Agree with vonasi about moving averages…

And yes Vonasi this is true about increase of index should mean increase in ur systems profitability. Of course only if the market keeps behaving as it has. Bigger index also might mean u need to increase ur stop losses, ur targets, maybe even some variables. Thats the “tuning” part of the job. watching and making sure ur strategies is doing what u want them to do. If u see an increase of 5000 points in 1 index, then ur stop loss 50 pips might need to increase roughly with the same % change that tthe index has seen.

But yea that might never happen also depending on what that market is gonna do the next 1-100 years, hehe.

When i say i would rather see 1200€ each year i just mean i would like to se “as even” results as possible. What im trying to say is that i want as little volatility as possible in the EQ curve/results.

Edit: A fun thing to think about is that when a moving average 10 is crossing above say moving average 20, that means price has moved alot the last 10 candles! In other words the “move up” might already be done by the time ur entering, unless its the start of a big fat swing/trend. But usually ull find that most of ur fake signals are crossovers and then price instnatly turns the opposite way! And thats cus as vonasi said, they’re lagging indicators! When crossover happens, the move up has already happened for the past say 10 candles and u actually want to short or whatever rather then go long.

So what u wanna do, if ur gonna use moving averages as say an entry/trigger for entry, then u just wanna try to filter out as much bad signals as possible, so go into chart, look at ur bad trades and jut open indicators that would make sense to you.

Lets say u want MA10 crosses over MA20. U need to filter out all the bad crossovers… maybe close should be above bollingerband up? Maybe RSI should be above 70? Maybe close > yesterdays high?

U just gotta keep testing and trying everything that u can think of.
