i'm just doing this (well in this case it's the short version):
how can i tell this is a breakout? this is timeframe invariant, right? and i didn't get a previous buy signal.
the green dashed line in the chart is the daily high. this is 10min ES, but I get similar results for other timeframes & futures (i don't have a forex account).
i'm not denying your ability to pick trades, i'm just suggesting that there's more to your success than just the strategy that you've outlined here. it's not a simple as you claim. you're not giving your self enough credit.
for one, given that you say there's no such thing as trends, i don't understand how you'd know any of the above trades are part of a breakout. i read this thread quite thoroughly and i didn't see you mention how to do that.
also, i didn't see you mention how to exit profitable trades. can you elaborate? what does the rat do?
