سورة يونس، الآية ٩٤
فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكَ ۚ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ

I think trading is no more than a training ground for understanding probabilities and statistics.

I do not trade on Monday mornings (mostly), and sitting still on a bank holiday is a clear no-brainer.
Still, it went in and got me out on near BE, which is sound money management, anyway.
But should I add a holiday filter? What do you guys think?
Building the software was one thing.
Documentation?
Certainly not the sexiest bit.
Still, I did it.
The updated User Guide is now done.
If RAVEN is going to trade real accounts, the person running it should be able to open the guide and see--in plain language--exactly what the algorithm is watching for and what it will never do.
Curious what a rules-based ICT engine actually looks like when it’s not hiding behind a black box?
Past performance is not indicative of future results. I totally agree.
