Strategy based on the "ZigZag" indicator - "Last ZZ50" - page 6

 
Vitaly Muzichenko:

It's supposed to work without much slippage, but it's extremely difficult to detect at the moment because there are so many of them, and it's hard to see)

Actually drawdown is possible 😄- I did on history, so there will be more talk about that
 
Just a question: how do you trailing? Are you trailing the current price minus the step (for a Buy) from the very beginning, or are you waiting for the profit to be "0" minimum and then subtracting a step from the current price, or are you waiting for the position to gain the minimum number of points of profit and then moving it to the breakeven point?
 
Vladimir Karputov:
If I wanted to ask a question straight away: how do I traill on - the current price minus a step from the start (for a Buy) or do I wait till the profit is "0" minimum and then take a step off the current price or wait till position has minimal profit and then transfer it to breakeven?

Probably standard, step and start in pips, but grid, if there is a grid, then trawl all together, if only one in the market - only one

Added: Only trawl profits

I don't understand, what is "standard"?

What is "trawling All together"?

Vladimir, was I able to convey the principle of the trawl in the video, or is there anything else you need to add to the story?

Strategy based on "ZigZag" indicator - "Last ZZ50"

Immediately a question: how to do trailing -

  1. at the very beginning - the current price minus a step (for Buy)
  2. or wait till the profit becomes minimum "0" and then subtract a step from the current price
  3. or wait until the position gains the minimum profit and then transfer it to breakeven?

?

Answer #3, but

If there is a grid, then from the break-even level of the whole grida minimum number of pips profit, and move the trawl. It will often turn out that one position can be closed with a minus, because the whole grid is in the plus and the last one is in the minus, but it is small.

Vladimir, have I answered comprehensively, or are there more questions?
