The question is, can’t we take advantage from it?

Sure we can, as long as we are correct about predecting that the market will stay in that range while our trade is open. My point is, that this is not ‘market-neutral’, like claimed by some authors. If price leaves the range and starts to trend, we loose.

Now think about using two equal sized o…

Once I’ve thought that hedging would be the solution for everything. … That would work fine for some time. But in the long run the market will reach an extreme state …

That’s the point: relying on hedged grids consisting either of limit or stop orders, is a pseudo-strategy heading straight for the annihilation of the account. If your entry s…[Read more]

To hedge or not to hedge?

Before addressing R:R, like announced in my earlier post, let me come back to expectancy with another link. Hanover @ FF put together some conclusions on the ‘area of tension’ between expectancy and possible attempts to increase it by MM / TM methods here:

Your position handling and trade management will only influence your results if you overcome the 0.5 threshold (you make more than wins than losses).

Absolutely correct! Trade management and money management will not turn a losing strategy in a winning one, on the long run. If the expectancy of your pure entry and exit strategy is below 0.5, you…[Read more]

Side note, sorry if it is slightly of course but hedging for me is the answer to SL, material for another video

Good point! The old discussion: why hedging if you could also exit your original trade and re-enter it later, when you would close your hedge?

Talking about EAs: when looking at hedged trades from a system developer’s perspective, which…[Read more]

New levels for EUR/USD. Made today. Should be very accurate. (More accurate then before tbh) Last time I used only one TF. I admit I have still mess in TF’s. :'( Need to fix it somehow ASAP.

I’d like to come back to Ron Black’s CLEAR Method indicator much discussed here as well as in the main thread. Recently I stumbled upon a video showing an interesting approach to utilize CLEAR in a more sophisticated way than proposed here before.

Note: that YouTube video is posted by a company, linking to their commercial website. Please don’t…[Read more]

Ok guys, here are some support resistance lines. I will explain later, after some move. Btw vertical lines means place where price should reverse. But it works only if market is not in trend. We need good sideway moves. :) Ah, S/R lines should be traded on tick charts (or 1 minute at least). This way you can eliminate wrong sup/res. I have no…[Read more]

anyone have time to fix my old extremely poor attempt at copy and pasting code to draw a line from a market inefficiency until it hits price in the future?

I believe that there is no such thing as an ‘optimal setting’ for a Stoch indicator. After you’ve identified ‘your’ optimal setting for the moment, be sure it has changed a few bars ago or is changing now or will change during the next following bars. Market is too fast for such an approach.

What smallcat described is the typical Stoch ambiguity.…[Read more]
