M15 settings on GOLD Just released! 295% GAIN SINCE MARCH 2020!Hello traders! Just a quick video reviewing our latest settings for GOLD on the M15 timeframe using our strategy.
These results are based on you using a fixed percentage lot size calculation based of an initial capital/starting balance of £500 ! SINCE MARCH 2020!
What is our strategy?
Our strategy is a trend following strategy - that is coded in pine script to use with the trading view platform - the entries are shown automatically! NOTHING is done manually, it can be used on any instrument and time frame. However, we have hard coded specific parameters for when trading the H1 time frame, so we can back up over 4200 previous trades to confirm our edge from previous data. This gives us confidence in execution and belief in our trading strategy for the long term.
The strategy simply sits in your trading view, so you will see exactly what we see - the trade, entry price, SL and multiple TPs (although we hold until opposite trade as this is the most profitable longer term plan), lot size, etc.
This could be on your phone trading view app, or laptop of course.
The hard work is done, so we have zero chart work time, no analysis, no time front of the chart doing technical analysis - technical analysis is very subjective - you may see different things at different times - how do you have a rigid trading plan on a H&S shoulder pattern? Your daily routine, diet, sleep, exercise can affect what you 'see' and your decision making, this doesn't happen when a strategy is coded like this; what we do have is a mechanical trading strategy...
What does this mean?
It means, we are very clear on our entry and our exit and use strict risk management (this is built in - put in your account size, set your risk in % or fixed amount and it will tell you what lot size to trade!) so we have no ego with our position and we are comfortable with all outcomes - its simply just another trade. This free's our mindset from worry and anxiety as we take confidence from knowing our edge is there and also that we have used sensible risk management.
The strategy itself can be used as a live trading journal too!
Strategy!
WHY YOUR WIN RATE IS IRRELEVANT!Afternoon guys! quick video on WIN RATE and why having a higher or lower win rate is IRRELEVANT! Alot of traders out there like to advertise themselves having a 'High win' rate when really it IS irrelevant to how profitable you are as a trader!
in this example we are reviewing ETHUSD.
in the one example we have a win rate of almost 50% but only a net profit of 40%... And then we chnage our TP mode where we then have a WIN RATE of 31% but a net profit of 59%!
Gold strategy M15 Launching today.A brief video explanation outline the push of our Gold strategy based on the M15 time frame.
Strong net profit performance on 70+ trades with sensible small draw down.
In the video I also explain how changing the profit targets affects the net profit and the win rate - as shown.

Controversial - Technical analysis and why it doesn't work.....Hi all,
This is a controversial one for sure...... all I ask is for you to ponder my video and let me know what I think....
Why am I sharing?
I used to trade this way! At the end of Q1 with Covid hitting the world, I kept finding myself on the wrong side of the moves , it got me thinking the money to be made is if I was in the trend - not trying to catch the top of bottom of the move, right? The markets will be irrational more than you are solvent is a fab quote - and is so true.
How many times have you said to yourself? It must go down soon, or it can't keep going up.
I am sure you can relate.
What did I change?
I investigated different strategies and combined them to add more confluence and ensure that I was on the right side of the market move on any big trend. Don't fight the market, be in tune with the market and follow price.
There are sometimes numerous ways to trade the same chart with technical analysis - how can you trade from a strict trading plan with so much subjectivity? How have you successfully back tested your edge with this too? What actually classes as a head and shoulders pattern, might look like one one day and not the next.
I know all of this, I can relate to it all, because it is what I used to do.
I am simply pointing out that our need to be right and find certainty in an uncertain market is not constructive nor helpful.
Let me know if this resonates with you please, or even if you disagree - that's fine too of course, I am simply trying to explain and share my views and my experience to date.
If it helps, great.
Regards
Darren

GBPJPY H4 testing /1000%+ gain data for 1000+ trades since 2007 Hi All
Pleased share some back testing results on the H4 timeframe across some xxxjpy pairs, mainly GBPJPY.
By testing H4 we have access to more data in time, so this video shows testing from 2007 with over 1000+ trades , so a substantial back test in my opinion.
Entry is clear - we just follow the entry on screen
Exit is clear - 3 exit options
- Stop Loss (all of our SL's are dynamic and based from ATR - so we take into account volatility on every trade - you can still risk the same amount!)
- TP3 target based on 1:8 Risk to Reward
or lastly, close and enter on a reverse signal if this happens before the other 2 possible outcomes.

