I have developed two different strategies (or systems if you like) over the last few months. I did an ample research, back tested, demo traded, other due diligence. I think I am now ready to trade properly for real. I have traded with real money before but think I am now in a position where I can have much success. My two methods seem quite holy grail (if that is possible) when I backtested. It doesn't mean I don't get losers but there are far more winners and positive pips month on month is almost certainty. One strategy is price action, combined with support resistance while the second relies more on a combination of indicators. As far as back testing goes, both have a very high success rate and, if good money management is in place, the returns should be excellent.

What I am asking is whether if you guys trade different systems (or strategies) from the same account or have separate accounts for each system you trade.

I must say a big thank you to Dylan for posting his stuff yesterday. I incorporated one of his ideas into my indicator system and it seems to have made my own system even better. So a big thanks for that.

Just to add, I do realise trading with real money at stake is a different ball game because of the psychology and when you backtest you can often start seeing things the way you want to see because of the preconceived elements of what you are looking for, but with said, I do think if I hold my nerve while in trade and stick to strict money management and show discipline there is no reason why my account shouldn't be making really good progress.


like a famous author once wrote

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

trading is a bit like that for me ........I will operate an overriding strategy (ie my highest probability one).....but be alert to using 2-3 others if the conditions apply

like a General deploying his troops .....you have to decide what tactic will work most effectively in the situation at the time

took a quick squizz finally at charts today ........

I cannot believe my eyes .........and that I wasn't trading to sell the GBP earlier today ..i missed taking 50-90 pips off most GBP pairs in my usual 6-8am session ...GU was 75 pips possible :whistling

bloody peach ....and the 3 duck corrie signalled it as well :rolleyes:

some you win - some you lose :confused:
