Just because a poker player. Card counter, or trader is good doesn't mean its not gambling.

If it wasn't gambling why would you manage risk.

A slot machine might have a 90% payout. Since it has a higher probability of getting paid. Does that make it not gambling?

I'm risking $100 and have an expectation of making $100 75% of the time..
Apply that statement to football, soccer, a poker hand, a trade, dice roll.

SH!T !!!!
I guess you are right.
Looking at the statement above I'd say ur losing money if we only get to make $100 75% of the time and risk $100 every time.
Maybe I read that wrong.

Its basically a 1R trade PRO with a win rate if 75%.

Oh, so your saying goal is to make 1:1, just keep piling in wins and HOPE you win 3 in a row regularly.
It's very easy to win many, many 5 pip trades in a row, I thought we had to have 3x with a random 10-15x thrown in for good measure.....
Who's been lying to me? LOL

Without real experience, maybe you lied to yourself.
When I scalp my overall R is right around 1R over 1000s of trades. I have over a 2 profit factor.

On mt4 run a detailed report and see what your nymbers are for the last month. The truth will be revealed. At 1R you will need over 55% win rate to be profitable over time.

Making 3x trades work also at 35%+
Many ways to win the game.

75% is a crazy score. I have to make some sacrificial Rs to the trading god in exchange for very high R trades though some days he lets me keep those sacrifices.

I was actually surprised myself until I ran the report.

FVG forces me to revisit the S/D concept. Both fvg n s/d have overlaps with my current strategy but there are trades that I avoid that turned out to be good when taken off fvg n s/d.

Done watching the mentorship series, scalping series, and now on to market maker.

What ifs chart on M1. Testing the S/D plus anti hedging combo.

M1. Not bad. Actually, great! Now I see why pro and Alias love it



Handwriting, better? I’m trying ok?

Now that you have seen FVG they are hard to unsee. I tried to forget them but they pop out like zlines.

There will be losing days. Not acceptable. Must adjust the filter to allow more entries…

FVG is valid but when S/D appear before it then I think it’s also a good choice. There are times when top/bottom S/D are not taken but FVG provided good entries. The key is to dance between them because S/D has a lot of following among the retails traders. Must understand how the mass think and exploit their loopholes coz that’s where the stacks of cash are found

My style of FVG in blue.
