Lose little per trade, you cut your losses immediately and move the trailing stop higher. It still does not ensure winning trades but saves from big losses.

I am looking at this time scale to see if the market is more trending. If so, you can use some successful trend following trading strategy to give automatic entries and exits, such as Turtles. It removes emotions. The main Issue is that the closer the market to a random walk, the more you lose, and on short time scales it is random walk. Stochastic calculus wins. As for my manipulation thesis, it’s basically that the Fed shows up whenever market is in tail move. Tail moves is what makes your ewaves, TA, and trends work. When they bail out market makers, the free market is destroyed. It promotes ever increasing departure from mean, and a snap back could be devastating, so manipulation must go on forever. You know about this one right? investopedia.com reddit.com The same thing I found with fib trading, the exit can cause a large drawdown.
