Hi I have made a strategy based on some training I have been doing myself for almost 2 years part time.

I would like to know if anyone thinks it is ok and any changes I should make.

It is based on confluence eg support level and daily Pivot point and fib level all in the same place.

I have pictures of some trade setups I have taken before and after if required.

Ok I will post some results this week. I only have a week and a bit due to just starting testing it. I did right all the strategy my self but I took the idea from a trade room I was in it is similar to there strategy. I am not in there trade room now and have been doing my own set ups I just need to look through them and put them in order. The trade room was good link to there week review below you tube they do not have sound for most of it but if you want to look at there other posts they are good. They have had a few 1000 point trades this year.

A good time to consider how to measure and record outcomes. There are a number of ways to do this. I like to record the win rate of winners verses losers and the risk reward ratio.

 

So for win rate you will have a percentage of winners.

The risk is the size of the initial stop loss.

The reward is size of the gain (or loss) on exit.

The ratio is the paired down sum so risk is 1 :  to reward.

 

Then compare to the graph as to overall profitability. Any plot above the red line indicates a winning strategy and below indicates a losing strategy. 

 

So a win rate of 40% with a RR ratio of 1: 2.5 would be profitable. A win rate of just 10% would need an RR ratio higher than 1: 9.

Of course the more trades you use for the calculations the better. There are free excel spreadsheets available to give a running tally of all trades. See this thread for an example.

The excel file 'Trade Journal.zip' can be downloaded from here should you want it.

Although I’ve always recorded my trades on/off and stuff I’ve never compiled it all into a spread sheet and looked to calculate the ratios you talk about above. Thanks for the links.

 

Do you do this manually or do you have something set up automatically so you download the daily statement and then copy paste and it figures it out? Or that api thing?

As I don't use the spreadsheet to calculate the money aspect so I leave all that blank, so for me there are only 3 manual inputs, (entry price, stop loss and exit price) plus any comments I might want to write. All else is dropdown box or auto calc.

 

You can run a spreadsheet for each different strategy and compare outcomes over a number of trades or just watch the stats if any changes to a strategy are made, they are surprisingly sensitive and soon show up change for better or worse.

 

The important thing is you are no longer guessing whether a system is working or not over time.

Hi thank you for the info I will have a look after work at the links.

I am just going to record my before and after screen shots of my trades I need to start to write on the trade set ups my entry and exit prices but I have marked them on the chart using a point to point line.

When I am more confident in my trading I will be using edge wonky to record and track my trading as this gives a lot of feedback about profit and loss of different strategies and how I can adjust stops and targets to be more profitable.

    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts? 
    • Traditional banking systems served as the gatekeepers of financial services for long, dictating how people access loans, save, and invest in opportunities. Typically controlled by a centralized system with a single authority such as a bank or government in total charge, this centralization is limited by high fees, restricted accessibility and slow transaction speed. Dentralized finance, DeFi, got introduced as a blockchain-based financial system that removes intermediaries or central authorities, and utilizes smart contracts instead. By eliminating intermediaries, DeFi delivers core benefits like improved accessibility into the financial system for everyone having internet connection regardless of their location. DeFi is also valued for its transparency. While traditional banking system often deny customers audits on how their assets are being managed, DeFi, through the help of blockchain allows anyone access to tracking and auditing transactions, thereby raising trust. Furthermore, DeFi also offers various financial services and products like DEX, lending and borrowing, stablecoins etc, all known to proffer varied innovative solutions, while operating 24/7 in contrast to traditional finance. DeFi isn’t flawless as issues like insecurity, lack of consumer protection etc are still prevalent; however, the growth of DeFi has been impressive; since its introduction, the total value locked in DeFi protocols has grown significantly indicating that the demand for DeFi services is fast growing. DeFi seems to be redefining financial industry by offering an alternative to traditional banking systems. With the increasing adoption, can we expect to see an overhaul in the way we access financial services?
