I suppose we have all searched for, or at least though about the idea of a strategy that could be applied to any market (regardless of the spread) and be profitable. So I want to put a challenge out here to create such a strategy: I have myself been trying to develop such a strategy for quite some time and think I might of finally found one. And I will be sharing it here, but first I want some participation. My criteria for such a strategy is simple: The strategy must remain completely un-optimized (i.e. other than the spread all code must be static) – average spread have to be taken into account. The strategy does not have to outperform buy and hold or have exceptional returns but it has to be in the blue regardless whether the market ends in the blue or not. The strategy must work on any market (Forex pairs, Indexes, etc.) Some pointers from my experience: Obviously less is going to be more, simple high probability triggers and modest exit criteria. Indicators are useful but keep it basic (i.e. RSI[2], 200MA) Smart trade management What I was able to achieve so far is a market neutral strategy that could remain profitable in all of the major FX pairs as well as the US500 and other major indexes.
