  3. Wait ! Are you really doing anti-martingale ?
    "Anti-martingale strategy is to double the trade size on winning trades and halve the size on losing trades."
    What is your exact logic for changing the bet size ?

    Right, prolly anti-m....

    I only add to winners...

    eg trade 1 = 400shares, if it keeps going up I double to 800 shares, if it keeps going I add 400-500 more, til it stalls, 1 or 2 red candles and I tighten trail stops to within .05 to book profits..

    And if I was doing that with inverse like SQQQ, I then immediately enter buy-stop .2 above market for TQQQ, its opposite, to catch the reversal using pair trade

  5. I guess I do the opposite of u. I will start out small. If I got a loser. I double or triple my size going the other way against me.

    Trend following idiot here. I believe Ed Seykota said that. Count me in that group. Simple strategies are better. Complicated ones will trip you up and cause you to make huge mistakes at the wrong time.

    Cross-hedged. But also quant models and VWAP. I always make sure to know what the yield curve is doing. The rates market is the most important thing to know.
