30 sec zoomed out. 1 min PA was much better at the level. Was almost screaming at me that I was correct. (I go from 30 sec/1 min to the next higher TF)
Here's a work in progress. 3 pip stop. ***AT S/R**** I'm short ABOVE S/R with only a 3 pip stop and PA screaming up?
TA fails............ A 3 pip stop ABOVE S/R with PA screaming up most would consider this a gamble. I'll give you a hint. Something else failed before S/R even did.
I forgot. Since this is ET 3 trades in a row are going to get flagged. Here's the list of orders. Assorted by TIME. Last trade at the top is the short which was closed @ B/E. Tried to hold it for a runner. All using 4 pip stops (or less).
Are you referring to compounding then? Compounding signals with a trend? Or are you RTM + compounding? If you have liquidity concerns then there's absolutely no way you're going to use a fixed stop. Is that what you're referring to?
As for quants, history proves, that, unfortunately they often control risk only to a certain degree and are almost naked and unprotected in the face of 4 sigma events. I witnessed such sad cases personally in 2008/9 and those quants were smart, extremely smart, way smarter than I am.
Yup. Probably rip-offs do happen somewhere sometimes, but my personal experience does not confirm the theory that they are any significant factor for a trader's success/failure. If you can trade, you will notice rip-offs very quickly and simply change the broker. And if you can't being or not ripped off doesn't matter anyway.
Yup. Surprisingly the only broker i've noticed questionable trades occur is Interactive Brokers. I've ranted about it on here, but when i'm using 4-5 pip stops on Oanda, it's 4-5 pip stops. However, at IB one of my biggest pet peeves is that 4-5 pips turns into 6-7. Whatever their setup is it needs to be fixed or get rid of their commission structure. I tried stop limits and they get run. Considering the liquidity they're supposed to have it's frustrating.
