Hi all,
I've updated the results for September so far. Hope that everyone agrees with the figures. (Right click image and open in new tab/window)
Also attached an excel spreadsheet with the results. ..............
Hello GumRai,
That's really good. Keep up the good work!
I think that the figures I give will never be quite the same. Your data is 'pure' as it were. With my figures, they are the trades exactly as I enter. Sometimes when there is a fast moving market, by the time my trade gets through, my entry point may be quite a distance from the point in the spreadsheet you've put together.
Also, sometimes a decision has to be made which goes against Sniper rules, i.e. there have been a few occasions when I've looked first thing (in the UK) and have seen that in theory a trade should be closed. But when it looks like the trade may actually be picking up and going favourably, I've stayed in (as in the trade 2/3 Sept).
Also, some of Sniper's rules are not exact – we've already discussed the variation in Sls on this thread – it's possible to get a very different result depending on which is used. Another example is the rule - “The long red candle (above) before the red arrow is very long, over 170 pips, it is not advisable to enter in a situation such as this when the candle/s preceding the arrow is very long. This often happens around major news releases.” I didn't enter yesterday's trade (long) – the preceding candle was 106. What I am saying is that different Sniper traders would make different decisions. As it happened, shortly after that trade appeared, figures from the US came out which I took to be favourable to the £, so I took it. I'm glad I did – I'm up 70 at the moment.
All this is only relevant of course to those people who are adhering to the Sniper rules. Obviously, there are lots of discussions here on amending and applying the rules – quite rightly so.
Bye,
