Hello, friends!๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป Most of you have heard the combination of the words "trading system" many times.๐
Today I wanna invite you to check your trading system, think about it's profitable. Or maybe even think about creating it๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ป
Let's Go๐๐๐
๐ค๐ปThere are 2 ways to check if the system is profitable.
The โ๐ป way is trading in this system in real time, and the โ๐ป is testing it.
System testing takes place in 3๏ธโฃ stages:
1. Preliminary testing. At this stage, the idea underlying your trading system is tested.
2. Optimization. At this stage, the best parameters are selected.
3. Final testing. Testing takes into account the money management system.
Testing can be carried out in 2๏ธโฃ ways:
๐บmanual testing ๐บcomputer testing
๐ฅThe main parameters, that will let you know is your trading system is profitable.๐ฅ
๐ฉThe total profit P (%)
๐ฉ The sum of all profitable trades S (P)
๐ฉ The sum of all losing trades S (L)
๐ฉ MIDD (maximum drawdown), drawdown
๐ฉ Recovery factor RF = P / MIDD
๐ฉ Profit factor PF = S (P) / S (L)
๐ฉ The total number of transactions
๐ฉ The share of profitable transactions (%)
๐ฉ The share of losing trades (%)
๐ฅOften when creating trading strategies, traders pursue the maximum profitability of the system. However, it is more important not to increase the value of expected profitability, but to reduce the possible risk, which is expressed in maximum drawdown (MIDD).
The empirically established boundary value of the profit factor is taken equal to 1.6.โ
If Profit Factor (PF) of your system exceeds 1.6,it shows GOOD ๐๐ป efficiency, if less - BAD ๐๐ปefficiency!
โก I recommend you to test your trading system first on virtual money, and then on real money. After that you can see a suitability of your trading system, and then you can start using it.
