Is there anybody really winning?

A simple question (just because I’m looking for motivation to go ahead after failing for so long time): IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT IS MAKING MONEY CONSTANTLY??? Is there anybody that has a trading strategy that is constantly delivering profit in the mid/long term? What I experienced so far is that a strategy that look great in the backtest and look good in the real life as well (anyhow usually worse than the backtest) start failing after few weeks or one-two months, cancell all the profit made and move on loosing money. I’m sure that everyone here is looking for a strategy that works always and not for a period of time only. How can you know when stop running a certain strategy because from a certain moment on it will start delivering loss? Personally I developed separatelly a strategy that is working really well until market is not trending (i.e. works well when market is moving sideways) and a strategy that works really well when the market is trending. But as soon as the market change its condition (from trending to sideways or viceversa) both of them fail and the result over a period of time of one or two month is negative. The solution would be to merge the two strategies in one and run a “IF MKT IS TRENDING THEN DO STRATEGY A, ELSIF MKT IS SIDEWAYS THEN RUN STRATEGY B”, but to do that I would need the “Holy Grail” of the indicators, that is the perfect indicator that tells you quickly enough, and with sufficient accuracy, when a market is starting trending, or rather, when a market is starting moving sideways. But regardless my specific issue…is there anybody that has been really making money for years?

My last 100 days has been pretty good i would say. Currently running 15 algos, majority on 1h timeframe, majority is Long only. No forex anymore, ive had several forex strategies but after investigating the “real numbers” and not the PRT numbers, i realized my forex-strategies edge was gone..

Hi jebus89,

That’s very cool. Are any of those strategies on PRC, which you’d be happy to share the links for?

Thanks very much
