing trades being taken. Is there some magic or sleight of hand occurring?

 

Well, it's a mystery to me too, pure coincidence paired with incredible luck!
