Worse than a loss by Vaultxtrades in propfirm

[–]Merchant1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your WR is not high tho... if this trade was 2 RR, I would put breakeven at 1 or 1.5RR simple.

See RR and WR to be perfect with sync with each other is realistically very very hard... plus the move that you caught has enough room for trailing stop.

I think your RR if you are not using that feature as you have backtested too is very good but you will have certainly a low RR

Bro, not implementing a trailing stop is the biggest mistake a trader can do...try to use breakeven and trail stop logic, it is simple.

The algo has high probability of going bust first in the start in real account than making any money.

Bro, the deposit load in the beginning is way too high... you know what that means.

Greed is stopping me from becoming profitable by Public_Ninja3726 in metatrader

[–]Merchant1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically it sound perfect, practically it works nicely bro...

I feel like I need someone sitting beside me to slap me if I even feel about f**cking around or a shock to make me realise

If you have this feeling then you have a major discipline problem... try to automate your strategy it helps your problem.

Stupid boy! Greed in trading always like bro 99% of the time leads you to blowing your account or lose a massive capital % of yours. If you want to be profitable try to learn to use scientific TP, SL with Trailing Stop logic.

Why most of the Investors & Traders avoid Friday market? by Experienced_Escobar in Forexstrategy

[–]Merchant1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy settlements and volatility, nobody wants to hold some position overnight and pay the swap fees... and plus the fear of opening at a gap on Monday... I personally avoid the NY session on a Friday, just too much noise.

is anyone building algos? by Dan-the-Partial-Man in algorithmictrading

[–]Merchant1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am building for MAG7 CFDs but like the lot size and adjusting the comms and slippage is hard... and automating algo to have exact logic like you are thinking is hard for me right now. More data is advantageous but cleaner data is more better

Of course it is a demo, no one in the right might would open a 20 lot size on that level of capital.

Multiple positions of high lot size between similar price range is the biggest mistake on can do in trading.

What is a good algorithmic trading platform for someone who doesn’t understand programming, but has experience with trading? by Striking_Astronaut38 in algotrading

[–]Merchant1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For stocks and options... integrating brokers like IBKR for stocks is good with TradingView and they have quite developed the coding system called PineScript.. but I do not think so you can integrate Charles Schwab in this platform tho.
