mean reversion intraday is one of the hardest edges to sustain, especially when volatility cycles shift or liquidity thins out. Most of the time it looks profitable because price returns to equilibrium often enough to trick you emotionally, until the one outlier move erases every prior gain. A trend based …

okay its surprising you seriously think that you figured something out. but I’ll be honest with you, you just have backtested a strategy which isnt even work in a hypothetic way, if you understand well enough what market and what RSI are you dont even try to backtest this “strategy” …

I use 3: -RSI, just as an added confirmation filter in my strategy’s ruleset -A few EMAs (10, 20, 50) just to help with visualization and for some dynamic S&R confluence -One more that calculates ATR to use for my SL That’s all I use. None of them are absolutely …

If you take the log of the ratio and multiply it by 100 then the output would just be the percentage difference of the two ATR values. The output would be normalized to 0 instead of 1 and the thresholds may be a little more intuitive (positive -> more short-term …

Because it’s the hardest part of trading and it can’t be generalized the same way entries can. Entries are easy to show. Management is where the real edge lives. Here’s my take.. 1. A good entry with bad management becomes a bad trade. You can have a 90% win-rate setup …

ATR stands for average true range? Nevermind i got it now! Thanks for sharing.

Understanding Volatility the Right Way (and Why I Created VEI) Most traders talk about volatility… but very few measure it correctly. Even fewer understand how volatility *shifts* before price does. That’s the real edge. This is why I built a simple metric called **VEI : Volatility Expansion Index**. It helps …

How I Caught This BTC Bullish Move Using Demand + VEI (Volatility Check) - Posted Today A lot of traders only look at structure, but structure *plus* volatility tells the real story. Here’s how this move set up: **Price retested a clean demand zone** The level was already respected multiple …

r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Technicals Tuesday - Dec 02, 2025 This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on technical analysis (TA), but if TA is not your thing then just ignore the theme. Some helpful day to day links, including …

This is the part nobody talks about when it comes to backtesting I kept seeing this MACD + 200 EMA strategy all over YouTube. There’s even a video with over a million views that presents it like the most winning strategy. I mean look at the equity curve, pretty clean. …

Stop predicting, just wait for confirmation and trade what you see happening in front of you. If something moves from 10 to 20, I want the 11 to 19 move. I just ride a trend within a trend. 1% Max risk with ATR based stop, then I'm just cruising.

Yeah, this is a super common sticking point – you’re not alone at all. Right now your “risk management” rule is really a “protect my green day” rule. It feels safe, but mathematically it’s weird: you’re letting one early winner decide whether you’re allowed to take the next valid setup …

Risk management I have a quick question and would like some advice on this please! I have my trading locked down. Ik what I need to look for and Ik when I should not take a trade , etc. I’m a scalper on ES 2000 tick chart. So for example …

Why I built an EA Instead of trying to rewire my psychology (and what it does better than I ever could manually) I used to be one of those people who thought automation was cheating or not real trading. Then I looked at my own behaviour and realised something uncomfortable. …
