What's your longest winning streak?

  1. Today I completed my 19th consecutive profitable trade.
    I know maybe it's not relevant, but it's interesting.

  2. Stay humble, it’s quirky but when you publicize it, soon after your streak ends. I stopped counting.

    It can be very relevant, depending on various other parameters you didn't mention, such as R:R, trading frequency, etc. (R:R is perhaps the big one, though ... systems with 95% win-rates can fail to be profitable, for example if that "unlucky" 1 trade in 20 wipes out all the profits and more. MAE is pretty relevant, too. Just saying...).

  4. My average win-rate is 62% in 513 trades this year, I do not expect such long streaks, I find it only curious.

    19 in a row on 62% win rate? That's an improbable event before about 9k trades.

    Huh, I just never look any more at that, just kept tabs on losing streaks/drawdown intra-day. For me, don't think it is healthy to think about that, I might then start believing I could do no wrong.

    Largest profit versus largest loss during the winning streak ?

    19 trades during what length (time span) ?

    How many of the 19 trades were strictly via your trading plan or how many during that streak were outside of your trading plan ?

    Automated trader ?

    I'm just curious.

  8. Shhh..don't put a kibosh on it

     
  9. exactly, usually the streak is 3 or 4 to 6 max
     
  10. Is not automated, daytrades using 1-5 min time frames executed in last 6 trading days.

    I believe that all the trades follow my trading plan, but I am still developing it.
