my arent you taking profits at 50% no matter what the cot is telling? thanks, tony
Hi Tony,
One of the most important things about trading with a mechanical system is to use discipline at all times - meaning to follow your signals. The win could always go bigger, for example. That single big win in backtesting could have been what offset a string of smaller losses. Otherwise, there is no point to testing or following a system.
Best regards,
Alex
