@PeterLBrandt Hello, Peter.
What should the Squid indicator be, for example, per 100 trades? I have 1,000 tested trades.

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@CoachDBA Thank you for your transparency. Could you please tell me if you trade using a mechanical or discretionary model?

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 And all years from 2015 to 2020 were unprofitable, perhaps market cycles have changed somehow. Is it worth considering such a strategy if it was unprofitable until 2020, but profitable for the last five years?

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 Hi Yumi, I have a sample of 1,216 trades over the last 5 years, with a maximum drawdown of 10R.
But if I take the last 10 years, where the sample is 2,120, the maximum drawdown is 50R.

@samuraipips358 Hi, Yumi, if I tested a strategy on 1000 trades over 5 years and after one year the strategy shows a breakeven, but plus the commission and spreads make it unprofitable, what should I do in this case?

@samuraipips358 @GhostYami7 Yumi, can you please tell me if a strategy can be based on logic and multiple variations, but with strict risk management?

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 Yumi, hello, do you calculate your stop based on ADR or do you have some kind of pips limits?

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 Thank you very much for the detailed response, Yumi. I would really like to see your results over a quarter or a year, so that people can see how you deal with drawdowns and what real trading actually looks like.

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 The sample size is 300 trades with a fixed 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio. The results were obtained through backtesting using a replay program.

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 I spent three months testing a mechanical strategy, and in its third year it shows very high variance and a losing streak of around 20 trades in a row, with 1R risk and 3R reward.

Do you think it’s worth sticking with this strategy, or should I try to find another edge?

[Karim Levinsky @lev76331]

@samuraipips358 Hi Yumi, I’ve been reading your posts for quite a while and I’ve read your book on probabilistic thinking. Right now I’m facing some difficulties and I’d like your help.
