pvctrades is on a distinguished road
I've been doing some tests on this system and wanted to get a few opinions on what everyone thinks is better for this system. I did some tests using a 1:1 RR ratio and came up with an average of 65-80% win trades using 20 pip Stop losses and 20 pip take profits. I also did another test letting the pair ride until it breaches the 50ema going in the opposite direction of the trade. Based on that analysis, I notice that the average win to loss ratio is about 25-30% wins and 65-70% losses on trades but the amount of pips gained from the 25-30% wins was so high that it outperformed the 1:1 RR method by almost 4 times the profit. The 25-30% wins came to about an average of 1:7 - 1:12 RR ratio. I also did a test doing both together where I take half the profits at 20 pips and let the rest ride and the results were somewhere in between. Based on Nina's and everyone's experience, do you find that this system "overall" works better to let it ride longer or to just take small profits along the way? So far, I'm impressed with this system and will be going live sometime on Monday.

By the way, the tests were just based on using the simple standard method of going long/short at the open of the bar above or below the ema line. I did this test using no other indicators, no other analysis, no charting, etc. So I'm sure that adding other filters will only make this better. I wanted to test it to try to get worst case scenario but always seem to find that it profits either way.
