The Holy Grail of Trading

[CassianRavenscroft]

Is there really a holy grail in trading? I mean, a system that guarantees consistent profits—not necessarily high, but extremely consistent. Does such a holy grail exist? I'm a developer, and what aspects do you think constitute a trading holy grail? Can trading across multiple instruments achieve this holy grail?

[Eleni Anna Branou]

There is no holy grail, because nothing can predict the unpredictable.

[Ioannis Christopoulos]

In my opinion, a “holy grail” in Forex trading ,

MUST satisfy 3 specific conditions.

1. UNIVERSAL APPLICATION

✔ Works on ALL currencies

✔ Works on ALL timeframes

2. BACKTEST FULL HISTORICAL DATA

✔ Backtest on ALL available historical data

✔ Survives crises, high volatility, bearish and trending markets

3. BACKTEST – LIVE COINCIDENT

✔ The behavior of Live trades should align with the Backtest

✔ Sufficient number of Live trades for statistical reliability
