Wyckoff consolidation into a Friday breakout candle with sellers testing the high and buyers defending it. That's the setup, the scanner just found it faster.
Jun 16
Not the first time I've played with $AMKR
Buy order placed from a Wyckoff consolidation pattern scanner that we're building for elite members at @sgnldk - based off of custom vision model we're training.
The Friday strong bullish candle ripping through the consolidation high, with sellers testing that high and buyers coming in.
Let's see where it goes?

Grid search ran 495 backtests and found the "optimal" parameters.
All 495 used the same data to select AND evaluate the winner.
That's not optimization. That's a memory test.
Here's why grid search reliably overfits, and the one fix that makes it actually useful:

A 70% win rate can lose you money.
A 35% win rate can make you rich.
The number that explains both:
Trading expectancy.
Here's the formula - and why win rate is the wrong metric to track 🧵

Expectancy is also called expected value (EV) - the same concept used in poker and options pricing.
Van Tharp popularized it for trading in Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom.
It works because 1R is a constant unit of risk across all trades, accounts, and instruments.

You can have a 90% win rate and still blow your account. You cannot have a positive expectancy and blow your account. Math doesn't care about streaks.

69 days, third position stopped out this morning, still closes 102% realized.
That's what actual position management looks like. the journal doesn't lie.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Finally closing our $STM trade with 102% realized.
Had a third position trigger yesterday but got stopped out this morning.
Held for 69 days (nice).
I expect this run is being sold into, and I'm happy where I'm standing.

Most FTMO Challenge failures aren't strategy failures.
They're drawdown tracking failures.
The daily 5% limit and the 10% max drawdown interact in a way most traders don't notice until it's too late.
New post: what the rules actually say, and what your journal needs to track in real time.

Most forex traders journal in the wrong unit.
Pips can't be compared across pairs or account sizes — a 20-pip win on gold ≠ 20 pips on EURUSD. R-multiples normalize all of it.
Wrote up what a forex journal actually needs to capture (and the pip→R formula):

Nobody in a Discord brags about their expectancy. Everybody brags about their win rate.
That tells you which metric actually matters.

4.95R over 41 days.
The part most won't track holding through the Apr 28-May 4 chop without stopping out is where that R was actually earned, not the entry.

That ts entry needs to do a lot of work here. 600 pip run to DoL from current price means the R is only there if stop placement is tight off the OB retest, not from now.
