Which would you would you pick.....(trading styles)

[Oatcake_eater]

100 pips a month and a 95% win rate or 1000 pips a month and a 65% win rate?

I've got two trading styles and this is the sort of stats I'm looking at. I can use both of course but which would you prefer if you had to pick?

 

[jiggly]

are you being serious?

 

[Directional]

both. the low drawdowns of the first will smooth the volatility of the second as a combined strategy.

do you have these stats from a significant sample of 100's of real trades, or is this from an unproven backtest result?

 

[Oatcake_eater]

Yes I am serious but no I don't have the results. My mentor does though.

TheBramble - I'm just asking for opinions, out of interest really. The two styles are from two different people, both would say there’s is best as you can imagine

 

[Tuffty]

Need more info to make a decision. Nos of trades, profit factor, size of positions, other risks (slippage etc).

You could make some easy money in side bets

Hey, don't belive me if you don't want to. It makes no odds to me.

I'm not trying to sell anyone anything, I just wanted people’s opinions. Say it is hypothetical then, does that make it better for you?

A case of 'having your oatcake and eating it' perhaps? :cheesy:

Wot - no Mentor now?

Too late Oatcake - You stated you have a Mentor which naturally raised the question of why you choose to ask the board questions that could be answered by your Mentor thus keeping the source of your incredible trading system, and its' mechanics, to yourselves.

I'm happy to be proved wrong so why not get your Mentor to join in the discussion,share his knowledge and debate money management etc.

I'd take 'em all if they were for free got any spare for me ?

If you can guarantee me the 1000 pips without having to look at the screen all day then I'd take that... How much does it cost though ? Is your mentor charging you ?

 

[Oatcake_eater]

I've answered the question as to why i've asked the board. Just out of interest to see if people's thinking is the same as mine. Nothing more nothing less, you can read into it as much as you like but there's nothing in it.

I don't have to prove anything to anybody Neil. As I say , I'm not trying to sell anything and it's up to you if you belive me or not. I couldn't care less.

So, what is your thinking?

 

[hornblower]

oatcake
we are just pulling your leg a bit
because thing are a bit slow at the moment
got It ??

Hornblower

and we have nothing else to do

 

[Oatcake_eater]

My thinking is the less pips, higher strike rate is better.

 

[TheBramble]

There's been an asusmption of equal drawdown on both systems. Is that the case, otherwiswe comparison isn't possible.

Yes, drawdown is equal.

 

[rols]

Yes, drawdown is equal.

C'mon put your cards on the table. The suspense is killing me......
