4 factors to measure the performance of a trading system:
1 - Accuracy
There is no such thing as 90% Accuracy without compromising on other factors (like profit factor, etc)
Fact - A good trading system will have only 35-60% accuracy without compromising other factors.
(1/n)
2 - Profit Factor (PF)
It is similar to risk-reward. It is derived using the below formula:
Profit Factor = Total Profit by winning trades / Total loss by losing trades
Fact - A trading system above 1.2 PF is good if it scores well with other factors.
(2/n)
3 - Maximum Drawdown
The maximum drawdown also plays a vital role psychologically while picking a trading system.
Fact - Maximum Drawdown in any trading system should not exceed 20%. I suggest picking only the techniques which have less than 10% maximum drawdown.
(3/n)
4 - Maximum Consecutive Losers
We all feel bad even if we lose only Rs.1,000 in a trade. Because it is not only about the money, it is emotionally difficult to accept the failure.
Fact - A good trading system will have less than 15 consecutive losing trades.

"VOLUME is the ultimate Trading cheat code" PART 2

#1 Volume Color Can Create a False Illusion
At first look, it looks like a big volume spike.
But if you notice the price candle, it has a big selling wick.
It indicates "SELLING PRESSURE" is high at that time.
We can easily avoid this false impression using the "BLACK" color code across all the volume bars.
Now your mind doesn't assume it is a bullish volume spike!
(If you don't want to use the black color, then view the chart without getting any bias based on the volume color)
#2 Analyze Each Volume Spike Carefully
In this image, the price is breaking the resistance trendline.
How do you say whether it is a genuine breakout or false breakout (from a volume perspective)?
Observe the major Volume Spikes.
A is Bullish (Price moved upside on the next day)
B is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)
C is Bearish (Price moved sideways and fell)
D is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)
So High Probability of FALSE BREAKOUT!
