Thread: We operate together

Exactly, and that is a big step.Over time, you will be able to identify when your system is in synchrony with the market and when it is better not to operate.It is something that takes time and many tests, but it is essential if you want to be profitable in the long term.

Imran's system has given me good results in lateral market conditions, but it scares me a little when there is a lot of volatility.Does anyone know if they have any specific strategy to manage more aggressive markets or unexpected movements?

With volatile markets, you need to have more filters.A good option is to add an indicator that warns you about volatility, such as the ATR (Average True Range

Interesting.He had not considered the ATR as a filter.I think I will add that indicator to see if I can make the system of imran a little safer in moments of high volatility.Again, thanks for the suggestion.

Of course, the ATR will give you an idea of ??how much the price is oscillating on average.If you see that the values ??are very high, you can choose not to operate or reduce your positions.In the end, the idea is to find a way for the system to adapt to what is happening in the market.

With so many adjustment recommendations, I feel a bit overwhelmed.I don't want to complicate the Imran system too much, but I don't want it to become too basic either.How do they find the balance between maintaining simple rules and making effective adjustments?

It is a matter of practice and proof and error.My advice is that you start with the system in its original form, try it in the demo and write down every change you make and its effect.Over time, you will see which settings really make a difference.Do not be afraid to try, but do not adjust every week or lose the thread.

That sounds reasonable.I think writing each adjustment and its impact on my trading could be very useful for evaluating the system.Maybe I was hurrying to want to change everything at the same time.

Writing is key, because it allows you to see patterns and make decisions with data.Many traders are frustrated because they do not see progress, but if you write down your results, even losses will teach you what works and what not.This is how real improvements in trading.

I will create a record of my adjustments and results so as not to lose the notion of what works and what does not.I hope that can improve my control over the Imran system and also better understand my trading style.
