1. Shit video very deceiving! This isn't using the backtester on Tradingview!
2. whats up steven, i really appreciete ur help for all noobs ^_^ n thanx
3. thank you Steven for this informative video...quick question. I am a new trader currently practicing on a demo account and trying to figure out the nuances of the market and tech analysis. Would it be out of the ordinary to have multiple training strategies? this clearly would be very labor intensive but just from my short time analysing charts etc and ofcourse it may just be that eyes are not trained well enough yet BUT it is my thought that patterns are relatively uncommon and with certain rules in place I'd feel that it be difficult to ever enter into a trade because of strict criteria and only one strategy to rely on..not the patterns and rules that you use in this video being uncommon necessarily just generally speaking...or do they occur more then I think? sorry for the lengthy comment.

4. tqvm for your awesome video! ;D
5. I understand the benefits of unlocking auto scroll to get better data, by scrolling back, but are there any benefits of keeping auto scroll off all the time?
6. Awesome stuff man, cheers
7. I had an issue with my forex this morning, everything was slow, and the backtesting has already finishes. How can I avoid backtestng slowing my system down after it's completed. Im guessing it stores stuff?
8. In the report it shows "profit" and expected payoff, which one is the actually money you bank?
9. Great video. Just got to know you and your videos and you are a great teacher. Just wanted to know if you manually backtest or have a software you would recommend. Thanks again for the great video
10. This was very helpfull! Will check out more videos ;-)
11. sir, great work. good explanation. I wish to learn more from you. how?
12. You have amazing content Steven. I may very well sign up and subscribe with you. Where are you from if I may ask? Your accent sounds southern
13. Also add what time frame you took those trades on.
14. Thanks for the video, it really helps, how do you avoid looking at what happened after the trade though and just cheating while backtesting?
15. this is a really good video and even though I have been through a lot of trading education, both self and commercial, I felt i have learned a number of things from this video. Perhaps with the technique your describing; getting back to basics is the way to adjust my trading for much beter returns. Even though i never do it, i will hit subscribe like and share. thanks!
16. Stevan- once again a nice video. You are pointing a way to me. I "know" so many strategies but never ever tested them. So this was a nice tutorial-simple as it was- to test any such theory. And once it has a good past history, it can become a real strategy..Keep up the good work.
17. Superb!
18. By far the best trading educational content available. keep up the good work.
19. very helpful videos! Looking forward to your website and your training courses man. Do you backtest all your strategies manuelly only? Or are there ways to do it kind of automatically? I would also like to ask you what do you think are good traders yearly returns in the forex market. Of course its different from trader to trader but what is realistic in your opinion. thanks a lot
20. What about corelation, when u have multiple set-ups that u trade on different pairs.. for example 2 USD majors on the GBP/USD and EUR/USD there is a set-up (same set-ups ( 2 double tops) , different set-ups [gartley and cypher]). Do you take both trades or just one of them?
    
    Thanks for your advice!
