Hi All,
Not really a holy grail at all. But I am wondering a few things.

1) How many people are searching for a 'holy grail'?

2) How long have you been searching for a 'holy grail' ?

3) If you found a 'holy grail' would you stop searching?

4) Have you any experience in trading manually and were/are you profitable?

Thanks for responding. a couple of follow ups, Your trading holy grail has only been running for one month. After 2.5yrs how confident are you of it being successful long term?

Hi all
My very personal 'holy grail' are:

2) Heikin ashi candles
3) Volumes
4) Dow/Elliott/Gann Theories in background

Erm Holy Grail or... Holy Drown? I only see negative progress

I seriously doubt that you have any 'grail' at all...Leave 'Holy' for the supernatural..
Now land to the world of fx , the most difficult market in the world, where bank traders loose their careers frequently..

Backtest is an indicator of very possible performance once they don't go for a few scalping pips, take into account the spread costs, have reliable data and solid strategy principle that takes advantage universal market dynamics as pinpointed on chart from human behaviour in trading. Same applies for demo accounts where performance will certainly be a 10% to 20% above the Real one,
 due to market liquidity at specific price level and broker tricks on taking advantage of foreseen depth and expertise..
Now before you even claim anything, demonstrate at least 3 months forward profitability and not a few days...
Furthermore, with infrequent trading of 1 trade per day on average, you statistical sample will not be reliable enough even after five years..Meanwhile you can dream as most do..Expensive dreams and no reliable words provide liquidity for the market perpetrators..

People get serious and separate the dreams from reality...

I´m very confident. Because it does not use the usual indicators, it´s pure math. Anyway, you can have the best system with backtests for 10 years back showing best results, trade it live and it´s the worst system ever. Backtests are a double sided sword. And a lot of proven systems don´t work anymore because of market behaviour changes.So my confidence with my sytem is about this: No use of normal indication and indicators, good MM and RR, that´s it.
always good trading
