Thread: whether to change the trading strategy from time to time?

Hello, dear people.

I've regularly faced such a issue, when the trading egy, which held a number of months suddenly ceases to generate income. I started to search for new alternatives and it takes time and money.

What do you believe, whether in this case, to try to find different choices, or simply stands to be patient?

Thank you for sharing experience.
Good trading to you!

After a time, I realized the way I use it and that the problem was not from the egy. I consider myself self explanatory trader. I found my niche. Have a nice day.

If you are going to trade a market, pick the appropriate egy and stick with it and likewise for a range bound market.

According to this,I think one egy should not be utilized throughout,understanding the different market conditions and applying the appropriate egy is the alternative.

For all other readers, and the thread starter's advantage, I think the observation that markets do change behavior, which might cause egies to neglect, is well worth corroborating. Whether you encounter that is obviously egy dependent. [/quote]
Your observation is right and would be interesting also to state why this occurs.
When you build a egy or a platform you do it via the observation of what's happened and if you're clever enough you assess the current market terms: said that anytime market changes it's behavior your egy can't operate anymore; even if the shifting is temporary it might happen that your egy will begin to operate again or when the shifting is deeper it eventually won't operate anymore.
Using a genuine method is the real edge to become profitably in the long term, since it permits you to understand current market conditions and to adapt to be springy with them. This is possible because market changings aren't linked to the fundamental rules which govern it that have been exactly the same as the market started and always the same will be: what changes will be speed, frequency, volatility, all things which do not influence fundamental market rules but do affect a lot each kind of egy or system.

Position on

Agree with Strongtrader... a true method is the real advantage

What ever method a trader uses, should operate all of the time and in all markets, stocks, futures, currency, whatever to be the real deal in my book. Is volatility, volatility, volume, volume. If it cannot be used across all of the boards, all year, year in, year out, save time and work on a method. Supply, Demand, News/Fundamentals and the glue which is the timing of all those things = $ ATM machine

Yes differences, inventory market is not 24 hours and there are tricks of the transaction for each individual market kind. Day after day, year after year uses not referring but for these to be legitimate.
