About this strategy

The starting point for my method is the RSI on large time frames. Where I see conditions that are oversold or overbought I examine the moving averages and try and identity a trend change.

Once this trend has been confirmed on shorter time frames I will enter a trade.

You MUST leave sufficient margin in your account for a potentially large drawdown in order to allow the trade to "breathe".

Once trades are in profit STOPS will be placed at break even and the trade will be allowed to develop.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
