Yuriy Asaulenko:

When you work with your hands, you don't need indicators. Well, unless you draw the MA for ease of perception.

But there is no way an automaton without indicators. It needs the information in a digestible form.


Automatic or manual - it depends on the lot. If you have 1000 points of free range, you can go weeks without looking into the terminal. I'd rather trade by hand, especially when I'm breaking all the rules.

 
Dmitry Belov:

Automatic or manual - it depends on the lot. With a 1000 pips free float you can go weeks without looking at the terminal. I'd be much more comfortable using my hands, especially when I'm breaking all the rules of mm.

MM in books - that's bullshit. I always work at 100% of my depo. I do not have too much money in my account, only what I have to work with.

 
Yuriy Asaulenko:

........ I always work at 100% deposit...


How does it work?

 
I think you should never keep extra money in your account, you will lose it sooner or later:

MM in the books is complete nonsense. I always work at 100% of the deposit. In my opinion, there's no need to keep extra money in the deposit, only what you need to work.


I don't think it's a good idea to keep extra money in the account, I think you should keep only what you need for your work.

 
Alexander Ivanov:

Sooner or later you will lose your deposit.

Well, if the value of the deposit is strictly designed for only one transaction, then it's okay. Instead of stoploss - stop out.
 
khorosh:
Well, if the deposit size is strictly calculated for only one trade, then it's OK. Instead of stoploss - stop out.

10 stops in a row will eat the deposit to zero.

 

a deposit reserve is mandatory.

Otherwise it is already a casino or a point.

 

I used to lose money because of the high risks - I wanted to snatch and reap.

Now I only trade steadily with a good reserve.

 
Alexander Ivanov:

10 stops in a row will eat the deposit to zero.

If he has a deposit designed strictly for one transaction, then 10 stops will gobble up 10 deposits, not one, you need to know the arithmetic). You, in the event of extraordinary circumstances, loss of communication, power outage (if the Expert Advisor is not on UPF) can burn the entire deposit, along with its reserves. And he will have only one losing trade and the loss will be equal to the walrus needed for one trade.
 
Dmitry Belov:

Five days a week is too much, of course, I worked so much in the office in my time)) What for you need all this trading then, if you have to work even harder than in the office) but two or three days a week is quite possible and necessary! ))

) Indicator strategies yes, but I don't use indices. Impulse, correction, level - they don't change)

Dmitry, you forgot an important thing to say, you don't set stop losses. I looked at your signals. A solid growth of 106% in 3 months. The drawdown is more than 37%, but it will do. The Sharpe Ratio = 1.33 is very good (mine is worse). I would admire you even more, but you do not put stop losses! (Neither do I).
