Yes, 100% that after the flat there will be a trend. There is nothing to predict.

Well sort of yes, the question is when and how much, and in general there is not even uniqueness how to form targets for learning to recognize a trend and a flat

Renat Akhtyamov:

aaaa

If there are no ticks, it seems that the market is flat, 100%.

If there are a lot of ticks, then it is not a flat

No, the volumes and moreover the density of ticks are not linearly connected with the probability of trend<->fleet, more volatile areas may seem to be locally trending, but in fact they are not.

You don't need MO for that. It's just done by regular indicators.

 

I accidentally came across an investment company where NS trades. Judging by the description - self-learning neuronet.

Here is a printout of December trading on 6 instruments https://ita-lab.ru/sites/default/files/dekabr.pdf

You can see that they are trading on M1. There are 3500 trades per month, about 150 per day.

TP and SL are not fixed as they are always closed with different pips. Options of closing - either MM or if the direction from the new forecast does not coincide.

I have counted 86 losing trades for the first 200 trades, i.e. 43% mistake in determining the direction.

As a result, we can say that even with 43% error we can work to beat the spread and stay in the black.

 
Yuriy Asaulenko:

You don't need an MO to do this. This is simply done by ordinary indicators.

Perhaps you misunderstood what I'm talking about, I'm talking about predicting market conditions, trendy or flat, indicators cannot do it, in some places it may seem to be true, in some places not, but on average - random and pareidolia. The target is of course done by the "indicator", but it is also not a trivial task, what exactly and why, what "by eye" seems to be a correct indicator for this purpose is not the fact that the best option.


PS: In general in the market "just" does not happen, when it seems that "just" is a bad sign, or yourself... Or someone wants...

When you are dealing with bees, you can't tell anything in advance. (c) Nothing can be predicted in the market.) Decisions can only be made in the process (i.e. your trend or flat should have already started, the process should go), but even in this case the decision will be probabilistic.

Yes, it's simple, you see with your indicators the beginning of a trend or a flat. Whether this condition will continue or not is another question.) And it's more a question of statistics than prediction.

Well, the question is how persistent is the state of a trend/flit, how much less it "wobbles" compared to predicting the direction, it seems to me very noisy with it but I'm not sure I mark the right target for such predictions.

And if you don't wise up and look at the trend from the higher timeframe as the body of the candle, and the flat as its absence, it becomes clear that his forecast is essentially the same as the direction forecast.

And if not to be wise and look at the trend from the higher timeframe as the body of the candle, and the flat as its absence, it becomes clear that its prediction is essentially the same as the prediction of the direction.

Well, that's why it also sucks as a direction, I said that we are not talking about any "90%"

There's a report for less than a month

Even a year or two is not convincing either.

With a satisfactory test of 10 years or more, you can go to the real

It is not possible, but necessary.

I wrote somewhere the other day that the system's zero return should be no more than 30-40% of successful trades. Otherwise the system is good for nothing.

Here, I found it.)

From Theory to Practice

I should use statistics. And the system should be such, that at 30-40% of successful trades it would be in profit at zero, and better in profit). On this basis, and the system should be designed, and not from a flashlight to draw averages and dispersions).

Actually, it is better to close not on fixed TP and SL, but on the analysis of the situation on the market and in the trade.
