The second sacred cow: "Grow profits, cut losses" - page 7

 

If you follow this principle, you can get the following results:

Longs on EUR/USD in the area 2008.07.01 00:00 - 2010.09.03. MO-45.

Pyramiding is applied.

And in 2006-2007 sliff?
 
I've never met a profitable trend-following Expert Advisor before. But I have created about 5 flattened scalpers myself. And the last one is still earning on the market as it is now. Stooploss is sufficiently large. (for my risks - up to 50% of the deposit) And such an SL and MM is considered suicidal for a "guru" of Forex. So there are no sacred cows. With the advent of the Internet the cows that rule are fast and small.

As long as I am interested in Forex, I have not met a profitable trend expert.

An interesting fellow wrote an article here: http://pratrader.livejournal.com/176779.html

And he revealed at least one grail there - just in relation to trends. The catch is that a trend: a) is not always appears with sufficient force; b) is able to be squeezed; c) (grail! :) ) it can be measured.

No, but not a fountain either. The losing sectors correspond to long-term bearish trends (on these trends the shorts prevail, but I'm not testing both at the same time, because the TS giving the best results for longs compared to other TS, respectively, should give better results for shorts, though not always).
The Expert Advisor is trendy, 2006-7 are bullish, so longs should in principle bring profit to any TS in this area.

This advisor has an equity level involved in generating a signal to close positions, which is bad, and there are more profitable methods, I've been looking through the options for a month now.

In the previous post I showed the model I am striving for, which is exactly how an EA should drain: smoothly and gently, and take everything from the trend! Although I used to think this model was ideal, as well as the longs of 99-2010

I will not speculate on my own opinion.

The main question is this: where in life did this sacred platitude come from? A simple analysis of the reasons for this harsh truth can lead to unexpected conclusions.


In my opinion, this is one of the tactics of trend-following. The more points of profit, the bigger the allowable pullback. For example in Dserg's "Pivot Swap".
 

And this guy doesn't think about closing :) by the 6 figure account, we understand that the account is real. Greed as a vice? or is it really meant to be?

Why "greed"? Why "vice"? He has a stop set, goes 'wrong', everything closes.
