1Give a man a fish, he will eat. Teach a man to fish he will eat for the rest of his life..
#2 So for all you traders asking me for best settings...please don't ask me for a fish. See #1
#3 Do any of your strategies work – send me YOUR settings – find them yourself..doh! See #1
#4 If I buy one of your race cars will I win the race? The driver and their car setup wins the race... The driver must learn to drive and control their own destiny
#5 I dont have time to learn I want money now...i need to win now, just give me your secrets for $999... Give up you're dead already – trading has no time for your sort...you are doomed.
#6 I want to learn and have an open mind... Welcome to MicroTrends lets see what we can for you..
Why don't you start by relaxing and taking your time...this takes dedication and brains...

What is the best set up for the MT2 & MT SCALPER strategy meaning the HTTF and the rest
[17:34:40] MicroTrends: The best settings are those that suit your trading style and psychology - whihc only you will know. All strategies are now unlimited and free for backtesting, optimisation and market replay. i suggest put a strategy on a chart and seeing what it looks like. does it make sense to you. wold you trade that.. if so then optmise and backtest with those settings - you need to learn how to be a mechanical trader to do all that... do not take my word for it... find the truth yourself and then you will have the statistical evidence required to stay with a system during a drawdown period.
There are two types of trader:
#1 Those who buy software and havent got a clue about trading or how the software black box works...
They are dependant on software vendors and at the mercy of their marketing and publicity.
#2 Those who learn how to trade. - They might choose some software to fit in with their style...
The skilled trader will learn the trading system premise, backtest, optmise. walkforwards over a set of non correlated instruments.
The best of them will choose to diversify their trading systems and settings over a diverse portfolio....
A thought about Style
