I found a way you can scalp against the trend even though the “Main Trend” is in the opposite of the signal. Use the already included Aligator Oscillator in MT4 does the trick. I have used it for 40 trades and have got around a 89% accuracy.
89% accuracy? That sounds amazing, and too good to be true.
Over 40 trades, what does that translate to in terms of return on capital invested?
Is this on a demo account or a live account (that is to say, what impact does two way commission / spread and / or slippage have on the practical outcome of the trades?
I use an ECN broker and have both a live and a demo. Spread is not much of an issue since its commission-based. I do my experimentation on demo and then place real trades when I am used to it.
