Re: Minifty Trading
Do you know the principle of people make 80% of the profits in 20% of the trades. These are called big winners. its not the % wins matters, its the big winners matter. You may get 400 points in one single trade and lose 20 points in 5 trades. This is how trading will be. And yeah why will i get only 40-50 points in the 400 points trade? i tested this manually, i know where to keep the SL, i have even considered first half an hour of the morning session, even that dint hit the SL for the 400+ trade. I haven been in trading for quite a while, i have taken care of such small things...
Anyway lets see real time, how much i ll make in the next coming months.
Distribution is totally skewed. The trades where you see yourself making 100 to 400 points, most will be cut off when trading in real time around 30 to 50 points. Also, the loss per trade, is all over the place from 1 point to 70 points. If you remove 2 or 3 big winners, the avg profit will be less than the avg loss.
I am justa small time trader, so take my comments accordingly. I dont know anything about backtesting.
