Conservative strategy

The trade plan looks very interesting! Trying to understand the strategy.
Have marked a candle 2 candles before the candle marked for going long. Why did we not go long above the candle marked by me?

Extremely sorry ! I jumped the gun!
I posted my query before finding that it has already been addressed to by Suri later in the thread!
Please ignore my Post just before this one ! Apologies again !

This experiment shows importance of knowing what is the average price swing we get in a given period. As shown by the backtest, if we keep target as 30 points, it is showing a loss because the period is sideways and it is giving very few 30-35 points price swings.Most swings are 10-15 points and hence if we keep 10-15 points profit target, we get many profitable trades and the performance becomes positive.

just my 2 cents....

Smart_trade

As i see it.......today Trade 1, Long over 9.25 bar......8740. Triggered in 10.25 bar....and hit SL in 10.50 Bar. Is this correct suri....?

Long above 9:50 red bar High 8732, SL 10 points 8724, If tgt 10 points achieved. If 15 points wait.
@ 11:49 SL hit.

oh....my. What am i missing....

As per the Rule 2

2. Go long above latest Red candle high. (When trend is down go short below latest green candle)

Trend down

@12:10 short Green candle Low tgt 15 points achieved on @ 12:30

@ 1 PM trade 3 hit tgt

@1:55 trade 4
@ 2:30 tgt hit
