Do you have any tactics for dealing with the loca? - page 46

 
Ubajal:
Vlad, do you have a trading plan when you trade?


Plan one: follow the signals of my TS, if I don't miss a signal - alas, it happens.

I trade the tactic of "following the market". The TS contains: direction, entry point, signal validity time, initial stop, current stop. The probability is estimated by the ratio of directions of "adjacent trends" - intraday, daily, weekly. Support by a trawl or a reversal by a counter signal - as it appears.

Good luck.

 

The lock is the trader's right to work with 2 strategies at the same time.... If the strategies are profitable, the profit is double... If one strategy is losing and the other is profitable, the loss is reduced or covered by the profit of the second strategy. If one strategy is loss-making and the other is profit-taking, the losses are decreased or covered with the profit of the second strategy.

Just ask yourself the questions: why are there so much talk about locks, why are lots banned, and why with time the concept of a lock will disappear, because a netting system of position accounting will be imposed. Who benefits from it?

When they finally ban lock, the attention of lockophiles will be directed to the hedging tactics with various instruments. Good luck.

 
Tantrik:
Many managers - successful in 20k, among their TC list both locks and martin.... investors don't mind.... how to get out of a drawdown? (the niroba method with the involvement of d.s. is excluded).

For example, I enter not immediately to the whole available side - about 1/3 and building up position, if after the first entry into the market we move to stop (the stop is not shifted and known in advance), or, if we go to an open position without a rollback to the stop - sooner or later, the rollback will anyway, the fill at the end of the rollback in a lower \f. Again, taking into account the current stop in the working ref.

Good luck.

If one strategy is losing and the other is profitable, the loss is reduced or covered by the profit of the second strategy. Both strategies cannot be losing at the same time, the order of trend reversal should be observed.

When they finally ban lock, the gaze of lockophiles will be directed to the hedging tactics for different instruments. Good luck.

This right will not be taken away. You may work with any number of strategies - but before you set your positions, let them calculate them.

And the prohibition of Loks is, IMHO, good primarily for traders. Those who understand that the lock does not give an advantage - it does not matter: it does not affect the result, and those who do not understand - less unreasonable expectations.

Good luck.

 
VladislavVG:

What you still don't understand is that it was explained (and with the help of the same mathematics) to lock lovers (locophiles) that the so-called "loco collapse" is just trading. With the same mathematics it has been shown that taking a loss and continuing to trade is more profitable by the amount of swaps. But to understand it you should at least know arithmetic and know how to use a calculator. And there is no need to "moan" on the forums - it is sufficient to bring the logic of position placing to "netting": that is, the position placing must not only take into account the system signals, but also relate them to the already open positions.

As we repeated 100 times: if you like lots - use them, just do not argue that the lock is a trading tool, or that the lock provides benefits (other than psychological, and even that for some types of traders) - because this statement is incorrect.

Good luck.


It does. The whole question is in comparison to what.
 
kharko:

Lock is a trader's right to work with 2 strategies simultaneously....

You are right here. And it is no longer a lock (in the sense implied here).

And on a netting platform you only have to have two accounts for all strategies: one for long and one for short positions

 
So what about a PAMM account? or is lock such a sin... so are you speculators? or investors....

Right... You got it right... 2 accounts, double the amount. Who benefits?
 
Tantrik:

What about it?

Again 25: if trading advantages other than psychological comfort of the trader are implied, a calculator in a studio, otherwise it is idle rubbish: in a nearby thread I recalculated one such statement and sent one of the apologists to "think".

If it's psychological comfort, it's subjective. I mean, some people get it and some people get it.

Good luck.
