I've done backtests of numerous systems trying to discover what works and what doesn't work. The 1 thing I found is market enjoys to be efficient and doesn't like quick moves that are highly inefficient. Market enjoys to range 75 percent of the time These quick inefficient moves frequently get faded right into range.
This is what my research has shown. If you have other research comprising 1000 back tests in most market conditions please share! I am looking for statistical evidence of what works and what doesn't. Please post any research of 1000 backtests in most market conditions. . Flat, uptrending on daily and downtrending on daily.

What dosn't work always:
1. Trendlines - Many rookies begin with drawing trendlines. . They do not get the job done. Too many false signs.
2. Multiple indiors... I haven't found one system with constant results yet. That works in all sorts of market Bull, bear, Flat.
3. Over complied systems.
4. Trading very good news or bad news. . If it were as easy as going long on good data... we would all be wealthy. .
5. Chart patterns found in most publiions. They operate a few of the time. . But neglect a lot. . If they do fail. . Typically a fantastic clue.
(If you challange me on this offer Data that reveal you do not take numerous Losses to receive one win on a highly consitant foundation )

What exactly does work...
1. Market construction...

a. A FAST MOVE UP IS WEAK! ... Never pursue... Look to fade... when there's opportunity. 75 percent of these quick motions are short lived.


b. A SLOW GRIND IS STRONG. . You do not want to be the first to go short against a slow grind . Reason: lots of bears stuck at the mill. That now need to buy to exit


this isn't a holy grail... Usually if price moves quickly up. . It can retrace equally as fast. If it grinds up gradually its usually trapping a lot of people on the wrong side as it retains poking up higher and higher.... And price won't want to return and allow the trapped people out who are on the wrong side of the market...
Somtimes you might get 2 or 3 legs up after a speedy movement before price decides to retrace.... A lot of its centered on studying the liquidity of the market. And the perfect method to read liquidity. . Is to be aware of the time of day and if major data is outside...

2. Liquidty
Reading liquidty...
Time of day. . Liquidty could be super high in london open then perish into london lunch. . Then surge again in USA open.
Time of week. . Liquidty may die down into a major event like a couple of days before Non-farm payroll may be slow.
Time of year. . Summer and Christmas are usually reduced liquidty as traders are on holiday.
This takes a lot of chart time to have the feel for if liquidty will change. .
If liquidty does change Bulls may stop pushing... The bids begin drying up and price may reverse. .
To acquire the feel begin indiing on your own charts and also taking note of liquidty changes at various times of day and at data releases.

3. A major change in monetary policy will undo a currency. . (may take a while to kick in)
If Aud is in major up trend along with the RBA states it's going to begin a rate cut cycle... Aud will fall.
If USA stops printing money as starts to increase interest rates Dollar will grow on the weekly charts.
I don't to over-complie this by analyzing every piece of data... Its a Broad view... That doesn't change on one or two data points.
Most traders over Complie this. For me has to be a major change Announced by a central banker. 1 BAD NFP or one GOOD EUROZONE DATA POINT WONT CHANGE MY LONG TERM VIEW. Yellen saying Rate increase is off the table would change my long term perspective of the USD.
