My views are different ST da. I have done both kind of trading i.e. discretionary as well as mechanical. (i was part of team blue at TSF so very well know IDF-VPs and all that stuff). Considering your experience with trading and the number of years spent on trading,you can always say that the performance of mech systems is mediocre as compared to IDF or the other systems you are using. BUT for a newbie trader for whom the target is remaining positive, mech trading systems are not bad,provided he has thoroughly back tested the system. By backtesting i mean running bar replay and not through afls back testing.

Further i would advice to newbies to stop jumping from one TF to other, one script to other when their system is giving chop-zone.
Any good articles/links on concepts of these backtesting - bar testing versus AFL

Consider a dummy here for your answer :)
 
Sir, already given a system very easy to follow (MA method) still others are not following; Do u say anything sir?
Yes Subhadip,most traders are like small kids...when they see a new toy they get attracted to it...play with it for few minutes and when we see another toy,we discard the earlier one and go to the new toy. This process continues.

M A system posted by you is very easy to follow.But on a good day when I hear about people making trading losses one wonders whether they follow any system.

11 simple rules of trading.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/11-simple-rules-trading-chetan-potdar?trk=pulse_spock-articles

1. Trade with the trend, in the direction of the trend.Always.

2. Cut your losses, let profits run. Always use and trail your stop losses.

3. Trade free of expectations of being right or wrong. If wrong, accept your mistakes immediately and change your opinion and trade.

4. Synchronize your mind to the truth of the market. Market is price and price is god. Market is always right – accept it.

5. The degree to which ‘you think you know’, ‘assume you know’, equal’s to the degree you will fail as a trader. Your assumptions and knowledge is in proportion to your results and account quality.

6. Markets are most random. Include randomness in your trading plan. Believe in uncertainty (The market can do anything).

7. Don’t predict the future because no one can! Nothing creates more misery and unhappiness than unfulfilled expectations.

8. Don’t trade with fear or overconfidence. If you have fear OR overconfidence, there is a gap in your knowledge or trading plan.Always be ready to learn more and more...

9. Be rigid with rules, flexible with your targets.

10. Only focus on opportunities that provide an edge. Figure out what’s your edge? What makes you so better in the markets than others?

11. Rule no 1 – Never loose money. Do everything which will have lower risk and higher return. Work your risk / reward ratio.

The basic ideas remain the same:

1. Dont run from one system to other system
2. dont run from one TF to other TF
3. dont run from script to script
4. dont increase position size when you got some good move in ur favour
5. dont run away from a system when it has given you continuous whipsaws, infact its best time to raise position sizing.
6. Maintain a separate trading account for testing trade ideas (which stand BACKTESTED already), may be with little capital of 50-100k. This ensures that you do not play with your money with a new idea.
take only well tested ideas to your main account (1-2 year bar replay and successful 3-4 months sandbox live trading)
7. try to have some mentor and dont tell lies to him. Accept that you took trades without system.

Do you really need a mentor or a coach? The best golfer in the world thinks so! Tiger Woods pays his coach over 1 million dollars per year! Yet he makes over 50
million dollars per year. In fact, all professional athletes have coaches to help make them better. The reason you choose to spend the money on coaching is to
shorten that learning curve over which all traders have to travel, while increasing your levels of success; it is a cost of doing business. Remember if you are or want
to be a professional trader you are in a business.

for small traders ST sir or senior traders are GURU

it gapped down way below -2SD2 ...infact at -3SD2 ... so exited positional aggressively ....now waiting for clear pvt to short ....but there is a good likelyhood that this will intitially go sideways until -1SD2 comes down to meet price or it may pb to -1SD2.
