you are right. but can you tell me what is your exit strategy for your system or any other system. in this thread you didnt mention any planned exit strategy. (if i missed any plz tell).
basically my points was-
1. when you are trading live with moving average systems you cant tell whether next 10 candle go no where but give you 5-10 points loss with rmoving averages showing trade is right, direction are good. as 4xpipcounter said "that is why, essentially, crossovers do not work.They have no way of telling you when the market is about to whipsaw."
please suggest some indicators or any strategy to avoid whipsaw.
2.and about exit. why exit is so important for me at least b/c it is not only imp for booking profit from trade or save your capital from bad trade but also if you dont exit you will NOT or CANT enter again as per AVERAGE crossover system. and may be you miss entry or sometimes half of very good momentum, while last trade ended up some profit or no profit or bitter one i.e. loss.
plz dont mind i am not saying your system or every crossover system or anybody's system is bad. i am just telling what i found while trading or testing. may be ur system is good, i am just curious how it is working in these times, how you are tackling these situations with this sytem?
what i said all applies for day trading or intraday. but in intraday it is more problematic.
secondly as i have read everywhere, in this forum also system should have rules or triggers or at least systematic guidelines, so while trading you will not get confuse and there will be no space for guessing. otherwise it is not a proper system.
i appreciate everybody's effort here :thumb:. i will be really obliged if anybody can explain these things or will give some solution either for crossover or anything.
attaching chart to explain using 1st post strategy. if anything wrong plz tell.