Meet Percy - 'YOUR' new Trading E-Mentor - he's cool......Percy is a great guy... he can be a girl too and you can call him or her whatever you wish. I just chose the name Percy, I think its quirky. :-)
BUT ....
Percy can help you like he helps me - Let me introduce you to him.
He tells me when to enter a trade, when to close a trade, what lot size to use - he helps me stay on track when I feel like closing early (Percy hasn't closed so I shouldn't) he helps me ignore them voices of increasing my risk.
Percy works incredibly hard, he has back tested over 4200 trades to help me identify my edge in the market.
Percy is simply a legend, I trust him, I have confidence in him and I follow his lead.
Get a Percy.

Using the Strategy Tester to Evaluate a StrategyThis video idea explains how to use the strategy tester on TradingView to evaluate the performance of your strategy. We go over all of the data presented for you regarding your strategy, and if we make mistakes along the way you can always check out the TradingView help section that is specifically for the Strategy Tester.
I highlight the overview of your strategy, dive into the details of the performance summary for your strategy, and show how we can review all of our trades including our commission paid.
Finally, we show how changes to the strategy can alter your Strategy Tester results and how accounting for commission(fees) and selective testing windows can alter perceptions on strategies.

Q2 +198% gain, despite a losing month in June on H1 timeframeJune was a challenging month indeed - lots of ranging markets, but a great 198% still for Q2 - including June!
It's important to understand this can happen and no equity curve in trading is a perfect diagonal one! Losing days/weeks or even months can be part of a profitable strategy over a long period of time. Understanding this is vital to overall success and profitability. Lots of traders flick between strategies from week to week or month to month, not sticking with one plan thus then not having consistency.
Treat your trading like a business and accept a losing month should not define your year or your quarter!
Q2 stats below, also we touch on V4 stats below too - to show how we have now factored in a function to help remove a lot of trades from a ranging market - the difference is quite staggering in both the reduced amount of trades, solid gains for Q2 and that June in isolation remained profitable on V4.
All based on £500 account on 1% risk as a baseline for all stats;
Current settings;
Q2 / £991 profit / 817 trades
June / £-129 / 263 trades
V4 settings with trend filter and specific parameters for each pair on H1 timeframe;
Q2 / £852 profit / 332 trades (less than half the current trade volume!)
June / £48 profit / 95 trades - almost a third of the trade volume, thus demonstrating the trend filter working well.
Due to the lower volume of trades, 1% risk is doable, on V3 it was high if taking all trades - thus V4 can provide even stronger % returns on a LFL basis because of this.
Watch out for our V4 video .....

Using the strategy tester to prove WTD performance!Use the strategy tester with our strategy to check the weekly performance, use it also as a trading journal - you simply need to follow it at least!
We can see all of the trades for the week and the profit and loss.
Strong gains this week with a 20% gain risking 1% per trade - even more on some 30 minute entries. A great week, catching big JPY moves in particular. and holding them!
This is NOT just an indicator, its far more than that as you can hopefully see.
These gains do not include the 300+ pip move on Gold or indices, etc.

Darren
Scalping opportunity on the 1m/3m/5m timeframes .....Those that like to scalp or want to learn can using our strategy.
Its very clear to see how to follow price as shown - also our members can test using our strategy tester and hone in on the settings and parameters even further. However, this video is just showing standard settings.
Either follow price or use the labels for SL and TP targets.
Part close at TP2 and leave TP3 until the reverse signal or SL to entry, could work too.
Lots of different ways to manage the position once you are in - even taking 15 pips a time would have worked a treat.
Regards
Darren
