I just do not get Short only....(this is stupid)
This bias is not explained. I am sorry. I posted this in the other thread and did not get any explanation. Is this some sort of a weighted calibration for shorts only...or it just works good right now?....Can we run the Long Only version side by side? Hey we could weight that too (opposite of Short only) and get a double whammy...no?
I mean...yeah anybody can curvefit a direction to work for a little while I suppose...I am not a backtester or an optimized dude ☺...I am a forward tester only...but I need to understand stuff..
I realize a price generally falls faster (not necessarily more) than it rises....but I would like to hear more about why Short only please? If this system uses small TP's and SL's and momentum...Then I stand corrected. But please explain. The nature of SAR may or may not explain this...The trend would...and we are just on one side of it with this EA?
A Short only system that does well...can do equally just as bad when the market changes...will it go to Long only then after losing all of its profits? No?
Perhaps the author of this EA or the presenter could show some screenshots and annotations...I need to know if this is a novice trader of another losing idea...I will be the first to apologize if this is something other than I suspect...Otherwise, This is a stupid idea. ConfusedSavant
P.S. I knew of a system once that used virtual trading to make a high probability decision with...it would trade & trade & trade in the background with its algorithm then when the High Probability Short to arrive. The EA would trigger based on the training of the progression and statistics on the virtual side. I see no evidence of that with this EA. This one-sided EA is just assuming all will stay the same as it is and does not interact with change or adapt. I believe we can modify it to be a great EA...so please do not misunderstand me ok? ☺
