How is the viability of a trade idea determined? - page 9

 
Serqey Nikitin:

Don't be ridiculous...

One losing trade will have no effect on the overall profit, even if it is force majeure...

A competent trader always has several options for closing a position, including the occurrence of force majeure...

The arithmetic is different - any losing trade reduces the total profit, and any profitable trade increases it. Although who knows, a "competent" trader might have it differently.)))

 
Vitaly Muzichenko:

The strategy is break-even, so there is no other plan than to wait for profit!

You're the one who started to cheat when it was pointed out to you.

You are the one who started to cheat...

If you really looked at the reports, you would have seen that every trade has a stop-loss, which is a protection against force majeure...

Even if the stop had been triggered by force majeure, the total profit would have remained in the plus...

But you are not interested in such a strategy... Your task is to find inconsistencies in your reasoning, despite the results...

 
Maxim Kuznetsov:

It is relatively easy to determine the viability of a trading idea in 2 steps:

1. it does not work on an entirely arbitrary chart. That is, it depends on specific instruments, timeframes and the current momentum.
Transferring it to another instrument (or set of instruments) is extremely difficult and close to a fiasco.
Adapting to other timeframes (the favourite one here is the smaller frame, trading more often) is not possible at all.
On a distant history, a fresh idea is unworkable and the robot will "drain" on it

2. If everything is OK with p1, the idea should be published here. By the composition of the haters and interested parties, you can clearly see if the game is worth it :-)

That's a good answer in a nutshell. It's easy to see who's thinking) and the line-up of haters is an interesting idea.
 
khorosh:

Arithmetic says otherwise - any losing trade reduces the overall profit and any profitable trade increases it.)))

Don't twist things around... We were talking about a margin call after one trade...

Whatever you're talking about, be precise, then you'll be understood correctly. The Russian language is rich and powerful).

All this is interesting...

You've identified the bottlenecks of your strategy...

So what prevents you from developing a strategy that takes into account all the points voiced...?

lack of KNOWLEDGE? ... So you have to learn!

If it were only up to me... Here everyone expresses ONLY their "wants", without regard to those around them!

You don't have the knowledge? You need to learn.

You have psychic powers. You know who has and has not developed what.

It's just that you can always see your own shortcomings better than others' mistakes...

I wonder if, purely theoretically, it's realistic to develop a system that can work on an entirely arbitrary graph? Perhaps mathematicians must have an answer to such a question.

Almost all traders try to test systems on quotes that are as accurate as possible. Has anyone has tried to deliberately generate an extremely inconvenient for the system chart and make it hang around zero on it?
