This is the first post about an FT trade (forward testing trade). I am planning to open at least 50 but maybe ~100 manual trades of each new strategy I backtested before I decide if it’s worth making an EA 🤖.

The title will show the name of each trade’s strategy and the number of the test trade. This is the first test of my ICP (Impulse Candle Pattern) strategy.

I am sure that in the future, I will add many other things to these kinds of posts, but I have to start somewhere.
