In case that you does not desire to answer, I will understand.

Hi Pilofe,

Yes,i use cycle analysis and thus don`t follow blindly my own system since I try to optimize on it,though most of the time I end up having the same results..
What I always do is never going against the system,so,if in a downtrend i look either for system sell opportunities or for cyclic selling opportunities

MM no problem,i use a leverage from 5 to 1 to 10 to 1 of my account,and my stop is always the chandelier stops based on volatility AT THE 1H BAR CLOSE,my experience tells me that this is equivalent to running a 30/35 pips stop in level of risk..ON AVERAGE

LOTS i use several lots,and i try to scale into positions in 2 legs maximum,usually but not always

EXAMPLE:Suppose you have 100k EUR in account andwant to sell EURJPY yesterday as per simbasystem signal..so 5 or 10 to 1 leverage means you are going to sell 500k or 1mm EUR ,lets presume 1mm..equivalent to 10 lots,and you split it into 2 legs,so you sell 5 lots at the first signal(check the pics of my previous post)signal and look to sell 5 more at the second signal..then you are set and the Chandelier stops manage your trade

TP:I use several strategies too discretional for my taste,my research tells me that it is better to go for a ride,when i finish it i will post

Hope it helped
Simba
