Its a simple strategy which is easily conceivable. Yet it incorporates a high probability day trading setup without the burden of understanding indicators and technical analysis. Its purely mechanical and arithmetical. It needs very basic knowledge about trading.
I take this privilege to introduce O T P D (One Trade Per Day) without indicators or technical analysis.
Before embarking on rules of the OTPD, it is wise to elaborate on systems trading in general. Valid trading systems must first show more profits than losses over an extended period of time. Valid systems must have precise rules for each step of the trading process. This requirement for exact rules is necessary to eliminate judgment calls and make the traders approach to the marketplace as mechanical as possible.
Mechanical in the sense that the trader should not have any say right from deciding the trade, execution and ending the trade. Only rules of the system will decide What next? but not the trader.
As the name suggests, the trader should look for a single trade per day. Whether profit or loss the trader should shut his trading terminal and come back to trade only on next day. This is the pegging on risk that maximum to be taken by a trader. Apart, 2% rule in case of losses would come handy to keep the trader in the business for a longer time.
A complete set up will be posted in the next post.
A good number of enthusiasts are here in this forum to backtest the system on various stocks, indices.
Tweaking the system is the essence of any set up and hope members will come up some profitable tweaks.
